CAN MY WIFE MOVE MY KIDS TO ANOTHER STATE?

QUESTION: My kids are 10 and 8. They were born in California. We moved to Mississippi about 8 years ago. We lived there for 4 years then moved to Texas. I finally got my wife to move back to California. My wife keeps threatening to move the kids back to Texas. Can she legally do that?

MY RESPONSE: She can, unless she is served with a divorce or legal separation case filed in California. Once served, there are automatic temporary restraining orders on the reverse side of the Summons which restrain her from removing the children from the state of California during the divorce or legal separation proceedings.
