She can do whatever she wants because she is the custodian parent. Now understand just because she takes the children out of the state this does not mean that he cannot have contact with them. He just won't be able to see them everyday and he can't do that now because of his duties. Now if moving out of the state is better for her job wise and living, well they will just have to work out arrangements. Remember the first priority is the children's best interest not the parents. The goal is to adjust and work out the arrangements for the children sake. This mean putting all personal things aside. Let the parents handle. If you are the father's parents or relatives just keep him inform and if you have a civil relationship with the mother just advise her to keep the father in the know. Otherwise let them work it out.

The father needs to research the laws of the state. If parents are only seperated and not divorced then she probably can move without the father's consent. If the father is out of the country anyway then whether they move or not shouldn't be a problem. The father should just make sure he gets her new address and phone # and he should talk to a lawyer in the state where the mother is moving from.

I think that depends on why she is taking them out of state. If it is for a visit to relatives or for vacation (something along temporary lines) she should be able to take them out of state. This is assuming she made a reasonable effort to tell the father where the children are, how long they will be there, and how he can reach them. If she is moving out of state, she needs consult a lawyer just in case. Because the father is in the army and unavailable it may not matter, or the father may not care as he can't see the kids often right now anyway, but she needs to make sure she is not breaking any rules.

It depends on the state; you need to check state law on that one, as states may vary.

If its to visit, yeah you could. If your moving permantly, I would check with your state's website and look for the law regarding that. You don't want him coming back and suing you!
