Answer 1

The made the current order because you must first obtain a court order before you change the pemanent residence of a child to another state.

Don't despair. File for an emergency ex parte hearing regarding your move. This is your only option. Perhaps you will be in front of another judge who will hear your case. If not, you will have to file a formal motion to request your move. You will likely be allowed to move, however it will take some time.

YOU MUST MOVE BACK. Do NOT give him custody and do NOT disobey the court's order.

Answer 2

You can appeal the order -- but you're facing an uphill battle.

You should have appealed the order before you left -- now, having already violated the court's orders once, you are in a much weaker position asking for anything else.
