Hello, Me and my ex girlfriend split up and have 2 kids together we are trying to avoid the court thing so we came out with our own way of sharing the kids BUT her friends say she is planning on moving out of state and I don't know if she will take the kids or not. she keeps telling me she don't know if she will take them or not but if she does behind my back without me knowing can I do anything about it?

If you want to be sure to see your children and maintain a relationship with them, then you really have to go through the courts. Especially if she's planning on moving and possibly moving out of state. The courts can order that the children not be moved more than a specific distance away from you if you request it. Get a good lawyer, and try not to be combative with your ex. Let her know how much you care about those kids, and that you're willing to pay as much as you can afford for child support. Try to work out a plan together, and you can have it made official in court.

I agree...get to a lawyer soon! Even if you don't have much or no money at all, there are places that will help you for little or nothing. Don't wait. From experience, having it on paper is better and then no one can "change there mind" about anything. And I don't know about any other state, but in Ohio you cannot take the children out of state unless there is written consent from the other and/or the court system. In writing is better. Good Luck!
