Q: Me and my ex have joint custody with her having phyical custody, court papers say she cant take him out of state 2 weekT
A: Your question is a bit confusing. I do not believe it came through completely so I am going to make some assumptions in hopes to fill in the blanks. I always advise my clients to "do what the court papers say." If the papers advise that your ex is not allowed to take the children out of state without first giving you at least a two week notice and she has failed to do so, then you can file a petition to modify custody and/or visitation which could restrict her visitation more than it already is, or, alternatively, could result in the children being removed from her physical custody and custody being vested in you. Once again, it is pretty difficult to answer the question you may have intended to ask. You are welcome to contact me for further legal advice. I would be happy to discuss your legal options with you further.
