A: The notice provision is to give you an opportunity to file an appropriate modification action prior to the children being removed from the state. The court can order the custodial parent to return the children to the state depending on the facts surrounding the move. The court can also order a reimbursement of attorneys fees on a contempt action. You should certainly speak with an experienced family law attorney as soon as possible to discuss your options.
