A: If the children have resided in North Carolina for at least the last 6 months then you should consult with a local family law attorney regarding an injunction to prevent her from doing that. Best of luck.

A: You need to hire a lawyer and sue her for custody. A lawyer may be able to help you obtain a court order to prohibit her from leaving NC with the children.
