Asked in Family Law for Missouri

Q: Family law. Issues with which address the children live at.

My ex-wife and I have been divorced for over 10 years now and this has never been an issue until now. In the divorce degree it states she gets to use her address as the children main residence. Until recently she has lived 20 mins from me now she moved over an hour and 20 mins away and crossed in to another county. She is trying to make all the decisions with the kids schooling, sports, etc and I have no say since they are so far away. I do share them 50/50 per the degree but I am now losing days due to the distance. Do I have any legal routes since she can use her address as the main residence??
