My Ex wife and I have joint custody of our children. She has got a boyfriend and moved 70 miles away. She has stated that she will put them in school in the town that she now lives in. This is a problem because with both of us having joint custody of them, we also have them every other week. I have them a week, then she has them a week. I recently found out that she is taking them to a psychologist as well with out me know it. Is this legal? can she do this?

Hi
If you have joint physical custody, then she is in violation of the Court Order. And also if you have joint Legal custody and she is seeking mental health help for them, she is violation without getting your approval.
Your option is to tell her to return the children to the state and to you or you will file a contempt action against her as her actions are interferring with the court Order and your custody rights.Please note that if you need more information, you can use the Reply to Expert.
