Ask a Divorce Lawyer: My ex wants to move my kids out of the country. Can I stop her?

Question: My ex-wife wants to take our three children to live in Mexico. They were all born in the U.S. I do not want them to go. 

What are my legal rights in this? 

The divorce decree does not specify anything about an international move. I’m not sure if this makes a difference, but she does have family in Mexico, including her new husband.

What Does David Goldman’s Case Mean To You? Focus On Procedure

It is easy in a fight for children to get distracted, dragged-down in a mudslinging battle of who’s-better, especially when your former loved ones now call you unfit, abusive, alcoholic, a no-good-something-or-other, a monster who does not deserve his children. They all wage their David Goldman battles, overseas or not. At least, that’s how it feels. It will take considerable restraint and willpower to turn the other cheek, but turn the other cheek you must, lest you remind your judge of an episode of Judge Joe Brown and lose focus on the first, most important issue in your case: procedural posture.
