Relocation can trigger court processes. Your text is not the lawsuit: state dates, addresses (as appropriate), and how the kids’ schedule is affected—then follow counsel and your order.
Not legal advice. Relocation rules vary widely. Talk to a licensed attorney before moving or responding to a move.
