Unless G'ma has some form of legal rights to the children... as in some form of custody etc and there is a court order barring OP from taking them to another state. OP, does your mother have any form of guardianship of the children, or any form of custody?

Not just because you're gay or you move she can't.

she has no order of protection against me. i have never had any encounters w cps or anything of that nature. my mother is unfortunately a drug addict (pain pills) which is just now trying to get sober. I do nothing of that sort. The only reasons she thinks she wants to take them is because i actually discipline my children by grounding them and giving them chores to do. My oldest daughter is 10 and she is my mothers favorite and she will tell my mother shes grounded for grades or what ever the case may be and my mother thinks im being unfair which to me is ridiculous. As far as me being gay yes i am a lesbian, yes i do have a partner and she is very good with my children, she loves them as if they are her own and they all have a bond with her. Their father and I are divorced, he lives in another state with no job and nowhere to live. Thank you all for your help and such i appreciate it a great deal.

you mother cannot stop you from moving to another state. your mother has no inheret rights. you stopped needing her permission the split second you turned 18.
