What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas
I have been divorced for a little over a year now. My ex and I have two children, ages 2 and 5.
I currently live with my children in my parents' house in Texas, but I wish to relocate out of state with the children to move in with my girlfriend. We have a standard possession order in our divorce decree, but I allow my ex to see her children whenever she wants.
My divorce decree makes me the primary without actually using the term. it states that I have the exclusive right, after first consulting with the other joint managing conservator (my ex) to designate the residence of the children unrestricted as to geographic location.
Basically, my question is this: Do I just have to send her a certified letter? Or do I have to go to the courts and file something more official? What do I write in the letter? What happens if she doesn't sign for the letter? I understand that she has a right to file a motion to stop me; what happens then?
Thank you for your advice;

PS: This is probably irrellevant to the subject, but she doesnt provide health insurance to the kids as she is required by the decree, and I dont know how to enforce it. She does pay child support though.
