I'm guessing that it's a temporary order. If not, you should be working on getting it changed. It is bad enough to get an order that the kids can't leave the county even for an ice cream cone in the next county if it's temporary while the divorce is pending, but if it's permanent, it's absurd.
I would suggest that you request that the permanent order say that they can't RELOCATE outside of the county without the court's permission rather than can't be removed (which implies even short term travel out of the county). (It could be that this is the intent, anyway, and 'removed' implies permanent removal, but I'd make sure).
From what I understand, this is a standard order that is filed with every divorce or cust mod case in our state, already 'pre-signed' by 10 judges in the county in which the cm petition was filed (and is in place while the case is pending/until it's decided). I would certainly hope it doesn't mean our son can't be 'removed' at any second on any day from that county - that would make my visitation with him pretty crazy, since I don't even live in that county
(??? now I'm beginning to wonder...???)
Basically the reason I ask is because my ex believes she is above the law. Don't know if you remember my old posts from her last disruption to our son's life, but as a refresher, she's the one who moves every 9 or so months, and changes his school every time. When she informed me of her most recent intent to move (as usual, less than the required 30 days in advance), and this time far enough away to completely negate a significant portion of my visitation with our son, I filed for cm, and with that filing went this standard mutual restraining order. She moved anyway. Which is a lot bigger deal to me than going on a weekend trip somewhere, or driving a county away for an ice cream cone.
So I was wondering, based on the language of the order, if it's as big a deal to the court as it is to me. Or if the court sees this move as staying in the same jurisdiction because she did not leave the state.
