Parent not providing trip information

| What are the ramifications, if any at all, for a parent (typically the non-custodial parent in this case) taking children on an out-of-state trip without providing any trip information to the other parent? There is no custody order yet and the upcoming hearing isn't until after the supposed trip is set to occur. |

| If there's no custody order, he has just as much right to the kids as you do and can do anything he wants. If you're worried about them not coming back, make sure to hold on to their passports. |

| You said it’s the non-custodial parent and then later say custody hearing has not occurred. |

| Do you provide all information? There are no ramifications. You ask him directly before you hand over the kids. Ask for the flight and hotel information/dates, etc. |

This isn't accurate. Is the divorce filed? You should give your atty a call/note about this, no ex cannot just disappear with the kids, they have to provide a basic itenerary. |

No...it isn't. It sounds like OP has filed (they said hearings are scheduled) so they need to talk to their atty. I'm not one (and neither are you PP) but I am divorced recently so I have some idea. |

| If there is no paperwork filed saying he has to notify you, or any kind of custody agreement in place yet then he can take the kids and do whatever, as can you. |

If there is no court order stating so, it's not required, just like she doesn't have to tell him anything. It's his time. He should give basic information, but there is probably more to the situation including her not communicating with him. Communication goes both ways. He can do what he wants on his time, she on her time. |

| Again...when the divorce is filed, you can't just take the kids away . OP, please consult your attorney. Some "advice" here is incorrect and dangerous. |

Without an order, yes you can. |

Not if you're filed. OP, please call your lawyer. |
