[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Consult a lawyer, in case you are headed for divorce.  Are you currently in the same state as your home under construction? When you take your kids to family will it be in the same state or different?

Generally, as a parent, you are allowed to take your kids anywhere and it is not considered "kidnapping".

Does your DH agree with this?  He doesn't have to, but it will help you if you have some record that he agreed (texts, email, voicemail, etc.)

It also helps if you have demonstrable evidence that you have continued to foster the relationship even if you are no longer living with the father. [/quote]

Our house and the house where he is are in the same neighborhood/city/state.

The house where we’d go is in the suburbs of the city where we live, but across a state line.  So imagine we live in a little DC rowhouse, and I am taking my kids to Grandma in Potomac so they can have more space to run around, and he can have some peace and quiet to recuperate, and Grandma can supervise DL while I work.

If I bring the kids back every weekend, and send a text on weeknights saying “we’re having spaghetti, let me know if you’re coming so I know how much to cook” is that enough, or do I need an answer?  (That would be a genuine invite.  I would love it if he came for dinner every night.  I just don’t want him unsupervised with my kids right now).
