[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My ex called the school district office saying he didn't want me to enroll the kids in the district.  The district called me to find out what was going on.  I said yes I am planning on enrolling them as the kids live with me full-time which was the truth.  We had nothing filed in court yet.  They couldn't stop me from enrolling the kids in the school district.  And neither could my ex.  [/quote]

Ok you told the truth.

Do you know there is a difference between telling the truth, and telling  a lie, (fraudulent enrollment), which is what OP's husband would be doing if he did the same thing?[/quote]

No one is saying that it would be ethically OK for OP's husband to take the kids on a "vacation" and then refuse to bring them back.  No one is saying it would be OK for OP's husband to enroll the kids in a new school without her input.  No one is saying it would be ethically OK for him to lie to the school about where their mother is.  But until something is filed establishing who the kids are at which times, he could do those things.  The system would allow it.  Eventually, if OP filed, it's quite possible she would get the kids back, but it could be a long expensive and traumatizing process for her and the kids, and the odds aren't as good as they would be if he was in contempt.  So, moving quickly and getting a court order now would both make it less likely that he will try to keep the kids in the other state, and if he does get try to keep them, less likely that he will be successful.

We all agree OP should file. She doesn’t even need a temporary custody order right away. All she needs is to file for divorce in a state/county where the kids reside with her and her STBX and indicate the marital home address . That will start the divorce proceedings by the rules of that state and legally record the kids last permanent  location [/quote]
