Can I Divorce and Move to Texas with the Kids?

Texas is a great state, but it might not be a good idea to try and relocate with the children at the same time that you are getting a divorce. Once the divorce is actually filed in the court, you cannot move with the kids. There is a temporary injunction in place and you are not allowed to leave the state with the kids at that point. And, if both parents are fit and there is an equal parenting time arrangement, it is unlikely that the court will allow one parent to move our of state with the kids. It is very tricky and each family is very different. You might want to consider consulting with an attorney before you get too far down that road of thinking about relocation.
