You asked
"Left the kids with you so she could move away from you ? And you took the kids rather than let them stay with their mother?"
yes... You seem a bit shocked by this... Do you work on the assumption that a woman is inherently better at raising kids than a bloke? Because you're wrong.
I WROTE...
"Francis - you have not given much detail but based on what you've written and only based on that let me tell you something. YOU hare appalling..."
I'd like to apologise. You're not appalling. You're an idiot. Sorry. I normally try to be very nice here and I am...
See here is the thing. If you come on a site like this and give some advice. Without providing the whole picture you are giving people mis-guided information. Based on the information in your original post I replied. I showed that the courts have a range of things they can do.. Nope they can't force someone to return to a previous location. BUT they can impose heavy fines including prison sentences on people who don't follow court orders.
Now I really don't like the smug looking emoji thingy at the end of your post. Here is why.. What if our original poster came and read your original post. The one where you don't mention that Child Protection services advised you to move.. And armed with YOUR STUPID advice our original poster thought SWEET I'll do that too... BUT our original poster has not mentioned that Child Protection was involved. So we can safely assume they're not involved. Hence moving away with the kids could cause her all sorts of troubles..
By all means come here - give advice, most of us rely upon our own experiences to provide that advice because none of us are solicitors... But when you only tell half the story of your experience you're putting other people in a predicament of following your advice even though it is not applicable to their case...
Just for fun... Here is a case where the mother wanted to move to America. She claimed dad was violent. In the end the courts removed ALL of the mother's legal responsibility for the children. Basically with a stroke of a pen MUM was removed from making any decisions pertaining to her own kids... She got to spend time with them, but she had no right to decide where they go to school, what doctor they see and any medical treatment that occurs to the kids. Dad had a responsibility to invite mum's opinion, but ultimately he can do what ever he wants.

So yep - the courts have a range of powers available to them. In your original post you asked 'what can the courts do?" indicating that you thought they cant do very much. Sure they cant force you to move back to such and such a town... But they can force you to wear prison clothes... ouch.
