If I moved from my marital home and out of state with my 3 children after separating from my husband, can he make me move back?
I have applied for state assistance and child support in my new state. My children and I have been here for almost 3 months and have enrolled my oldest in school here (who is not his son). He is saying that I have done this illegally. I am afraid that he will be able to take the twins, who are 2 ,away from me because if this move.

Generally speaking, you can not take your children out of state with an intent not to return. It can indeed be ruled a violation of the rights of the other parent. I would speak with an attorney as soon as you can on the matter.
