Is there any way I can legally keep the mother of my children from leaving the state with my kids and without my permission?
I have a feeling the mother of my children will try to leave the state with my kids. We do not live together but I pay child support and see that my kids stay with me twice a week. Since I don’t have transportation I also give her $10 a week so that if I have my kids on the weekdays she can’t take my daughter to school. Just recently she seems to have a problem with the woman I have been dating for 9 months and has been giving signs even told my children that she doesn’t know when they are going to see me again. This worries me. My children are never in harms way and I consider myself to be the best father I can be.

You sounds like a great guy and yes, a great dad. Now, you mention here that you pay child support but you do not mention if one, you were ever married and thus divorced, and / or two, if you have any formal custoduy agreement in place. If you are recognized as their father and there is a formal custody agreement in place then she can not take them out of the state with out your permission or a court order. Please seek legal help. Good luck.
