Can my ex make me bring our children back to the state he is in if I have sole custody?
I recently moved from CT to WA due to the military and now my ex is mad at me because I told him he can’t claim our son on the income tax and now wants me to bring our children back to CT. I do have sole custody and he didn’t have a problem until the income tax thing.

I am so sorry for your situation. And I hate to throw this back in to your court, so t speak, but you need to see how this matter is addressed in your custody agreement in order to determine what you need to do. And if it was not addressed - as it is conceivable that you being in the military you may be relocated I can not believe that it could not be - and it stated that you can not leave the state (which may also be implied) and you did not get permission from him in writing or a modification in writing then you may be in a lot of trouble here. Leaving the state with the kids can be considered kidnapping on top of a violation of his rights under the custody agreement. Please get legal help asap. And thank you for your service to our country. Good luck.
