If you do choose to leave the state, you do need legal counsel, a GAL recommendation. Having sole custody, not a night to yourself. Child service involvement, not 100%, yet need to line up a clear picture why it's best interests. His arrest, was he charged? Could swing your favor. Called a removal case, don't get trapped into losing your kids, by not having a certified statement(NOTARIZED) that he allows you to vacate state or a court ruling (about a year to year and one half, no kidding) costly, but American bar judges book on custody states it's safer to be far away. ..
I know, in the midst of a removal case, myself, me and my m inor children. ..
^^^Good advice above^^^
