Legal Question in Family Law in California

My ex-wife and I settled our divorce last March. A Judgment-Stipulated Judgment was entered. She refuses to abide by the agreements and when I try to communicate regarding this either threatens further legal action or refuses to respond. For instance, despite my objections moved, taking my daughters out of their schools and away from their friends and refuses to give me their current address. I would like to have the judgment set aside.

Failure to abide by a judgement is not grounds to have it set aside. It is pretty hard to set aside a family law judgment. Your remedy is to have her held in contempt of court. The way you have that done is file for an OSC re: Contempt. It will require her to show up in court and face possible jail time for refusing to follow the court's order.
