Legal Question in Family Law in California

I live in Riverside County, California. I have had sole custody of my 2 children for more than 3 years. I was never married to their father. There was an abuse incident in November 2011 and we immediately got a 3 year restraining order against my ex and he lost all visitation. I now need to move out of state. Do I need to file a request for a move away? Or just update the court on my new address? My court paperwork states nothing about keeping my children in California.

Since you have sole custody you may not need to go to court. Because per Fam. Code 3024, a judge may have put in the order that you may only need to provide notice to the Dad and his counsel of record regarding the move. Thus the Dad would have to petition to stop the move. Read your order and see if the notice is included.
