Different in different jurisdictions you need to see a local lawyer who knows the local courts.

I can't see a local attorney, because I cannot afford one. I feel like I am going crazy with how legal this all has to be. I have my two youngest children ing me begging to come home, cying, pleading...with their grandparents ing them, and me names...telling them they can't me...saying to hang up, etc. What a mess! My ex is on his honeymoon in another country. He moved them x miles away, without permission. I filed an emergency motion to prevent location...it was granted pending a status conference via phone today. The judge gave us all of five minutes. The opposing counsel lied and told them they needed to move to start school where they were registered at the new house. They are not registered. My ex owes their old school money and they won't release their records! SOOOOOO, they were with me for almost a week while we were waiting on all this and we were all in heaven. What would all of you do with your babies, ing, crying and sneaking s to you because they weren't allowed to ???? I am sooooooooooooo sad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you can fix this. It's difficult, but here goes. Call the court house & ask if there was a Minute Order made from the Status Conference. If so, they never ever mail it to you. It's like an Order and it becomes "law of your case." So, quickly look at the Order and you need to file a thing that is sort of like an appeal. It's ed a Motion for Clarification, or you can file a Motion for Reconsideration. Namely you will be putting into it that the Court made a decision (order) based off your X's purjery. Attach to it documentation from the school (notarized or certified) stating the school's policy and that they have not released the records. Additionally, I'd contact the new school, tell them the truth always. Identify yourself & state the contentious nature of the situation & send a letter to the Legal Dept of the school. This starts the ball rolling for the school to officially deny him access to register the children. Send the letter! State the case #. Tell them what you want, ask what they can do. Second, file a motion to ask the court for a CFI (child & family investigator) to be paid for proportion of income. That will get your X by the balls. What county are you in. Im in Arap. All the forms are available on-line. Keep it to yourself, but eventually he will figure out that he's going to be driving x miles to court A LOT.

In CA how much time does one have to file a Request for Clarification?

counting legal days typiy it is x or x days. Straight calendar days. If Christmas & New Years Day were in the mix, those two days would count the same as non-holiday days. Im too exhausted to look up the statute. I have a hard enough time with Colorado search engines. Here's what I would do. Call any lawyer and ask his clerk. They know & if you catch them early in the morning or not rushed, they'll tell you. Just make it quick. Also I just entered "motion for consideration" California into Google & it comes back with x hits. I think that will help you. Just pay attention to when they say the Order came down and compare that to the date of the MfR. Then count the days.

WOW! That is a lot... but it is certainly worth a shot! I am in Arapahoe county as well! How do you know all of this? Would love to meet you for coffee! Any chance?

I understand... that is why I have been pro-se too. A fee is fair, your time is your time. The order saying they needed to return to his new house because of school was from a status conference via telephone Tuesday morning. I also am needing to reply to a rebuttal that the oc filed in which it accuses me of defrauding the court because I used the wrong setting on mapquest. Yeah. Really. Even though the other motions gave the exact quote of miles. What do you have available next week, how much can I expect as far as getting this done asap, and what is your charge? Thanks so much.

Sounds good... look forward to hearing from you.
