Dear Wood:
Greetings. Yes, you have RIGHTS. You should immediately file a custody action asking that the children remain in North Carolina. If you have the children about half of the time, you have a good reason why the children should live here. Not only will you pay more child support if they move to Georgia, but you will also have to pay travel costs.
Finally, note that if you file for child custody, you need to be prepared to have full custody of your children. Best of luck.
