More details to this question:
I have sole custody of my two boys. I want to relocate with my youngest son and have my oldest son stay here. We have an emergency hearing tomorrow to stop me from leaving the state with my youngest. Is it possible for a judge to make me stay here until a new custody arrangement is put in place?

Not you, but your child, yes. Unless you can prove it is in the child's best interest, not yours, to move out of state the court will order the child to stay in the state.

The judge cannot make you stay, but he can order that you not take the child out of the area.

The judge can't make toys ray but he can order that the child/children stay. Then you have to decide If you go and leave the child or you stay until there is a new parenting plan.

Yes. Relocation of the children is a decision for the court. If both kids are here and you want to leave, the judge can't prevent it. But you can not relocate a child without the court's permission if the other parent objects.
