First, you may want to file a motion to require the custodial parent to leave the children in-state. Of course, there is supervised visitation for a reason and if the judge thinks the non-custodial parent cannot be trusted, the court may allow the custodial parent to leave. In that case, cell phone and skype contact can be used.

Generally, when a judge orders supervised visitation, the judge will indicate who is responsible to pay the costs. Look at your divorce or custody judgment and see what it says. The bigger question is who will pay for the travel and will the current schedule work long distance. If the father is moving, it will be up to him to go to the court to make any necessary modifications. Before doing anything, review the divorce or custody order(s) with an attorney.

First the court has to allow you to leave. Then the court would put a plan in place as to visitation and supervision.

In Louisiana, the custodial parent would have to give the non-custodial parent advanced notice of the relocation and an opportunity for that parent to object to the proposed move. Once the objection is filed with the court, the judge will decide whether the move is in the child's best interest, and if so, what revisions to the visitation will be necessary to make it work.

It depends. It will be difficult for supervised visits to continue. The custodial parent has the right to move, and the court would allow the custodial parent to move. No problem there. The non-custodial parent could visit the child at the child's new residence with a supervisor there. Cost is a factor, but the custodial parent should not have to pay any of the costs. Depending on the facts of the case. Notice the other side, see what the judge says.

Obviously either there is no more visitation or you find an acceptable supervisor in the new location.
