More details to this question:
I am a non custodial parent who lives out of original child support issuing state. (New Jersey) I get my kids every summer and other holidays through court order. Upon calling the school to find out last day because custodial parent wouldn't tell me, I was informed that they had been withdrawn since previous year for reasons of "out of state/country". I called custodial parent and they will not tell me where they are now located. I am going into a state of depression and I don't know what to do. I do everything on my part of court order, but it seems custodial parent is constantly not doing theirs with no consequences. I fear for the safety and we'll being of my kids mental state because when I talk to them(which is getting more rare with each call) they seem hesitant to answer certain questions and/or say things.

I suggest that you consult with a family law attorney who can file a motion with the court on your behalf to enforce your visitation schedule, have her reveal the location of the children, and establish a phone contact schedule with the children, at the very least. If she continues to disregard court orders, you can consider a request for a change in custody as well. You have rights, and you can and should enforce them in court.
