She planned this all an set him up.

Got him to mor away from all his support network, where she had more.

Got him to move into a home that her family had control of and could evict him.

She has all the advantages here- they will boot him and he will be out with no place to go, still legally bound to support the kids, and no way to even afford to put together a home for his kids if he was to try and get them, much less also afford the lawyer.

Since the default is the kids go to the mom, and mom will be keeping them in the same home and more "stable", an he will likely be petitioning to take them back to Ohio, his odds of getting custody seem slim to none.
