Implications of Sole Custody

My X and I divorced Summer of 2013. We have joint custody of our two boys 10 & 6. The boys spend exactly 50% time with each of us. When we divorced we specifically discussed international travel. Our agreement is clearly stipulated in the divorce agreement and decreed by the court.

I recently had to take her back to court because she was in violation of the divorce agreement. I planned a trip with the boys and she was refusing to give her consent and she was emboldening the boys to object to going on the trip. Long story short, the court ruled that the boys could travel and we had a wonderful trip even by the boy's own admission.

Days before the trip, despite the court order to allow the boys to travel and court order to have the mother's written consent of the trip to comply with airline requirements, she took the older boy and subjected him to a psychological evaluation at a local hospital. She was trying to get a Dr.'s order to stop the trip.

The boy's law guardian felt she had gone off the deep end and at one point we had state troopers looking for her and the boys since she was not returning anyone's calls and we suspected she may be on the run to avoid the boys being taken on the trip. Eventually, after calls from the law guardian and state troopers she surfaced.

My attorney has suggested that I request sole custody of the boys on the grounds that my X is trying to alienate me from the boys and also alienate them from the religion we've observed and also agreed to in the divorce settlement.

I welcome people's input on sole custody and its implications.
