Unless there is a court order stating that you cannot take your children out of state with you, under the laws of all states in this country you can do so. Howeverm before embarking on the leave, I suggest that you consult with a family law attorney as to giving you some guidance as to the filing of a legal separation or dissolution from your spouse with issues of child custody, support for them and you.
