In a custody agreement, can I require the child not to be taken out of state?
I’m afraid my child’s father will try to take her all over the state to random friends’ houses that she has never met before or even possible a couple states away. Can I state that he cannot leave town while she is in his care?

No, not really. You can try to limit his traveling to a certain distance before he has to ge tour consent and out of state is generally a no no with out consent (but you should put it in there anyway). The agreement is a contract. You can negotiate the terms. Good luck to you.
