It would not be wise or proper to leave the State of Florida and certainly not the United States without a court order granting you primary custody over the children. It is very probably that you would not be allowed to leave the United States without the father's formal permission and would be stopped by the Department of Homeland Security. You would risk missing your flight(s)and forfeiting whatever monies you paid on the airline tickets if you tried to leave and were detained.
