If this departure is for the purposes of a visit and there is no court order precluding you from leaving then, of course ,the visit can take place. If you're planning on relocating to another state, it would be wise for you to get court orders allowing the child to be moved. Failure to do so could result in the bio father getting orders for the child's return. Please meet with experienced family law attorney to explore your legal options.
