As long as you are not taking the child you may go wherever you plan to go. However, you should alert the primary custodial parent that you will be leaving the country and when you plan to return if you wish to continue your visitation.
I believe there is a clause in your decree that should state that but it would have to be reviewed before I could give you any info

Yes he needs approval and now under current law he has to get written consent prior to travel or a court order. Contact my office for free consultation.
