Legal Question in Family Law in Louisiana

I am the domicilliary parent for our kids. I have no emotional support here and would like to move out of state to be near family that can help me with my children. What are the laws regarding if I can move out of state with the kids. My ex claims he has to "approve" it first and if he doesn't, then I can't leave.
