Essentially, because it's not a permanent move out of state, parents either must come to an agreement on this issue or get a court order reflecting the visitation arrangement going forward. Unless there's a legitimate reason for an objection, the court will likely allow a child to vacation with a parent.

a small trip out of state is usually not a violation of a family court order.
he can as easily take them for an out-of-state trip as you can.
