You should get approval of spouse first. Running out of state with the kids is a good way to create complications later in divorce proceedings.

You may also consider the following: there is a felony called custodial interference:
B. Custodial interference consists of any person, having a right to custody of a child, maliciously taking, detaining, concealing or enticing away or failing to return that child without good cause and with the intent to deprive permanently or for a protracted time another person also having a right to custody of that child of his right to custody. Whoever commits custodial interference is guilty of a fourth degree felony.
