Under Ohio law, If there is no court order in place Restricting her movements or the children's movements Then she can go anywhere she would like with them. In order for the father to even establish his rights to paternity He will have to bring a lawsuit in the juvenile court. This would also entail him subjecting himself to the court's jurisdiction with regard to issues like child support.
