Absent an order issued by the court mandating that the court give permission for your daughter to leave the state with the two minor children that you have written about, she does not need permission to do so. However, from a practical standpoint it would be a wise idea for your daughter to consult with a family law attorney to place both fathers of the children on actual knowledge of her intent to move from the state where she presently resides.
