It's important that you give your co-parent notice and preferably get their express permission in writing if you wish to travel outside the state with your child. If the other parent refuses to cooperate, you can ask for the court's permission in advance.
A consent letter is recommended for all cross-border travel, even for a day trip, if the child will be travelling alone, with only one parent, with friends or relatives or with a youth group.
