If I’m the biological mother and want to take my child out of state to visit my family, is there a reason that I can’t take her?

I am married to the biological father of my child. He says that I can’t take her. There is no custody agreement.

Absent a court order preclusing you from taking your minor child out of state for a family visit there is nothing prohibiting you from doing so under the law. As such, I would write the biological father of your intent and provide the location where you and the child will be and the duration. Keep a copy of the letter for future use and need.
