Is this something I as the custodial parent with legal and physical custody have to allow?

One needs to read your custody order or agreement here in order to determine what is going on. The general rule is that a parent can take a child out of state - like on a vacation or to see relatives - as long as there is an intent to return. It becomes an interference with custodial rights of the other parent when you leave with out an intent to return. Seek legal help. Good luck.
