If you have the kids and there is no court order stating that you share custody or visitation, you can go anywhere you want. Until there is a court order you both are the legal parents of those kids. That also means that if he were to take them he also would be in his rights.
Please note: I am not an expert. I am relaying information regularly found on the Law>Family Law board.

That is right you are the mother and they are in your custody.
You need to do what is best for them.
