If the child is subject to a court order of any kind, you most likely would have to get approval of the court in order to leave the state.

In most instances, a father cannot simply sign off on a child. If the child is adopted by another party (through step parent adoption, for example) then the father's rights will be terminated. If the father's rights are terminated then support will be terminated.
