A: If you are not a party to the case, you should probably contact the GAL. If you are a party (special or otherwise), you can file a motion (contact the other parties PRIOR to filing to motion to see if they approve). The judge will have to grant the motion before you can lawfully leave the state for a TEMPORARY trip. The motion should include the plan, contact numbers, return dates, and explanation of why this benefits the child. Usually judges allow short trips out of state (esp. if the requesting party provides abundant evidence the temporary nature and contact info.). Occasionally one of the other parties objects, but it is certainly worth giving it a shot.
