Generally No. Best practice is for mother to file a petition to remove the children with the parentage court alleging that the move is in the best interests of the children. Burden will then be on the father to establish that he has a solid relationship with the children that would be damaged by allowing the children to move out of state.
You should hire an attorney in your area to handle this kind of custody matter for you and to otherwise advise you.
