Probably not. If you have sole legal custody, and you are letting your child go for a (presumably short-term) visit to a grandparent, I doubt the child's father could say anything that would make a difference. Is there something in a court order that prohibits or limits your taking the child out of state? Mostly there is just the statute which requires advance notice if you are moving the child to another state or more than 150 miles away. You are not moving her. It would be a good idea to consult the lawyer you employed during the divorce or paternity case.
