If the children are not legally in your custody as they have been placed with their father, you may not move them out of state. Even if you had custody, the terms of your custody agreement may require agreement from the father or at least notification before moving out of state. It would also be a reason for Dad to challenge the current agreement and the children being permitted to move out of state.
