Can my wife take my daughter out of state without permission?

Does the father get custody if the mother dies?
A child’s surviving parent has the right to custody of the child, regardless of the terms of the custody order in effect when the parent died. The court’s decision also rested on the court’s conclusion that the custody case between the mother and father ended on the mother’s death.
Can I stop my child seeing grandparents?
The law does not give grandparents any automatic rights to see their grandchildren. So, in almost every case, parents can keep children away from grandparents if they choose to. This doesn’t mean grandparents have no other options.
