You should expect that your husband will probably file an emergency custody order to force you to bring the children back to North Carolina if you take the children away without his consent. That would make things difficult for you in a custody case, so I suggest you talk to him about it before you leave. The best thing to do is get some kind of interim agreement in place where you and he agree you can take the kids out of the state for a set period of time, and you agree to return with the children on a specific date.
Good luck,
