Hi Mary, The short answer is you can't. The long answer is that you have to make a mobility application to get Court permission to take the children out of Alberta without the other parent's consent. There are multiple options in between. I strongly recommend that you meet with a lawyer to discuss the specific facts and nuances of your particular situation to determine the best path forward for you and your family.
