The US State Department's web site says that, generally speaking, both parents must consent in order for a child to obtain a passport. However, among the exceptions to the rule, they do state that they will accept a court order specifically authorizing the travel in lieu of one parent's consent.

This is not, technically speaking, exactly the same as what you asked, but the net effect is the same: a court can allow a child to travel internationally even if one parent objects.

Note that "can" is not the same as "will." The details do matter, and you should retain a lawyer in order to protect your rights.

(Another exception is that if one parent has sole custody, the other parent's opinion is irrelevant: the custodial parent has to give consent and produce the court order granting sole custody; nothing else is needed.)
