My suggestion is to just go. You can't control what either of them does. you can remind your mom that what she is doing is illegal and if she wants to keep you, she should not go. Once she starts ignoring court orders, she looses credibility with the Judge.
This is a fight between your parents and unfortunately you are caught in the middle. The only thing you can do, is do what the custodial parent at the time says. You could tell your dad but then he would use that against your mom in court even if she didn't go. So, just do what mom says, but warn her she could get in trouble for doing it.

Ask her how long she wants to stay in jail for contempt of court. Remind her that legally she cannot take you across the state line or that is kidnapping, even though she is your mother.
I also agree that you should call your case worker. It sounds like your mother is trying to deliberately keep you from seeing or spending time with your father.
If your mother does go against a court order, the judge can give your father full custody and your mother could only see you under supervision of the case worker.
Also you do have the right to alert the local authorities that your mother is planning on violating a court order by taking you and your brother to Connecticut which violates the order that she is not to take you out of the state.

Tell your Mom that she really shouldn't do this, because she will get in trouble and you are tired of all the fighting. Tell her you would rather stay at home, because it would be to stressful to go, you wouldn't be able to relax and have a good time, and that is what it is all about. I hope she will listen to you. Parents forget that it isn't only them in the middle of a messy custody hearing, after all they are fighting over you, the kids, and your tired of it.

Just be on guard that your mom doesn't try to turn you against your dad. It sounds like she is unwilling to allow you to have access to your dad. If she violates the order anyway, call your dad and let him know where you are. He can take it from there.

Based on your age call your caseworker and tell them, or call and tell another adult who can call the authorities. It seems to me that your mom doesn't care if she breaks the law. Which means not much is stopping her from taking you farther then that.

try to calmly explain to her that it's not the right thing to do. if that doesn't work, call your dad.
