Legal Question in Family Law in California

I live in CA it is 5pm in evening. My wife, son and I were supposed to have all been in CA now. By now we all should have left AL for for CA. I left in a U-haul moving truck, to LA. My wife and son were supposed to have left yesterday by air, but wife says she got sick (?). She got in an argument with me the night before she and my son were supposed to fly; she hung up on me that night and I haven't spoken with her for 42 hours (she did email once to say she went to hospital emergency and that she's out already, and in short that she has had enough of "US (me and her together as husband and wife)" that was 27 hours ago). She has access to a phone, has PC so has internet email, she met with a friend last night and had time to speak with her, I learned from her friend. If she is mad at me, and not talking with me because of this, does she have the right from preventing me to talk with my son (via phone, or web cam). I fear that she may be keeping my son from me because of her angry attitude toward me is this legal. Don't I have rights as he is my son and I am his loving supporting father who has never abandoned them.

This is entirely a matter of Alabama law. Unless and until the child has been resident in California for six months or more, California has no jurisdiction.
