Re: removel of child from state
Your son needs to file an emergency motion for an injunction preventing the wife from taking the baby out of state. There are a couple of other forms that he should file at the same time. If he cannot hire an attorney, tell him to contact the local courthouse for forms and instructions. Depending on the location, the courthouse may or may not be well set up for people filing without an attorney. If you can, try to contact an attorney.
