Re: mother leaveing state with 2 yr old

In the absence of a court order, she can take the child. You should ASAP file for divorce and get a Mutual Restraining Order (you can do this when you file). This will order her not to take the child out of the court's jurisdiction. If she does, you can get her for contempt.
