Re: custodial rights
It depends. If there is no order prohibiting the movement, and there is no effort by the husband to hide the baby, and he is coming back in a reasonable time period, he is probably ok. If he takes the baby in the process of divorcing the wife, and intends to hide where the baby is, that is not good.
