Re: child custody
He needs to contact his lawyer immediately to see if he can get an "ex-parte" custody order and also to seek other means to get the child returned.
Re: child custody
If the court has not finished hearing the case, then that needs to be done. If the mother was not prohibited from taking the child outside the state, then she has done nothing wrong. If she refuses to allow him to visit, then he needs to take that up with the court as well. Either way he needs to go to his attorney with his concerns. Merely taking the child out of state is not a violation of law.
