Not unless she can maintain the visitation schedule. An out of state move constitutes a material change in circumstances and can be used as a basis to file a motion to modify custody. If you have evidence or strong belief that she is going to move, he should file a motion to modify and request full custody.

He should contact an attorney to file for a change of custody. Other factors need to be determined and a discussion is necessary. 410.750.2567
