Your son should contact an attorney immediately. The mother does not have the right to relocate the child without a court order or father's consent. Your son can file a Petition for Custody/Visitation in the Family Court. Keep in mind that the "Home State" of the child is where the child resides for a period of 6 months--So your son should not delay in filing the petition here in New York, otherwise, he will have to bring the action in the state where the child resides.
