Re: What is the New York Child law?

If what you are asking is whether he can take your child to Texas, the answer depends on several factors. One if she has been a resident of NY for more than six months then she is considered a resident and thus NY would have jurisdiction to hear a custody petition. If that is the case, then they will consider the "best interest of the child" to determine who should have custody. If that is a probability then you should speak to an experienced attorney.
