Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
kidnapping
So I'm married and my husband and I are not getting along and he said he will just take her and not tell me where they are. Can he do that? What's the law on this? Thank you !

Re: kidnapping
Since he is the biological father, and there are no court orders in effect, it is unlikely that the police will consider this a kidnapping. (There may be exacerbating circumstances that indicate violence that would cause the police to get involved).
You need to hire a lawyer immediately, to get some court orders in place that will prevent him from disappearing with the child.
