Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Relocating a child a great diatance

Can my nephew's mother relocate both

she and her son to Indiana while the

child's father is under active duty in Iraq?

Will she be in violation of their joint

custody agreement if she leaves without

filing her relocation with the courts, and

thus guilty of kidnapping?
