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?

Unless the divorce decree has language limiting her ability to relocate she is probably free to go. Read the decree. It probably says that she is the one to determine the residence of the child.
