Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia

Child custody/ kidnapping

Okay My son is at my house this weekend and he has a baseball tournament to go to and his girlfriends mom said she would take him, but my ex-wife is saying that she is going to take my son and if his girlfriends mom takes him she will press kidnapping charges. We have joint custody and i thought that as long as my child is at my house i can decide what he does, and i say that it is okay that he goes with his girlfriends mom. So can she press charges or does she have a choice in who takes my son or am i the one to take the final decision since he is at my house for this weekend?

No, if you have joint custody, when your son is with you, you then have he right to decide who may take him to a baseball game or some other entertainment event.
