Re: joint custody
The girlfriend is the child's natural mother, and, consequently, in the absence of a court requiring otherwise, she can take the child wherever she pleases.
Until your son establishes paternity(assuming that it has not yet occurred)and secures a valid order from the court giving him visitation rights with his daughter, he will have very little control over the situation which you've described.
