Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

child custody

My son and his ex-girlfriend have a child. The girlfriend moved in with my son when she got pregnant and he supported her until the child was 6 months old. He wanted to marry her, she declined. When the child was 6 months old, she and the child moved back home. My son had to go to court just to get visitation rights. The courts decided every other weekend and the mother was not to move out of state. In search for a better job, my son left the state of Texas and found employment in Missouri. The mother allowed him to have the child one week sometimes 2 weeks each month as long as he continued the child support payment. Now, the mother wants to move from Texas to Seattle for 4 months and then move again to Philadelphia, living with a man she has known only 4 months. What can my son do? Should he move back to Texas, since the court states the mother can not move out of state? What are his options?

Re: child custody

Your son should run (not walk) to an attorney's office.

Your son needs a certified copy of the court document to show to his attorney.

Your question is much too complex to discuss in an email.
