Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia

Child custody rights for tourists

What rights does a tourist have when he brings his 3 yr. old son from the Philippines and his spouse who is here under a DOD permanent status arranges for this child to be in the custody of her relatives. Generally, the wife has now reneged on her promise to the husband that she will petition for both husband and child. An Elian Gonzalez scenario.
