Q. Separated wife needed break so she took trip to Tennessee but took my son to her mother's but didn'tgivemeoptiontokeep

A: I would strongly encourage you to schedule an appointment with an attorney in your area. Whenever anyone wants to have orders specifying their rights and duties to their children, those orders have to be issued by a court with jurisdiction (i.e. authority to make orders that affect your life). A court has jurisdiction if the child has resided in that state for a period of no less than 6 months before the filing of the law suit. There is the possibility that if your wife goes and stays in Tennessee for at least 6 months Tennessee will become your child's home state, and any orders detailing your rights and duties to your child would have to be made by a Tennessee court. These types of issues can make cases costly and difficult. I would recommend that you schedule a consultation with a lawyer in your area in order to fully discuss your options and rights.
