    What does the custody order say? Do you have joint legal custody? These things make a rather large difference in the case.

    It also makes a difference why he has physical custody. Was it by agreement or did something happen and a Judge ordered him to take physical custody?

    There is another thread here with a similar situation that refers to military law specifying the child should go to the legal mother in this case.

    But the terms of the custody agreement do have a bearing here. I suggest you get an attorney and file for temporary custody.
