If there is no custody order,she can pretty much do as she pleases. He needs to go to court and have the custody order straightened out as well as the child support issue. Giving her money without a court order can come back and bite him in the butt. According to the court,he is not giving her child support now,he is giving her a gift. Getting a firm custody order with the courts could prevent her from leaving the state with his children.

Yes she can. Your boyfriend will have to take the matter to court to be granted any rights that the mother might be denying him as a father. But if she’s granted legal custody of the children, then your boyfriend can’t prevent her from moving to another state anyway.

Yes she can get a legal agreement. And then no she would be commiting kidnapping then.

It depends on if his name is on the birth certificates or not.
If his name is not on the certificates,he cannot stop her from taking the twins with her,he has no legal rights to the twins and he does not have to support them either.
If his name is on the certificates,then they will need to go to court to get legal custody settled then child support established.
