More details to this question:
I left my husband in Oklahoma and moved in with my mom in Kansas. No papers or actions have been filed. He was verbally and mentally abusive to the point of mental cruelty. I have enrolled my 7yr old in school up here. He is saying I can get into trouble for this. Is this true?

Your question pertains to custody arrangements. Are you still legally married? If there is no pending court orders regarding child custody than you are free to do as you please and what is in the best interest of the child. When and if your husband petition to court for visitation, he would have to come to your county to file for papers, which I highly doubt he will do such a thing. Not many parents want to go out of state for a custody battle. You should also consider divorce and seek custody legally of the child to avoid future problems or restrictions.
