More details to this question:
My ex boyfriend took our oldest son and moved to Colorado. I am wanting my son back. What should I do? I am getting calls from his family in Colorado saying he is doing drugs, and jumping from house to house. Teaching my son inappropriate language etc.. I just want him back so he can be here with me and his younger brother. How do I go about this between states custody, when we were never married?

If there was never any court order authorizing your ex- any parenting rights, he really has none. You need to contact an attorney where you are living for assistance in filing a custody case there that can then be enforced in Colorado. If the child has been gone for more than 6 months, you might need to start a case in Colorado rather than where you are living, but you need the expertise of a good family law attorney who understands the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act.
