You can not hold your son hostage even though I agree that this is unreasonable of him. And I think that the court would also agree. Is there a custody agreement in place? It generally states that addresses are to be exchanged. If it does not then you need to go to court and demand it. But first send him a letter by certified mail asking for his address. Be calm and respectful this way when you go before the judge you will have the upper hand. Good luck.
