You did not provide enough information to answer this question adequately. You can check the Illinois Revised Code or Statue Code which can be found on line.
Most States in the United States of America recognize that within a marriage, each person (mother and father) possess exactly the same "custody" rights as one another. Most states presume and acknowledge that a child born IN wedlock is the child of the married persons. So, legally speaking, if you are married, you and your husband have the same rights to custody until a court of competent jurisdiction decides otherwise. Married mothers do not possess "sole custody" of their children simply based on the fact she gave birth to them.
On the other hand, most States in the United State of America, concerning unmarried Women, recognize and adhere to the fact that children born OUT of wedlock remain in the sole physical custody of the child's mother until a court of competent jurisdiction rules otherwise.
So, in summary, if you're married, you don't have sole custody...it is up to a judge.
If you're unmarried, you do have sole custody unless/until a judge rules otherwise.
Hope this helps. This is a very important issue...

If a mother with a child enters rehab to fix her problems can the father get full custody where they already have joint custody?
It really depends. I think that the mother and father should have full custody. I say this because the mother is doing this to get better, for the benefit of her kids. Some might argue that she should not have custody because why would she had to go to rehab in the first place. It really depends. I think that the mother and father should have full custody.

Without knowing the jurisdiction difficult to say. In general, you'd need to prove the mother is unfit to have custody. This is a hard thing to do. Joint custody is more likely.

Can a mother take a child across state lines without fathers permission in the state of Texas?
I don't believe the mother can do that in any state. There is an order of how things are supposed to go. The mother must ask the courts permission to go and it must be granted. Fathers do have rights.

Yes, but I teach fathers how to change that.

In the exercise of that PR she can seek information for the children's doctor/school etc
