My comment: The attorney replies, "If you wait more than six months, you lose that advantage." He said that before but never pointed out the authority. (After all, this column aims at general population, not law students.) Presumably it is based on state law, specifically.

Massachusetts General Law, Chapter 209B (Massachusetts Child Custody
Jurisdiction Act), section 2 (jurisdiction), subsection (1)(ii) :
http://www.malegislature.gov/Laws/GeneralLaws/PartII/TitleIII/Chapter209B/Section2

"(1) the commonwealth (i) is the home state of the child on the commencement of the custody proceeding, or (ii) had been the child’s home state within six months before the date of the commencement of the proceeding and the child is absent from the commonwealth because of his or her removal or retention by a person claiming his or her custody or for other reasons, and a parent or person acting as parent continues to reside in the commonwealth

My comment:
(a) The NYT report refers to a seven-month-old report.

Jeffrey S. Passel, Wendy Wang and Paul Taylor, Marrying Out; One-in-Seven New U.S. Marriages is Interracial or Interethnic. Pew Research Center, June 4, 2010.
http://pewresearch.org/pubs/1616/american-marriage-interracial-interethnic

Thus paragraph 6 of the NYT report is correct when it says, "One in seven new marriage is between spouses of different races or ethnicities, according to" the Pew study. And so the opening sentence of remarks to the illustration ("Nearly 9 percent of all marriages in the United States in 2009 were interracial or interethnic") is wrong. Not 9%, 14%.

Also in the illustration, the second part headlined Regional differences for both genders, talks about "Of every 1,000 married people in each group." This time, both men and women of that group are lumped together. For example, 94 out of 1,000 married whites in the US west marry out.

Note "out" can mean a different ethnicity, not just race, in the Pew study, which has two categories for Hispanics: Hispanic whites and Hispanic blacks. Of course, there are a lot in between.
(b) There is no need to read the rest of the NYT report.
