Verification code going to an old phone number

I could not access the icloud email on my son's ipad. I re booted the ipad to re set it with his icloud hoping he could access the email. But.. When I turn on the ipad on and add his apple ID and password the verification code is being sent to an old number. I can log into his Icloud from our mail computer but can't find anywhere to change his phone number. Is there anything that I can do? Thank you
