The Oxford comma isn't the issue here. The issue is that "his" binds both son and girlfriend, and therefore needs an "and" in front of it. It's not grammatical as is.

It would still read perplexingly. The Oxford comma isn't a tool for the inept; rather, the ept.

That is an affront up with which I will not put.
