Re: out of state visitation

Speaking from a Mississippi prospective, if he fails to return her (being under 14 years of age), he is guilty of interstate removal of a child under age 14. So go to your Justice Court Clerk or Sheriff's Office and file a complaint against him. This is a felony that carries up to 3 years imprisonment. Code section is 97-3-51.
