Legal Question in Family Law in California
I recently moved to state (A) my child was living with me in State (B). Before moving to state (A) I asked a judge to be able to move my child with me. The other parent and I were ordered to go to mediation where it was decided my child would reside in State (B) and visit with me during school breaks until summer when my child would move in with me and then we would all go to court and decide where child will live permanently. My question is this: Will I get into legal trouble if I decide not to return my child after school ends, to the other parent? My child, I feel, is in imminent danger, life endangering danger should my child be allowed to stay with the other parent. The other parent has a long, long history of gang affiliation, heroine use, he has no job and lives in a studio, whereas I, have no criminal record, no drug use, ever, have a 5 bedroom home in the richest suburb in the state. My husband makes well over $100,000 a year. And it seems as if the judge in State (B) is overlooking all of this evidence and is leaning towards letting my child stay in this dangerous environment. Thanks.

Family law is state-specific. No answer to your question would be valid without identifying the states and asking attorneys in what you call "State (B)" the question.
