1 Answer from Attorneys
Family law, divorce, custody, adoption
Without seeing all the documents, I can only give a general answer, so you should consult your attorneys or the court. First, I would like to the court judgments and orders. Often they state that a child must remain within the court's jurisdiction, typically the parish it resides in. If a child is taken over state lines to defeat custody, simple kidnapping could be charged; it could also be used by the other parent to avoid paying support.
