California Law Child Custody Conflict

When There is a Risk of Parental Kidnapping by the Other Parent

wpadmin July 25, 2017

Sad little child, boy, hugging his mother at homeYou may have a complicated custody matter that brings everyday worry to your life. For instance, you may be dealing with a spouse that refuses to obey the order at all costs. Perhaps they keep you from time with your child, alienate the child against you, and more. Of course, when a parent is disobeying the court order, they are breaking the law and this is seen as “contempt.” When you bring a contempt action in the courtroom, you are asking the court to enforce the order and make a finding that the other parent was disobeying the order, which could lead to consequences. But what happens when something as serious as parental kidnapping becomes a concern? You may have options in California.

If You Are Worried Your Child May be Kidnapped by the Other Parent 

If you are worried about the possibility of child abduction, there are some things you can do. When your order was created, you and your spouse both received periods of custody and visitation – and if the other spouse takes the child away from you and leaves the area or state, they are kidnapping the child. You should always keep a list of familiar addresses of those you know, a record of information about the other parent, and constantly keeping new photographs of the child to help them return if they are abducted.

When One Parent Leaves the Country With the Child 

The State Department’s Office of Children’s Issues helps the parent looking for their child if a child is kidnapped by one parent. Unfortunately, child custody disputes are private legal matters so it is sometimes difficult to start the process, which is why you should always take precautions when you feel as if there is a risk by the other parent. The Hague Convention, which is an international treaty that applies to child abductions, can help you. If a child is found with the other parent in another country when they are not supposed to be there, they must be returned to the country of residence.

Because these cases can be complicated, it helps to speak to a knowledgeable attorney if you have concerns about the other party. We handle complicated family law matters and can hopefully give you the advice needed, and the answers in court that you deserve. Call us today.

Beyond impressed! I had been self represented through years of family law and child support court hearings and was so hesitant to hire an attorney out of fear and trusting that they would appropriately represent myself and child. After tons of research I contacted Ms. Azizi. I immediately was greeted by Lorenzo, the Office Administrator, who made me feel so welcomed and comfortable. He assisted in making communication seamless and effortless and walked me through each step of the process. Ms. Azizi heard my concerns and was extremely sensitive to the matter of FAMILY. The team did an amazing job with discovery and building a strong case that gave me confidence and I was successful in coming to an agreement with the other party, in what has yet to have been the easiest hearing of all, thanks to them. Ms. Azizi settled my case after years of stress and agony. I am grateful for finding the team and Ms. Azizi and definitely recommend them for any of your legal needs!

This law firm is the best! They have helped me so much with my Divorce and Criminal cases and I really wouldn't know what to do if I didn't have them to represent me. Lorenzo and Ro are awesome and are there to help at all times. My attorney was Mr.Edmondson and he has been amazing. This law firm is truly great and I will never go to any other one. Their responses are quick and will answer any questions you might have.

Seven stars. I had planned to put up my reviews after my final judgment but after the first hearing, couldn't wait, and I would write this whatever the outcome of my difficult case. Soheila was simply amazing in her arguments and strategy before the judge. I felt so taken care of. I chose her for her near-30 years of experience as an attorney, the depth and strength I observed in one who had weathered hardship through her many accomplishments, her compassion, and her smarts. I can't imagine what other attorney would have Zoomed with me even in sickness to help prepare me for a legal session. And I later saw how keen she'd been in her advice. I've been deeply touched watching Soheila and her paralegal Lynda Walker fight for my child as if he were their own. They in particular have treated me with great humanity - day and night from what I experienced at my former attorney's. Lynda is a gem, on her toes, flexible, hard-working, committed to each client, humble, and sweet. She has slaved over my case, doing much of the writing, watchful of me on paper and in person, guiding me gently while encouraging me to use my voice. The staff, including the office administrator Lorenzo and Linda C, is caring, respectful, and conscientious. A band of angels.
