Noncustodial parent won’t return our child who has lived with me since birth.
Q) Noncustodial parent won’t return our child who has lived with me since birth. He lives in Everett, WA and I’m in Louisiana.
A) If a non-custodial parent refuses to return a child who has lived with the custodial parent since birth, the custodial parent may need to take legal action. The custodial parent can contact a family law attorney in their area for specific guidance and legal representation in their case.
In some cases, this situation may be considered parental kidnapping, and the custodial parent may need to file a complaint with the local police department and/or the FBI. Additionally, the custodial parent may need to seek assistance from the state’s child welfare agency and/or the local court in the non-custodial parent’s state.
It’s recommended that the custodial parent act promptly and seek legal assistance as soon as possible to ensure the safe return of the child and to protect their rights as a parent.
