 During
or after a divorce, the last thing many parents
may think they have to contemplate is having
their minor child kidnapped by their ex-spouse
or the child's other parent. If parental
kidnapping occurs, it can be a very traumatic
experience.
According to
Florida Law
it is unlawful
for any person, in violation of a court order,
to lead, take, entice, or remove a minor beyond
the limits of this state, or to conceal the
location of a minor, with personal knowledge of
the order.
In parental
situations this also applies to domestic
separations where a current standing court order
does not yet exist.
If a minor child
is relocated outside of 50 miles from the
child's primary residential parent without
permission from the court or permission from the
child's other biological parent parental
kidnapping criminal charges may be fired against
the offending parent.
When it comes to your divorce and family law
modification
needs, it is important to have a voice of experience
on your side. Contact Robert S. Sigman,
P.A., today at

to see how we may be able to help you.
It is not uncommon
for the parent who abducted or moved the minor
child outside of the lawful geographic boundary
to attempt to justify their actions by asserting
claims of parental misconduct, child abuse, or
child molestation against the parent that the
child has been abducted from or denied
accessibility to his or her minor child.
When parental
kidnapping occurs the court which has
jurisdiction will immediately order the child be
returned to the jurisdiction and returned to the
rightful primary custodial parent. In cases that
involve allegations of parental misconduct,
child abuse, or child molestation exist the
court may decide to have the allegations
investigated prior to ordering the minor child
be returned to the rightful primary residential
parent.
Regardless if
allegations are made against a primary
residential parent or not, if your child has
been abducted by the child's other parent, seek
experienced legal counsel immediately.
Often times when
parental kidnapping occurs, the offending parent
may temporarily or permanently loose parental
visitation rights for the minor child. This is
something that your legal counsel may advise you
of as an option to request of the court in an
effort to ensure parental kidnapping does not
occur in the future. The court has the authority
to grant this request, choose to allow the
offending parent supervised visitation only, or
decide to temporarily grant restrictions that
will be revisited after a specified period of
time.
In making any
decision regarding a minor child, the court must
rule in the best interest and safety of the
minor child.

Parental Kidnapping or other Family
law issues it is important to be made fully aware of your legal
rights, options, and to have aggressive,
detailed, and dedicated legal
representation in your corner. Hiring an
