Child Abduction Defense For Parents In Orange County

Most child abduction charges are brought against frustrated non-custodial parents who do not return their children following a scheduled visitation. But the charges can work both ways in California. If a custodial parent does not have the child available for pick up or drop off at a scheduled visitation for the non-custodial parent, the custodial parent may be charged with child abduction. When a child abduction case involves transporting the child across state lines, a federal charge for kidnapping may be brought against the abductor.
