Uniform Child Custody Laws
Every state has adopted the Uniform Child-Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act to govern interstate child custody cases. Basically, the UCCJEA establishes which state will have jurisdiction over an individual custody case. It’s important to remember that when a child custody case is opened in court, you may not move out of state with the child until the case is resolved. Doing so could result in charges of kidnapping and the loss of custody of the child.
