A: If there was no court ordered visitation, the mother has equal legal standing with the father as it relates to custody. You cannot kidnap your child if there is no court order forbidding visitation or contact by that parent. More information about your case is needed to provide you with a specific answer to your question. There are options that you can exercise, and it best to contact an attorney as soon as possible. We are glad to assist you. Contact us today.

I wish you well.
