A: If you have custody via a court order, you can't go to jail for enforcing the current order.

A: You can not be jailed for taking possession of your son that you have custody of. However, if the 16 year old wants to live with his mother and signs an affidavit to that effect, that could give rise to grounds for a modification of the current order.
A: I agree with my colleagues, if you have a court order granting custody you won’t go to jail for enforcing it. But I agree that at 16 if he wants to live with his mother they could take a legal route to make that happen. -Homer P. Jordan IV, Esq. 404-620-1558
