Duncan, OK asked in Child Custody and Family Law for Oklahoma

Q: If non custodial parent refuses to bring kids back to my town, what can I do? Kidnapping charges?

Our papers state he picks them up from me and drops them off to me. I have full sole primary custody of our two boys! He is refusing to drive to my town and drop them off now because he is now engaged! He wants to still run me over!

A: You need a writ of assistance or writ of habeous to enforce you custody order. If he is out of State then there is another step, but all of these can be dealt with swiftly with an attorney. He will also very likely have to pay the attorneys fees under the circumstances listed in your question.
