What would happen if a father is wanted for parental abduction

Q:  What would happen if a father is wanted for parental abduction and he did not find out that the mother of his daughter, got legal custody of his daughter until after she is 18? The mother allowed his daughter to live with him, and than got custody of her by default, because the mother could not locate him. His daughter now 40 years old and still lives with him, and she got a restraing order baring her mother from contacting her. She does not want to see her mother ever again.


A:  David's Answer:  If by "wanted" you mean there's a warrant outstanding for the Father, then it's possible he could be arrested on the warrant. Thus, it's probably best to seek to extinguish to warrant. As for any other sanction against the Father, one would think it's highly unlikely if the daughter is willing to testify on the Father's behalf. Schedule a consultation with a NYC Child Custody attorney for a full assessment.   -- David Bliven, Bronx Child Custody attorney (www.blivenlaw.net)
