Parental Kidnapping
Criminal Defense in Albuquerque, NM
Parental kidnapping happens when someone with a legal right to custody—such as a parent, grandparent or legal guardian—maliciously takes, hides or lures a child away from another person with legal right to custody. It must be established that the accused person removed the child in violation of the custody order and intended to deprive the other party of custody for a long period of time.
In New Mexico, parental kidnapping is a fourth degree felony. If convicted, you could face a prison sentence of up to 18 months, fines of up to $5,000 and restrictions on your custodial rights. Any felony conviction comes with the potential to negatively affect future employment opportunities.
If you have been accused of parental kidnapping, seek experienced legal counsel immediately.
