What can I do if the other parent took the kids out of state without my permission?
This is a very complicated legal question and it depends on a lot of factors, including if it was a temporary trip or if it is a permanent relocation and if it interferes with the terms of the custody order. You can see the criminal statute on custodial interference in New Mexico and our general Parental Kidnapping page for some basic information. However, to find out what may be best in your situation, please go to NM Finding a Lawyer to seek out legal advice.
