Description
Violation of custody and visitation court order; penalty. Revises crime of withholding a child from a parent outside of the state in violation of a court order to remove the provision that it must have been done intentionally and that the violation of the court order must have been significant. The crime still must be done knowingly and wrongfully and there must be a clear violation of the court order. The current crime of knowingly, wrongfully and intentionally engaging in conduct that constitutes a clear and significant violation of a custody or visitation court order, without regard to the location of the child, is changed to mirror the out-of-state provision.
