Winter Park Parental Kidnapping Attorney

Florida Divorce Lawyer Assisting Clients with Child Abduction by a Parent

The word “kidnapping” sends chills down every parent’s spine, and for good reason. However, the media has not done a good job informing parents about true kidnapping or missing children statistics. Nine out of 10 reported missing children simply misunderstood their parent’s directions, ran away from home, or got lost. Of the remaining missing children, only 33 per day (on average) are abducted by strangers. More than 150 per day are taken by family members, which is classified as family-member abduction. As such, 82 percent of child abductions are family member abductions, according to the Child Rescue Network. As can be expected, the parents of the child are the most likely perpetrators to abduct a child. Whether you have been charged with parental kidnapping, or your child was taken by his or her other parent, much is at stake, and it is in your best interest to contact a Winter Park parental kidnapping attorney with The Troum Law Firm, P.A. as soon as possible.

What is Considered Kidnapping?

Parental kidnapping is defined as concealing, retaining, or taking a child unlawfully and, in so doing, violating the rights of the child’s other parent or family members. Parental kidnapping often occurs during divorce, as one parent either believes that he or she will be denied custody, or he or she simply cannot stand the fact that they may not get full custody of their child. In other cases, parental kidnapping happens when there is either no marriage between the two parents, or the two parents have not begun divorce proceedings or even brought the matter up. Regardless, parental kidnapping is illegal, and can be prosecuted as a criminal offense.

Providing Legal Service for Parents

Either as a parent whose child was taken from them, or as a parent who has been charged with parental kidnapping, you need an experienced attorney to represent your best interests in the ensuing custody battle. Our attorneys at The Troum Law Firm, P.A. represent both sides of this issue.
