Emergency Motion To Return Child Without Court Order In Riverside

Q: Can a parent keep a child from the other parent without a court order in California?

Legally, you can&#039;t keep your child from their other parent even if there is no court order for visitation in place. In most jurisdictions, both parents have equal rights to the child in the absence of a court order, meaning you cannot unilaterally prevent the other parent from seeing the child.
