WYOMING Part 49

If the other parent takes the kids out of state without my permission, can I charge him with kidnapping?

Usually not, but he may be charged custodial interference in some cases.

Generally, you cannot take your kids out of the state, even for a short period of time, without the other parent's permission, unless the court order specifically says you can. If your court order does not address this issue, then the other parent is usually not allowed to leave the state with your child, unless you give him permission.

If you have a custody/visitation order in place and the other parent tries to hide your child in violation of the custody or visitation order, you can speak with law enforcement about charging them with interference with custody or contempt. This is true whether the other parent leaves the state with your child or not.*
