WHAT IS CUSTODIAL INTERFERENCE IN SALT LAKE CITY?

When we turn to Utah law, we can see that custodial interference is a criminal offense (76-5-303). While most states in this country enforce custody plans through civil processes and contempt of court proceedings, Utah has made custody interference a criminal offense that could result in the perpetrator facing misdemeanor or felony charges. Utah law says that a person will be found guilty of custodial interference if, “during a period of time when another person is entitled to the visitation of the child, the person takes, entices, conceals, detains, or withholds the child from the person entitled to the visitation of the child, with the intent to interfere with the visitation of the child.” Proving this and getting law enforcement to actually enforce the law is challenging if you are the parent losing out on parent time.
