WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I SUSPECT A FUTURE PROBLEM
WITH A FAMILY RELATED ABDUCTION?

Make sure your custody order specifies with whom the child is to reside at specific times, and restricts removal from the state without prior consent from the judge.
Flag the child's passport, or ask passport control not to issue one if requested. The U.S. Department of State website has more information on assitance during an International parental abduction. http://travel.state.gov/family/abduction/abduction_580.html
Notify schools, day care centers and babysitters of custody orders, give copies to such caretakers and ask to be alerted if the non-custodial parent makes an unscheduled visit to the facility.
File a certified copy of your custody decree in the non-custodial parent's home county (state). This notifies the court in that county (state) that a valid decree has already been issued and must be honored. Also consider filing a copy with counties in which non-custodial parent has close friends or relatives.
Keep lists of information: addresses, phone numbers, social security number, passport number, and birthdays of all relatives and friends of the non-custodial parent.
Keep current photos of your child updated every four months. Know their current weight and height.
Keep all information in two separate and secure places.
