It may be result in court case related to marriages, civil unions, divorces, prenuptial agreement, adoption etc. Earlier child custody was perpetually given to mothers. Though, the court decision has developed since then. Consequently the perception of joint custody is heard quite often.
The UCCJA (Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act) was intended to avert a parent kidnapping his/her own child to get a more positive decision. The aforementioned law didn’t prove to be effectual. This prompted US assembly to pass the Parental Kidnapping Act, 1980. All at once US adopted the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction. The URESA (Uniform Reciprocal Enforcement Support Act) is used by the federal government. This is because of the increasing frequency of public denied of child support asking for welfare support.
It should be bore in mind that the parental kidnapping act can’t be challenged in a federal court. The Parental Kidnapping Act has significantly discouraged interstate disputes, throughway abductions and improved cooperation between US states.
