What is custodial interference and how is this used to keep one parent away from another?

In this episode of the Modern Divorce Podcast Host Billie Tarascio, along with Modern Law contributor (and mom) Nancy Conrad, discuss in depth a unique custodial interference case from Arizona, where a teenage son, Blaze Thibaudeau, was abruptly taken out of state and into the wilderness by his mother.  The case was unusual because it involved a potential harm to the child due to the mother's belief in an impending apocalypse.

The father's lawyer successfully argued that the teen was in immediate and irreparable harm, leading to an arrest warrant and charges being filed. That allowed the FBI to step in and arrest the mother as she tried to enter Alaska through Canada.

This particular case is compared to two other outrageous custodial interference cases that Billie has worked on. For anyone concerned about their child's safety around the other parent, and worrying about whether their child will be "kidnapped" by family, this is a must-listen for what to do, when to do it, and how to make it happen.
