Parental Kidnapping Prevention Act (PKPA)

Ponzi Scheme

A federal law that seeks to control and prevent parental kidnapping by requiring states to ensure parents are in compliance with the terms of the pkpa before the court will make a custody order, and to refuse to enforce child custody orders made in another state when the parent obtaining the order did not have legal custody of the child.
