Custodial interference occurs when a parent disrupts the standard custodial rights of the other parent to a degree that the disruption causes denial of access. Oftentimes, the interference and retainment of the child impact the parent-child relationship. Interference with child custody in Texas is not just a family or civil matter, it’s a crime. In fact, it’s a felony to take or keep your child against visitation or custody orders.  Depriving a parent access to a child not only affects the parent but the child, as well. Interfering between a parent and child bond is detrimental and often leads to alienating behaviors.
