Consequences of taking a child out of state without permission from the other parent?

If two people were divorced and had joint custody of their children and one of those parents took their children out of state (AZ) on vacation without the other parents permission what would the consequences be? Would that particular parent lose joint custody or go to jail or how would that work?

Answer #1

Someone could get in big trouble for that, they could even get charged with kidnapping so I would suggest doing that

Answer #2

It all depends on what the judge rules, but most likely that parent would lose custody. In certain cases, they would be charges for kidnapping, and possible jail time.
