Parental Kidnapping Investigations
Parental kidnapping is a broad term that encompasses multiple potential scenarios. Most commonly, child kidnapping occurs when one parent takes the child without the consent of the other parent, in violation of the parents established custodial rights.
Violation of a Custody Order
If one parent violates a custody order by taking the child, they can be charged with contempt and punished by the court. This also occurs when a parent prohibits the other parent from having custody or visitation under a court order.
Having a custodial order allows us to quickly work the case, having the legal support necessary to prove your parental rights.
Parental Kidnapping without a Custody Order
If there is no custody order in place, parental kidnapping becomes much more complicated. Without a court agreement, the parent is not violating any court order by leaving the state with the child.
The best remedy to this is to contact an attorney to seek an emergency custody order. These orders can be granted when there is a substantial risk that the child may be removed from the state for the purpose of avoiding courts. These laws will vary by state.
If you need assistance through this process, Katella is available to help. Our investigators work with a network of highly-skilled Family Law attorneys.
How Parental Kidnapping Investigations Work
Our team of Private Investigators are trained on how to locate and recover missing children. We use creative techniques to narrow down a location, and trace leads until we uncover evidence.
Once we uncover a positive location of your child, we work with law enforcement to bring your child safely back to you.
If you decide to pursue criminal prosecution, our private investigators will report all evidence uncovered during the investigation, and are able to testify in court as needed.

“I used Katella Investigations to locate my young son that I hadn’t seen in a year and a half.
Mr. KC Rowe was the investigator on the case. I was totally satisfied with the work that he did, and in record time. From the first conversation with him, he showed compassion and assured me that he would help me. I felt that he understood what I was going through and that he is a man of his word.
I felt very confident in the work and I thank God for the connection. I highly recommend the Katella Investigation group for any needs.
God Bless You-”
