1999 c 74 s 10; 2024 c 101 art 3 s 2

(a) Unless the court issues a temporary emergency order pursuant to section 518D.204 , upon a finding that a petitioner is entitled to immediate physical custody of the child, the court shall order that the petitioner may take immediate physical custody of the child unless the respondent establishes that:

(1) the child custody determination has not been registered and confirmed under section 518D.305 and that:

(i) the issuing court did not have jurisdiction under sections 518D.201 to 518D.210 ;

(ii) the child custody determination for which enforcement is sought has been vacated, stayed, or modified by a court of a state having jurisdiction to do so under sections 518D.201 to 518D.210 ; or

(iii) the respondent was entitled to notice, but notice was not given in accordance with the standards of section 518D.108 , in the proceedings before the court that issued the order for which enforcement is sought; or

(2) the child custody determination for which enforcement is sought was registered and confirmed under section 518D.305 but has been vacated, stayed, or modified by a court of a state having jurisdiction to do so under sections 518D.201 to 518D.210 .

(b) The court shall award the fees, costs, and expenses authorized under section 518D.312 and may grant additional relief, including a request for the assistance of law enforcement officials, and set a further hearing to determine whether additional relief is appropriate.
