If there isn’t a child custody agreement in order with the courts, it’s not considered kidnapping. But if can file against you to try and make it where you can’t move so you’ll want to get some type of court order in place ASAP where you can move or reside in Hawaii.
Even if you get served first or don’t file first you still have rights. It just looks better if you file first.
I had a court order stating I couldn’t move out of two counties. The dad over 12 years had NOTHING to do with our son. Not even a phone call.
I move out of state because I didn’t think he’d contest it. His parents were bothered by it and paid for him to file on me for contempt of court to serve jail time for moving out of state. I hired an attorney and we settled on traveling for visitations and they acknowledged we moved and live in this state and etc. My son refuses to see or talk to them and the Dad who legally filed because it’s between us legally hasn’t called or tried to his my son since then either. We filed in Texas originally in 2008 and I moved to Oklahoma. Every state is different so make sure you look into the laws there but definitely act fast to put an order in.
