🌍✈️ If the other parent takes your child out of the country and refuses to bring them back, it’s critical to act immediately.
Family law attorney Jonathan Breeden explains that your first step is filing an emergency custody order here in the United States, specifically in the state where you and the child resided.
After that, the process depends on whether the country your child is in is part of the Hague Convention:
✔️ Hague countries follow established international rules through the U.S. Embassy or even the State Department to help return the child.
❗ If the country is not part of the Hague Convention, the process becomes much more complicated.
In either situation, it is essential to contact a local family law attorney who has experience with international custody cases to guide you through the next steps and improve your chances of getting your child safely home.

Even if there’s no custody order in place, both parents still have legal rights in most states. Because of that, making major moves without a court order can create serious complications.
We always recommend securing a custody order before relocating and beginning the custody process 12–24 months in advance whenever possible. It gives everyone clarity, stability, and legal protection. ⚖️

🚨 What if someone takes your child out of state — and you don’t even have an address for where they are?
Attorney Jonathan Breeden explains the steps you can take under North Carolina law.
📚 If you share legal custody, or if there’s no order but you’re on the birth certificate, you can contact the child’s school to learn where the records were transferred.
🕵️♂️ You can hire a private investigator to help locate them through public records or skip tracing.
⚖️ And most importantly: You can still file for an emergency custody order in North Carolina even if you don’t know the other parent’s current address. A judge can order the child to be returned first, and service can happen afterward.
If your child has been removed from the state without your knowledge or agreement, you are not out of options. North Carolina law gives you several tools to act quickly.

🚫 No custody order doesn’t mean no rules.
A common misconception is that if parents don’t have a court-ordered custody agreement, they can do whatever they want with the child. That’s not true.
Either parent can file for custody at any time — and if one parent tries to move the child out of state, the court can often issue a temporary custody order within 24 hours. ⚖️
A custody order helps protect your rights, your child’s safety, and provides structure when things get complicated. 💜
If you’re unsure what your next step should be, our team can help you understand your options and take action quickly.

🌎✈️ Can you appeal a custody order that lets your child move out of state or even overseas?
✅ Yes, every state allows for an appeal!
📅 In North Carolina, you have 30 days from the date the judge signs the order to file your appeal.
⚖️ Keep in mind — you’ll need an appeals attorney, not a custody attorney, to handle that process.

Relocation cases are never simple — but when one parent has already moved out of North Carolina, it can sometimes make your request to relocate more reasonable in the court’s eyes. 🏡✈️
Jonathan, owner and founder of Breeden Law, explains what judges typically consider in these situations and why the other parent’s move might work in your favor.

In North Carolina, not listing the father on the birth certificate doesn’t automatically remove his parental rights.
He can still establish paternity and pursue custody — even if you’ve moved out of state. ⚖️

When people stop me to talk about the podcast, there are always a few names that come up.
Early on, it was Adrian O’Neal, one of our first guests. People wanted updates on the Mountains to the Sea Trail, the new boat ramp, and the Cleveland Community Park.
Later, it was leaders like Craig Olive, our Register of Deeds, or Rick Hester, our county manager. And recently, I’ve had so many people mention Stacy Beard from Novo Nordisk — especially since she reminded us again and again, “We’re hiring.”
These are the episodes that stick with our listeners.

If you’re new to The Best of Johnston County Podcast, where should you begin?
For me, it’s two places:
1️⃣ The very first episode, where we set out our mission to spotlight the community and its small businesses.
2️⃣ The Ask Jonathan Anything episode, where Raena turned the mic on me. I shared my story — growing up in Laurinburg, son of a CPA and an ER nurse, inspired by the Federalist Papers and a dynamic civics teacher to become a lawyer.
Those two episodes explain both our why and our how.

Some episodes stay with me long after the cameras stop rolling. One of them was learning about Isaiah 117 House — the first of its kind in North Carolina, right here in Johnston County.
Instead of children entering foster care being left in an office or cubicle, this home will welcome them with toys, showers, new clothes, and real beds until they’re placed with a family.
As someone who has worked in foster care for years, this episode hit home.

Not every guest changes how you think. But when candidate-turned-county commissioner Bill Stovall joined us, he did exactly that.

❓ Can a parent move a child out of state if grandparents have court-ordered visitation every other weekend?
⚖️ The answer isn’t one-size-fits-all. Relocation decisions depend on the custody agreement and whether a judge approves the move. Courts balance parental rights, the child’s best interests, and grandparents’ visitation.
💡 Thinking about a move—or worried about losing visitation? Get clarity before making decisions.

❓Can a parent move a child out of state if the grandparents have court-ordered visitation every other weekend?
The short answer: it depends. ⚖️ Courts take relocation very seriously, especially when grandparents have legally recognized visitation rights. Whether a move is allowed often comes down to the specific custody order and what a judge determines is in the child’s best interest.
💡 If you’re thinking about relocating—or if you’re a grandparent concerned about losing time—you should get legal guidance before making any decisions.

Think your divorce is finalized and the house is “yours”? Think again.
In this clip, I share the shocking truth: if you never dealt with the deed during your divorce, your ex may still legally own half the house—even 10 years later. I get calls about this every single week. One signature can be the difference between full ownership… or giving away hundreds of thousands in equity.

In divorce, selling the family home isn’t just about finding a buyer—it’s about the conditions of the sale.
In this clip, I explain why full-price offers aren’t always the end of the story, how contingent offers can complicate things, and why keeping the house clean and “showable” is critical. If one spouse secretly resists the sale, the entire process can grind to a halt.

When divorcing couples can’t agree on a realtor, what happens?
In this clip, I explain how separation agreements can give structure—like one spouse picking three realtors and the other choosing one. And if you’re in court? The judge will step in and pick someone themselves.
It might sound simple, but choosing the realtor can decide whether your home sells quickly… or drags into conflict.

Most couples think hiring a realtor is the first step when selling a house in divorce. It’s not.
In this clip, I explain why you need an agreement on how the proceeds will be split before bringing in a realtor. Without it, deals can stall, closings can collapse, and attorneys may be forced to hold the money in trust until the court decides.
I also reveal the first thing a realtor will do when you meet with them—and why it matters more than you think.

In divorce, dividing assets isn’t always about selling the house. Sometimes, it’s about trading. One spouse might keep the 401(k) while the other keeps the house—but it’s rarely that simple.
In this clip, I break down how courts and attorneys actually look at assets: from cars and credit cards to pensions and collectibles. Divorce isn’t just about splitting things—it’s about creating an accounting spreadsheet of everything you own and everything you owe.

Most people believe divorce means splitting everything 50/50. That’s not always true. Under North Carolina law, the court’s job is equitable distribution—and that’s very different from equal division.
In this short clip, I explain what “equitable” really means, why the family home is usually the biggest asset in a divorce, and how courts actually look at property like 401(k)s, cars, and even Bitcoin.
