Not necessarily, but be advised that there is an interstate compact in effect among all states that they will each enforce the findings of the others child custody orders.

Maryland may assist in the return of the child if the Indiana parent has legal custody under the provisions of the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act. The Act was drafted in 1997 and has been adopted by 49 states, the District of Columbia, Guam and the US Virgin Islands. Massachusetts has not adopted it as of July, 2011. It was enacted in order to bring the Uniform Child Custody Act into Compliance with the Parental Kidnapping Prevention Act and other federal statutes such as the Violence Against Women Act.

Any court that has issued a child custody order consistent with the Act has continuing jurisdiction over the case until there is evidence there is no longer a custodial parent in the state. In other words, if the custodial parent continues to reside in the state that issued the custody order, that state retains jurisdiction over the child.

This example is a simplification of the provisions in the Act. There are many sections and you can read more at the related link.

Would Alaska extradite for child custody cases?

Alaska generally does not extradite individuals for child custody cases, as these matters are typically governed by state law and civil procedures rather than criminal law. Extradition is primarily reserved for criminal offenses. However, if a parent violates a custody order, they may face legal consequences, and the courts can enforce custody agreements through various means, including potential law enforcement involvement. It's important for individuals in such situations to seek legal advice to understand their rights and options.
