14-14.1-30. (310) Hearing and order
1. Unless the court issues a temporary emergency order under section 14-14.1-15, 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:
a. The child custody determination has not been registered and confirmed under
section 14-14.1-25 and that:
(1) The issuing court did not have jurisdiction under sections 14-14.1-12
through 14-14.1-21;
(2) 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 14-14.1-12 through 14-14.1-21; or
(3) The respondent was entitled to notice, but notice was not given in
accordance with section 14-14.1-07, in the proceedings before the court that
issued the order for which enforcement is sought; or
b. The child custody determination for which enforcement is sought was registered
and confirmed under section 14-14.1-25 but has been vacated, stayed, or
modified by a court of a state having jurisdiction to do so under sections
14-14.1-12 through 14-14.1-21.
2. The court shall award the fees, costs, and expenses authorized under section
14-14.1-32 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.
3. If a party called to testify refuses to answer on the ground that the testimony may be
self-incriminating, the court may draw an adverse inference from the refusal.
4. A privilege against disclosure of communications between spouses and a defense of
immunity based on the relationship of husband and wife or parent and child may not
be invoked in a proceeding under sections 14-14.1-22 through 14-14.1-37.
