And today, I'm answering the question, what's the difference between a writ of habeas corpus and a writ of attachment in a child custody case?

[Attorney Sharita Blacknall] 00:17
But before I answer this question, I want to remind you that if you have a specific situation that you'd like to talk with someone on our team about, you can go to our website to schedule a call. Now, this good.

So a writ of habeas corpus is a document filed with the court to alert the judge to the fact that your child has been taken by someone who does not have the legal right to have possession of the child.

[Attorney Sharita Blacknall] 00:42
This will usually be the other parent or a relative. a writ of attachment on the other hand, is the document that is signed by a judge that orders law enforcement to pick up the child from the person that doesn't have the right to have the child and return the child to the parent that does have the right to have the child.

Interesting information.

One question, in civil matter cases other than family cases such as when a judge orders an individual to Not do something trough a civil Judgment and that individual still violates the judges order and a writ of attachment is filed with the court: in that case will the judge order law enforcement to physically bring the individual that violated the judge's to bring him before the court trough an arrest ?

Thank you 🙏
