Tensions may run high when divorced or separated parents exchange their child for visitation. They should do their best to avoid heated confrontation, especially threatening or violent behavior. In one recent Virginia case, a man was initially convicted of abducting the mother of his child by allegedly trapping her in his car during an argument while exchanging custody of the child. His conviction was reversed, however, because the evidence showed that the mother did not stay in the car out of threat or fear of harm to herself or child if she left the car. Instead, the evidence showed that she stayed in the car to avoid the embarrassment of fighting out in the open.
