State v. Musumeci

  1. Avery v. State

    254 S.E.2d 408 (Ga. Ct. App. 1979)   Cited 1 times

    This evidence was sufficient to authorize a finding that the unlawful intent to interfere with custody coincided with the taking of the child in Upson County so as to establish venue in that county. State v. White, 116 Ohio App. 522 ( 189 N.E.2d 160). See also State v. Musumeci, 116 N.H. 136 ( 355 A.2d 434). Cf. Maynard v. State, 47 Ga. App. 221 (3) ( 170 S.E. 265). 2. It follows from our holding in Division 1 that the trial court did not err in denying appellant's motion for directed verdict of acquittal, which motion was premised on the state's failure to establish venue.

    Holding the intentional aiding and abetting in the interference of parental rights to be an actionable tort in New Hampshire

    Accordingly, where a parent has been awarded custody of a child by court decree and the noncustodial parent abducts the child, an action will lie in favor of the custodial parent upon an allegation of damages. See, e.g., Kajtazi v. Kajtazi, 488 F. Supp. 15 (E.D.N.Y. 1978); Spencer v. Terebelo, 373 So.2d 200 (La.Ct.App. 1979); cf. State v. Musumeci, 116 N.H. 136, 355 A.2d 434 (1967) (parent indicted for child abduction under former RSA 585:20); State v. Farrar, 41 N.H. 53 (1860) (parent indicted for kidnapping his child under predecessor statute to RSA 585:19). [8, 9] Likewise, we see no reason not to hold liable one who intentionally aids and abets another in interfering with the custodial rights of a parent.
