Arkansas § 9-19-310 - Hearing and order.

§ 9-19-310. Hearing and order.

Unless the court issues a temporary emergency order pursuant to § 9-19-204, 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: the child-custody determination has not been registered and confirmed under § 9-19-305 and that: the issuing court did not have jurisdiction under subchapter 2 of this chapter; 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 subchapter 2 of this chapter; or the respondent was entitled to notice, but notice was not given in accordance with the standards of § 9-19-108, in the proceedings before the court that issued the order for which enforcement is sought; or the child-custody determination for which enforcement is sought was registered and confirmed under § 9-19-305 but has been vacated, stayed, or modified by a court of a state having jurisdiction to do so under subchapter 2 of this chapter. The court shall award the fees, costs, and expenses authorized under § 9-19-312 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. 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. 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 this subchapter.
