Police Looking for Woman Who disappeared with Son

This week, authorities are asking for the public's assistance in finding a woman who disappeared with her son.

Allegedly, Carla Velasco and her husband recently filed for divorce and were granted joint child custody of their three-year-old son during their divorce hearing.  According to the custody agreement, their son was not allowed to leave the country until he was 16 years old and was not permitted to travel to Bolivia, his mother's native land, until he reached 18 years of age.

Carla failed to appear in court on October 24, 2009 for a custody hearing.  Since that time, she and her son have not been seen.  She has been charged with interference with child custody and police have issued an arrest warrant in her name. 

Now, police are asking for the public to help them locate Velasco so her son can be returned to the father.

Having difficulties with child custody?  If so, it may be advantageous to get a family law attorney involved.
