California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from State of Washington ex rel. Burton v. Leyser, 196 Cal.App.3d 451, 241 Cal.Rptr. 812 (Cal. App. 1987):
"A noncustodial parent who cannot find his or her ex spouse and children cannot take advantage of these remedies. We think that that difference requires a distinction between 'interference with visitation' and 'concealment.' 'Appellant cannot play hide-and-seek with respondent and then recover support payments for that period of time during which she successfully kept her and the children's whereabouts unknown to him.' [Citation.]" (Solberg v. Wenker, supra, 163 Cal.App.3d at p. 480, 209 Cal.Rptr. 545, emphasis in original.)
