  A court of this state which does not have jurisdiction to modify a child custody determination, may issue a temporary order enforcing:   A visitation schedule made by a court of another state; or   The visitation provisions of a child custody determination of another state that does not provide for a specific visitation schedule.     If a court of this state makes an order under subsection (1)(a), it shall specify in the order a period that it considers adequate to allow the petitioner to obtain an order from a court having jurisdiction under the criteria specified in Article 2.

2020 Mississippi Code|Title 93 - Domestic Relations|Chapter 27 - Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act|Article 3 - Enforcement|§ 93-27-305. Registration of child custody determination

  A child custody determination issued by a court of another state may be registered in this state, with or without a simultaneous request for enforcement, by sending to the chancery clerk's office of any county in this state:   A letter or other document requesting registration;   Two (2) copies, including one (1) certified copy, of the determination sought to be registered, and a statement under penalty of perjury that to the best of the knowledge and belief of the person seeking registration the order has not been modified; and   Except as otherwise provided in Section 93-27-209, the name and address of the person seeking registration and any parent or person acting as a parent who has been awarded custody or visitation in the child custody determination sought to be registered.     On receipt of the documents required by subsection (1), the registering court shall:   Cause the determination to be filed as a foreign judgment, together with one (1) copy of any accompanying documents and information, regardless of their form; and   Serve notice upon the persons named under subsection (1)(c) and provide them with an opportunity to contest the registration in accordance with this section.     The notice required by subsection (2)(b) must state that:   A registered determination is enforceable as of the date of the registration in the same manner as a determination issued by a court of this state;   A hearing to contest the validity of the registered determination must be requested within twenty (20) days after service of notice; and   Failure to contest the registration will result in confirmation of the child custody determination and preclude further contest of that determination with respect to any matter that could have been asserted.     A person seeking to contest the validity of a registered order must request a hearing within twenty (20) days after service of the notice. At that hearing, the court shall confirm the registered order unless the person contesting registration establishes that:   The issuing court did not have jurisdiction under Article 2;   The child custody determination sought to be registered has been vacated, stayed, or modified by a court having jurisdiction to do so under Article 2; or   The person contesting registration was entitled to notice, but notice was not given in accordance with the standards of Section 93-27-108, in the proceedings before the court that issued the order for which registration is sought.     If a timely request for a hearing to contest the validity of the registration is not made, the registration is confirmed as a matter of law and the person requesting registration and all persons served must be notified of the confirmation.   Confirmation of a registered order, whether by operation of law or after notice and hearing, precludes further contest of the order with respect to any matter that could have been asserted at the time of registration.

  Unless the court issues a temporary emergency order under Section 93-27-204, 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 Section 93-27-305 and that:   The issuing court did not have jurisdiction under Article 2;   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 Article 2; or   The respondent was entitled to notice, but notice was not given in accordance with the standards of Section 93-27-108, 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 Section 93-27-305 but has been vacated, stayed, or modified by a court of a state having jurisdiction to do so under Article 2.     The court shall award the fees, costs, and expenses authorized under Section 93-27-312 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.

MS Code § 93-27-311 (2020)
2020 Mississippi Code|Title 93 - Domestic Relations|Chapter 27 - Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act|Article 3 - Enforcement|§ 93-27-311. Warrant to take physical custody of child

  Upon the filing of a petition seeking enforcement of a child custody determination, the petitioner may file a verified application for the issuance of a warrant to take physical custody of the child if the child is immediately likely to suffer serious physical harm or be removed from this state.   If the court, upon the testimony of the petitioner or other witness, finds that the child is imminently likely to suffer serious physical harm or be removed from this state, it may issue a warrant to take physical custody of the child. The petition must be heard on the next judicial day after the warrant is executed unless that date is impossible. In that event, the court shall hold the hearing on the first judicial day possible. The application for the warrant must include the statements required by Section 93-27-308(2).   A warrant to take physical custody of a child must:   Recite the facts upon which a conclusion of imminent serious physical harm or removal from the jurisdiction is based;   Direct law enforcement officers to take physical custody of the child immediately; and   Provide for the placement of the child pending final relief.     The respondent must be served with the petition, warrant, and order immediately after the child is taken into physical custody.   A warrant to take physical custody of a child is enforceable throughout this state. If the court finds on the basis of the testimony of the petitioner or other witness that a less intrusive remedy is not effective, it may authorize law enforcement officers to enter private property to take physical custody of the child. If required by exigent circumstances of the case, the court may authorize law enforcement officers to make a forcible entry at any hour.   The court may impose conditions upon placement of a child to ensure the appearance of the child and the child's custodian.
