§ 3127.40.

(A) Unless the court issues a temporary emergency order pursuant to section 3127.18 of the Revised Code , 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 either of the following: (1) That the child custody determination has not been registered and confirmed under section 3127.35 of the Revised Code and that one of the following circumstances applies: (a) The issuing court did not have jurisdiction under sections 3127.15 to 3127.24 of the Revised Code or a similar statute of another state. (b) 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 sections 3127.15 to 3127.24 of the Revised Code or a similar statute of another state. (c) The respondent was entitled to notice of the child custody proceeding for which enforcement

is sought, but notice was not given in accordance with the standards of section 3127.07 of the Revised Code or a similar statute of another state. (2) That the child custody determination for which enforcement is sought was registered

and confirmed under section 3127.35 of the Revised Code but has been vacated, stayed, or modified by a court of a state having jurisdiction

to do so under sections 3127.15 to 3127.24 of the Revised Code or a similar statute of another state. (B) The court shall award the fees, costs, and expenses authorized under section 3127.42 of the Revised Code , and may grant additional relief, including a request for the assistance of law enforcement

officials, and shall set a further hearing to determine whether the additional relief

is appropriate. (C) If a party called to testify in a proceeding to enforce a child custody determination

refuses to answer on the basis that the testimony may be self-incriminating, the court

may draw an adverse inference from the refusal. (D) 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 chapter.
