Child Abduction Question

[jlomath]

My wife has a spouse visa that is only a year old, it took us a year before to get it anyway we got it last year. We started a family as we had always intended. I have recently come across emails between my wife and her family that she is not happy in the uk, and when we go to her country in a few months she is planning to stay there and refuse to let me return with the child.

This is all without my knowledge,her family are also insiting that the child must be raised a certain way etc that is just not going to be possible in british society. This has caused alot of embarassment for me infront of family and friends.

My concern is that if i agree to go see her family with the child they may take the child to a village or do anything and i do not speak their language so that will pretty much be it. Me going to foreign police and trying to report an abduction.

So I have done a bit of research and i wanted to also ask here. In light of this confronting my wife is pointless because she will just deny it. I have informed the health worker that her family plan to try and abduct the child what else can i do?


I have been told that can

1)Not agree for the child to get a passport but this means i can not go on holiday with the child either
2)Apply to the court so that she can not take the child abroad
3)Apply to the home office for an extension of her spouse visa probabtionary period for another two years

I no longer trust her and at the same time i need to keep a stable home for a young child and perhaps we can seek councelling but in the meantime I want to protect my child and i also do not want her to get ILR if things continue the way they are.

I know she will be allowed to stay I guess even if i ask for the spouse visa to be withdrawn.

Questions I hope somebody can help I may have to stay with her for the child to see if we can resolve this but i also need to ringfence myself if possible.Most of our issues revolve around her trying to impose what her family want on our relationship.

Looks like you need a Prohibited Steps Order. But please remember applying for this may make your family problem worse. You need to seek legal advice.

It would be better if you both reach to a solution between yourselves. Going to court should be your last option.

It would be harder if the child is taken to another country. The law of that land may be different. Mother may be preferred over a father to rise the child.

Hi ok so i can get this what about her probabtionary spouse visa? I have tried to speak to her she just refuses to listen or understand and calls me cruel because i refuse for the child to go and visit her family though i have emails between her and her family as to their intent when we get there.I think this is reason enough to get this court order, as for the relationship well sadly it is dying , the middle of the road is for us both to agree the child stays here until we resolve our marital issues she wants our marital issues resolved in some kangaroo court where i will have no rights at least here we both have rights and a common language

What marital issues can be resolved in a court?

The question of court comes when at least one party wants a divorce.
