If the mother has custody, does the father have any rights to prevent Russian mother from leaving country with child?
It should be in the custody agreement that the child cannot be taken out of state without the permission of the court. However people break court orders all the time and she might illegally take the child away if she were angry enough, But would she? Things in Russia are very tough, that’s why there are so many Russian immigrants in the US, So it sounds like an angry threat. What are they arguing about? Is he paying his child support on time? Is he sticking his nose in her business? Is he flaunting a girlfriend in front of her? The secret to a civil divorce and ensuing childrearing is to stop fighting. I had a relationship with someone from another country and most of his family was still there. When we divorced most of his friends were connected to me and my family. He paid child support sporadically. Many times I had to take my daughter to visit him on public transportation because he didn’t feel like driving 30 miles to pick her up. When he did transport her he was often hours late
