After our divorce, my foreign ex-wife wants to take our child back to her country. What should I do?

Settle custody and visitation through the Syariah Court before the child is taken abroad, not after. Your concern is reasonable, because once the child is in another country, a court order here is harder to enforce. But a mother's rights over a young child are also great, so do not act on your own, such as hiding the child or their passport. File an application or ask for sulh as soon as possible, and propose a written agreement on visits, holidays and video calls. Put the child's interests first in every proposal. Child maintenance remains your responsibility wherever the child lives. Get advice from a syarie lawyer familiar with cross-border cases. See hadhanah (custody).
