[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like you are borrowing trouble. If you are self represented, just have a conversation. [/quote]
We
Both are self represented. He was totally ok with us going so I bought the tickets. Then he wanted something from me and I said no and he is now stalling. I am trying to wait it out and I already told him I can leave the child with him if he prefers - no response. 
I just thought maybe I can just solve it without having to work with him.

If you just go and he wants to play hardball, he could sue for full custody. He would likely get it too because leaving the country in violation of a custody order is a really really big deal. If you didn’t have the temporary order in place it wouldn’t matter. Now that you do this could cause all sorts of problems for you. He could hold custody over your head to get you to give up anything he wants in the divorce.

The only way around this is a court date. Put it in writing that you need to be out of the country for XX days. You can take the child with you or leave the child with him.

Do NOT just go. That’s like handing your ex a loaded gun. [/quote]

To be completely honest I am fine with him having full custody if it comes to that - he will NOT be able to keep it for long, but of course I would prefer to avoid any trouble and fights. Thanks![/quote]

OMG! You do not see how serious this is. You could end up with supervised visitations. Imagine not being legally allowed to be alone with your child. He could press charges for kidnapping and you could end up with a criminal record.

Of course, during the divorce he could offer to drop kidnapping charges if you give up all rights to any assets accrued during the marriage and pay all of his attorney fees and be solely responsible for paying all future child expenses. Your ex could destroy your life over this. What would you pay to avoid a criminal record? Jail time?
