Q: Hello, I have a two year old son, who recently his mother decided to take him to the UK to start a new life.
We both reside in the bay area, California. Due to high cost of living, she believes taking my son to England would be better for him. She left with no notice, except for one text I received from her father the day they were leaving (or already gone). We have been trying to raise our son outside of court. He does reside with me during the weekends, and weekdays with her. What can I do to get my son back? I'm trying to look for any resources without the cost of buying a plane ticket. To be specific, I believe she is in Scotland, but don't have any further detail as to which exact city. I did go to Santa Clara court and filed for joint custody, but after she left. I do have the paperwork now to serve her.Thank you.
A: I would like to help you, but your question does not involve immigration law.
