Legal Question in Family Law in California

The father should go to court and asked for an order preventing her from leaving the country with the baby.

She cannot take the child out of the country without the father's permission, period. If she tries, it will be a crime. If she manages to get the child out to India, however, it is my understanding that India is one of the few countries that will not comply with a U.S. order for return of a child in a parent kidnapping. She must ask permission of the U.S. courts to leave and take the child, and due to India's refusal to abide by international standards on this issue, that permission will most likely be denied. So unless she wants to risk jail and losing her child, she better come up with another plan, one that involves staying in the U.S. unless she can get the father's consent to leave with the child, or she wants to leave without the child.
