Re: custody

She should contact an attorney in germany for the rules on international travel with the child. If she ups and leaves, she may be in trouble for kidnapping, i suspect.

As always please contact a local attorney in your area before taking legal action.

Good luck!

Re: custody

It depends on Germany law. Is there any reason she can't leave? Did father obtain orders in Germany? Your friend would be well advised to seek legal counsel in Germany before she left with the child.
