This fear grows significantly when one parent worries that the other parent may flee the country with their child. It’s vital for parents in this situation to take proactive steps to protect their child and their rights as a parent.

This evidence can be used to support your case in court. 2.

This court order can also include restrictions on international travel with the child.
