What you need to do is hire an attorney. This is a very confusing question because you say you have sole custody already, without there being a dissolution of marriage. The custody issue is just one in a divorce.

You can probably file and do the rest from your country. I'd use an attorney to make sure that you don't miss anything. Also, the court could order you back for trial. Or after you have been in your country for enough time, maybe you could file for divorce there - ask an attorney.

Court might require you to get its permission to move the kids out of the State, let alone the country.
