The answer really depends. Is the mother simply taking a trip with the child out of country? Is there concern that she won't come back? You may need to file a petition with an emergency application to stop the trip. The Family court can have a hearing over whether the trip should take place. This is a complicated area of the law and it is best to have a lawyer help you. Good luck!
