The plan was to leave and return home after 5yrs, I made it very clear I did not want our children raised here indefinitely. Now 5yrs are up and he won't leave. I have spent said time at home raising my kids and supporting my partner in his career. If a court case ensues which it most definitely likely he can fund the best of lawyers quite easily, whereas I who have put my career on hold for the family will not. It all smacks of being very unfair and I do not like the feeling of being trapped here for 14yrs until my youngest turns 18. Had I known this before I left home I would not have come, it's just not worth it.

Is it child abduction if you go home for a holiday with your kids, you're still together with their dad, but decide you want to stay at home?

What are the chances of being forced back here if you go home for a holiday with your kids with the dad approval and decide to stay there? If he has given permission for the holiday it's not really abduction then is it?

Has anybody just left to go home on holiday with their kids and decided not to come back and stay successfully or were they brought back facing abduction charges?
