Very worried for very good friend. She's lives in new Zealand.. I am in U.K. Bit of background.. she moved out there with husband but they split & she went off with his best friend.. they had a baby & second baby now on the way. It's been tough for her as obviously his family disowned her & the new boyfriend doesn't have family. She lost all their mutual friends in the split.
Today she text me saying she's found out all this bad past history about the Boyf & he has a history of drug addiction (coke) they've been together just over a year. Her little boy is 14 months. She's 6 weeks pregnant.
So today she text saying since she found out about history he's been so angry.. he's had his hands round her throat, punched her in the head & face all in front of her little boy. She text saying she doesn't know what to do & wants to come home.. but doesn't think she can leave the country because of custody rights etc? I text back saying immediately get away from him whether you go to a friends, police or women's refuge... o r just fly home as surely he can't stop her leaving.. thinking the legal stuff could be sorted later?
I'm SO scared for her.. the only person I could possibly contact is her ex husband (I know him from uk).. but I know they don't speak at all & he hates her. I don't know what else to do? I'm worried if I involve anyone else it might make it worse for her. He sounds so volatile & angry I'm scared he'll do something more than hurt her.
Anyone know the rules on leaving country with a child? They aren't married.
