So we went for a holiday to her home country in the EU, and I had to return a week early for work reasons. On the eve that she and our child was suppose to fly back, she said didn't want to come back. I'm trying to keep things amicable at the moment and intend to fly back out there and resolve things, and is it stands we are not separated, but if that falls apart legally is that still abduction if I do not consent to our child not returning?
This is a very stressful time for me. Thanks for reading

I mean the OP's partner.

@mathanxiety I've known you a lot of years, at least ten, probably nearer fifteen, under various usernames (Me) and always rubbed along great.
This is the first time I've been disgusted by what you are saying.
You are, for some reason, adding inference to everything the OP has said, or hasn't said.
We know nothing about this man, true.
You know nothing about the woman either.
All any of us know, at face value (words on a page innit) is that the mother of his child WILL have abducted the child if she doesn't return.
Which is why he, (as any parent facing the same thing) is being advised to take correct legal advice.

It seems you think all women are angels and men are always wrong. You think women are ok to do this but way behold a man that does. Neither circumstance is ok.
I had a neighbour who insisted on dragging her H and children to Australia, then dumped them and ran off with some tanned beach bum. The H was stranded in Aus with no hope of getting home and had to build a life for himself and the children with no family or old friends around to support. I absolutely believe that everyone is capable of evil - selfishness, callousness, self absorption, and everything else that goes into creating hell on earth for a spouse or partner.
But to believe the OP is to believe that just because of some 'normal' stress, and a 'strain' in the relationship due to her homesickness, a woman has taken the risk of ending the relationship and potentially having to hand over her child to a person she is at best ambivalent about. How did he deal with her when she talked about being homesick? What sort of support did he offer to her in dealing with the baby? What sort of support did she get from her family in Poland - were they welcomed by him if they visited to help out? If they visited, was he resentful of long term visitors/ impatient with people speaking Polish?
Why is she taking this huge risk?
It seems questioning a man about the factors that led his partner to decide the relationship wasn't worth staying in the UK for is really unacceptable to a few of you, but I think you need to look up the meaning of the word misandry.
I don't believe in jumping to conclusions. I've asked a lot of questions here, and so far I'm not sure the answers were complete.
