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

Ah sorry. But yeh it's absolutely vital the OP gets proper legal advice before agreeing to any negotiations. Agreeing to try a move (even as a bluff) or leaving it a length of time where she could stall things could change the dc's habitual residence meaning they are under the jurisdiction of polish rather than UK, taking away the protection offered by The Hague. @davejohns how are things now?
