Could my husband apply to have our baby returned to England?

Hi guys any advice would be appreciated.

I have separated from my husband and come back to Scotland with our baby. We have been here for 2 months. He just got arrested and charged for DA against me and is due for court in a few months. He has a no contact order against me also. For context - my baby was born in Scotland and we lived here for 2 months before relocating to England. The apartment has since been given up. I am doing everything to habitual residence here.

What are the chances he can bring us back to England pending an application to the court?

My solicitor says jurisdictional issues mean it is a risk. Does anyone have any advice / real experience?

Please be kind :)

Just stay where you are in Scotland. Establish local links and a local support network. Whatever he might try will take a long time and the more you and baby are settled, the harder it will be for him to argue for a move.
