Wife Just Decided to Divorce And Take the Baby With Her
Posted: 12-30-06 23:09pm

Wife just decided to divorce and take the baby with her back to our home country.

Lately our marriage has gone some rough times. My wife believes that my parents caused this. The truth is that my parents are thousand miles away. She comes from a well off family and I come from a very low middle class family. Our marriage was never blessed by my in laws. My wife is an md back in our country of origin. However due to personal issues, she never passed the license exam in the us. As for me, I worked hard and studied hard and made it as a popular and somehow successful professional. Now she feels like I basically has never been good enough for her. We decided to have a child one year ago, actually thinking it would help our relationship (what a selfish move).

Few days ago she was mad because I was sending a modest gift to my parents (around $300). Note that we both make good money. We exchange insults and as usual in our relationship, I gave in. Yet she is filing a divorce and is taking my child with her.

Guess, I can't do much about it because she told me if I didn't let her, she would hurt me or my parents. No details on this because I know she can do this and she has the means to do this.

I really love this woman but I love my 6 mths old more. There is not much I can do except cry and beg her to stay.

Any advice, I am very desperate, I can't really think properly.....

Thank you.

It sounds as if she has her mind set on the divorce and has threats against you if you don't let her go through wiht it. The only problem is you are the father of the child and you do have the right to see your child and make choices in the custody of the child. I understand that your love is strong for your estranged wife but sometimes things don't work out and from just the little bit that you wrote I don't think she had intentions of trying to make things work and found a quick out. You do have the right to put up a good fight also if she is going to make it difficult for you to see your child and you should look quickly into what your rights are. I am sorry for your heartbreak and I hope that things will go well for you.

Aren't there laws that would stop her from leaving the country with your child?I know of a couple who lived in the states and the wife wanted to leave and bring her child back to canada with her but she wasn't aloud to because the child had been born in america and she couldn't take the child out of the country without the father's agreement. Maybe you should look into this.
