Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone can help advise here as my sister is currently in real mess. She is in the process of splitting up with her husband and he has taken it very badly and told her that he does not intend to let her or the children leave Bahrain (they are all British citizens and non-Muslims living and working there).
Bearing in mind that they are not legally separated or divorced (yet) does anyone have an idea how long it takes for a father to put in place a travel ban to prevent her or the children leaving? If he goes ahead with his threat, they are worried that they will all be stuck in Bahrain and subject to Bahraini law (including for the divorce itself). This would allow him to win custody and essentially retain the kids in Bahrain until they are adults. My sister naturally wants to get the hell out of there and return to the UK.
Any advice will be a huge help!!!
Thanks
