Formalities : Leaving Morocco with a baby

Best thing to do is to keep your child far from Morocco. Since he has threatened to keep the child in Morocco whenever you bring her over then better be carefull. Since you guys are not in good terms anymore with each other  better stay way yourself from Morocco until the future will be crystal clear for both of you. If this guy has some strong friends in politics and courts you will be in trouble. In Morocco ,India ,Egypt and all gulf countries the corruption is discusting. .everything is who you know and how much you can pay.

I fully agree. Keep the child away. It is much better to be safe than sorry. If the father wants to see the child. He should go to the UK where the child is safer from abduction. But the mother should get an estrangement custody  order in the UK before he does show up on her doorstep. It will help her keep her if he tries file for divorce.

As for the mother, it is her choice if she wants to go to Morocco not, but the question is, why does she want to continue to go if her husband is threatening her and their child?

Morocco is a lovely place untill you get into a legal issue or have to deal with the government in any way. All these civil servants working for the government are poorly paid and yet they rearly leave their jobs. Infact they will fight to keep it. It doesn't take a genious to figure out why either.  I am not saying all are corrupt,  but even the best of them had strings pulled or paid big bribes to jet that job . Many of them live in big houses, were fine clothes,  and drive expensive cars. Clearly they didn't aquire any of it on their salary. There is a push to clean up the government,  but there doesn't appear to be easy access to anyone to make a complaint to when you do find someone shaking you down.

Quite often, what is legally your right and what happens in reality are not the same.

That is what I was trying to say in my previos post.
The father can to stop her from leaving with the child, even if the child was not born in Morocco because Morocco recognizes the child to be a Moroccan born to a Moroccan National. It may not stand up in court for him to have custody, but it could take years to resolve. She may have a great deal of trouble getting her child back to the UK if that happens.

She either needs to plan to return to Morocco, file for residency, and reconcile with the father (and never try to leave) or she should NEVER return and file for an estrangement to her marriage.

I think if the child has a foreign passport might not be stopped.

Hello Marklasalle2022,

Hi

I am british citizen and my son was born in the UK and his mum is from North African country!

She had her spouse visa through me, unfortunately after few months things comes up that this lady is after residential here in the UK more than just join her husband and son .

My son registered on the family book znd also get british passport.

She took my son to North Africa for holiday and from there decided not to return the son to the UK.

What am I supposed to do ? Is there anyway I can get my son back to the UK

Hello Abslloyds,

Did she take him to Morocco ? If yes, you should contact the UK embassy in Morocco and get a lawyer.

I hope members will be able to shed the light on this situation.

All the best
