My wife, or soon to be ex, is vacationing in Italy and visiting her family and now wants to separate and move to Italy with our son. My son is 6 years old and goes to school here in the US where we live. Can my wife take my son to Italy, especially if I fight to have joint custody. I have been an amazing father and have a good solid relationship with my son, and come from a solid family background. This is stressing me out, I could not bare not to have my son close to me and watch him grow up...

You need to file papers here right away if she is starting with this game. File for your divorce if that is where it is going and for custody of the child. The courts will force the child back but you have to be diligent. Did you give your permission for the child to leave the country ?
