Help My ex wife is trying to take my kid to China?
I need info on why such a separation is bad on children. I need professional information that is written in a book or journal. Maybe a psychiatry book… Another topic that would help is why an American child going to China for 3 years would be bad for their growth. Please no opinions I already know it sucks. I need this info to bring with me to court, my lawyer said the more articles I bring the better.

Honestly I don’t see how a study such as the one you mentioned could work in your favor, because nowadays there are studies that support pretty much any view point a person could have. What you should really be looking for is the actual legality of the matter. It might be illegal for a parent to take their children out of the country without the permission of the other parent, so try getting your lawyer to look up information about that.
Also, I’m not sure if this applies to all countries, but when I traveled from the US to Canada, I saw them detained this woman who was traveling with her two young children because she didn’t have any proof that her husband had given permission for her to take the children into Canada. Luckily her husband was there waiting at the airport to pick them up so all the officials had to do was find and ask him. You should definitely check to see if this kind of law applies to China. Also, I’m pretty sure both parents must give permission in order for a minor to acquire a passport, so if your child hasn’t already got one then you should be safe.

So go do some research why are you wasting time on here?

You don’t need a book or journal. You need a better attorney. Find one that specializes in family law.
You don’t say why China for 3 years. If it is for her job, you may not get a lot of support, but you could force her to pay for the kids to come back to the U.S. for visitation which you are entitled to.
Get a better attorney.

Mama Luna is right, and to add to that I think it’s quite comical for you to be on Y/A and say "Please no opinions.

Your lawyer SHOULD have one or more contacts who are Psychologists who specialize in custody and separation. If not, suggest you conduct a web search using some of the following search terms…"psychologist, divorce, custody, therapy, parenting, assessment, separation"
Try to locate one who has experience in court testimony.
Also - as an up front warning - this will be expensive. You’ll have the psychological evaluation of your child/children, sessions for both you and your (soon to be ex) spouse, review of the current separation agreement and any custody arrangements made by the court, and possibly per diem and hourly charges for testifying.
In closing, I wish you the best with your case.

When a parent has the desire to travel to another country with your child..you have the right to take that parent into family court and voice your concerns in front of a judge..consult a lawyer for all your legal rights as a parent and let you voice be heard..

Sorry i agree with MamaLuna…you need a New Attorney. any attorney that tell YOU to do the research is a BAD one. Why is he your attorney if hes not doing the work necessary to help you? what are you paying him to do then?

If the court ruled the kid to be with the mother, then I guess there’s nothing you could do about it.
She can also help the kid to give up American citizenship and join Chinese citizenship. Nothing illegal here.
