Your moroccan wife left with your child and does not want to return

I am so sorry about what happened you. It is a delicate situation that is involving your dear child.
My former husband, from Lebanon, took our child, without me knowing, some thirty years ago. The kidnapping happened few years after our divorce.

They travelled the world and I was unable to follow them but I knew that if the girl, of whom I had custody, would return to me, she would end up in poverty. This is one aspect of the situation.

The other aspect of the situation is that our girl seemed to play the games of her father, so that made it very difficult for me to attempt to get her back. She attended boarding school in Switzerland, travelled to lots of countries.

Thirty years went by, she does not seek me and has no interest in me. She sides her father regardless the number of years he was uninterested because he was too busy to care for her.

I know for sure that embassies do not get involved in domestic problems, at least not France, so I learned to live without my child.

I wish that you find remedy to your situation. It would involve a good lawyer with a good heart.

I wish you the best, and am sorry for what you go through.
