I'll need to gather some key legal information based on your circumstances:

Which country are you currently residing in?
Laws regarding child custody, parental rights, and cross-border parental disputes vary widely by country.

In which country is the father of your child currently living?
Understanding the laws in both your country and the father’s country will be important for determining legal action.

Was there a legal custody agreement in place?
If you had a formal custody or visitation agreement, it may affect your ability to enforce your rights.

Has paternity been legally established?
Legal paternity recognition can influence custody and parental rights.

Once I have this information, I can help direct you to the applicable laws and next steps you could take, whether in terms of mediation, filing a claim in family court, or even taking action under international child abduction laws if relevant.
