She cannot travel out without the written consent of the father. You need to contact a family lawyer quickly to advise you on the area of legal custody of the child.

En temas del derecho de menores, no es posible que, de forma unilateral, la madre pueda decidir sacar al niño del país sin consentimiento del padre. Dependiendo de la legislación del país donde se encuentre, existen varios requisitos para hacerlo. En el caso de que la madre solicite por vía judicial la autorización (siempre y cuando la legislación del país en el que están lo permita), o por otro lado pedir lo que se conoce como patria potestad del menor; si el juez concede esto podría tomar la decisión sin la autorización del padre.
