Reply to comment by Qyro in TIFU by texting my ex-wife by LaVieEnRoseLavelle

Well unless she's got permission to stay, live and work, most other countries will do the forcing back for you.

If the ex wife has dual nationality or close family abroad then it would be more of a worry, but OP said nothing to indicate that

My mother got a new partner abroad and moved out on the guise of a holiday to my dad (separated at this point) taking me with her, she stayed for months until she was in an accident and came back. Meanwhile my dad was powerless to do anything because I live with her

Lots of people with dual citizenship. Also lots of ways to stay abroad for a long time/indefenitely. Can go from place to place on temporary/visitor's VISAs. They might also have a "friend" in a certain country that can marry them, etc.

The threat of taking a child and leaving the country is a common one in divorce/domestic abuse situations.

In the US, the majority of illegal immigrants come here legally and out stay their visas.

Things that are also not too hard to obtain. People emigrate all the time.
