Foreign Husband Allegedly Abandons Wife, Baby; Mother Seeks Help

Source: OT-Team(G)，

  A Chinese mother recently took to social media to announce her plans to sue her foreign husband for divorce and child support.

She stated that after sending her and their child back to China, her husband refused to allow them to return to Country X. She also claimed that he has cut off communication, blocked her calls and messages, and only sent a total of 2,000 yuan for child support over three months.

The mother explained that their child was born in City X, holds a Country X passport, and she herself has a three-year residence permit. However, she only stayed in Country X for five months and did not learn the local language due to time constraints while taking care of the baby. Now, as she prepares to return to Country X for legal proceedings, she is seeking temporary accommodation near City X, as she finds local hotels and rental costs prohibitively expensive.

Her lawyer advised her to bring the child along rather than leaving them in China, stating that although the situation might be difficult at first, things would improve over time.

Background of the Case

In a follow-up post, the mother provided more details about her marriage and the events leading up to her current situation. She revealed that she and her husband had legally married before the child was born in Country X, which granted her a residence permit. She also emphasized that her husband had initially wanted the baby and had even discussed having a second child.

She recalled that during her pregnancy, her husband was excited about their child's arrival. They communicated well in English, though he often urged her to learn the local language. She initially resisted, as she preferred to focus on work before marriage. After moving to Country X, she attempted to learn some basic pronunciation and vocabulary, but her husband's changed attitude made it difficult for her to stay motivated.

The mother mentioned that she had tried to find jobs that she believed she could do, but her husband dismissed them as unsuitable. He frequently assured her that she wouldn't need to spend a penny and that he would cover all expenses. However, without any family support to help care for the baby, she found it nearly impossible to balance learning the language and seeking employment.

Before she moved to Country X, her husband repeatedly told her that as long as she stayed slim and didn't "obsess over buying Gucci" (which she stated she never did), their relationship would be fine. He also claimed that she wouldn't have to do anything at home. However, once she arrived in City X, his behavior changed dramatically—he became cold and distant, refused to answer her calls or video chats, and eventually cut off communication entirely. When she asked about returning to Country X with the child, he neither confirmed nor arranged their return.

Public Reactions and Advice

Some netizens advised her to seek help from the Country X embassy in China, as they have departments that handle missing family members and unpaid child support cases. Others warned that navigating the legal process without language skills could be challenging and might even risk her losing custody.

The mother saw these suggestions but did not seem entirely convinced. Discussions online continue, and the case is still developing.

As of now, the case is still developing, and further updates are expected. Posts referring to the countries and cities involved have been anonymized.
