I can surely understand how alarming this could be but it really depends on the terms of your divorce and custody provision and if there is an "intent to return,"  If there is not "intent to return" then it could be kidnapping absent consent under the terms of your custody agreement.  Take the agreement and go and seek legal help. Good luck.
