Is the shared custody arrangement court ordered? If not, it may not be kidnapping. But call the Boston resource someone mentioned for relocation assistance. You may be able to stay in the UK if you are homeless, have no job, would be living in your car in the winter with a child. I don't know, but you should find out and I am a little surprised you don't seem interested to do that. Living with a kid in a car in winter is not some kind of a joke.

Here, call these people to check if there is a custody issue if you stay in the UK. They will know, because of the kind of work they do, this question has to come up a lot - shared custody issues

Also curious if it’s court ordered. OP mentioned elsewhere that they have a notarized agreement, but I work somewhere that causes me to deal with probate courts and their court orders every day and a notarized agreement might as well not exist for our purposes. If a judge didn’t sign it it’s generally of no legal value.

Edit: I would advise OP consult with Greater Boston Legal Services either way. That’s where we refer people for legal advice we’re either not qualified or completely comfortable giving.
