Permission to leave with child

[XMen1 0]

Looks like her ex-husband is going to be a problem, even though he has not seen his child in 5 years, nor paid child support. We're 90 days from the expiration of the K-1 (i.e. she has to leave Ukraine and come to the USA within 90 days or it's toast). What does one do if one cannot get signed paperwork to allow the child to leave the country (in this case Ukraine)? Thought about holding the unpaid child support over his head, not sure in Ukraine if it even matters. What if the K-1 expires prior to getting this worked out? No way is she leaving the country without her child. If there is no way to extend the timeline, then is this all down the toilet?

Does the child have a K2?

Child was included on the K-1 paperwork.

Can she head to court and get a quick and easy sole custody? With sole custody she doesn't need his permission.

Neither quick nor easy. She seems almost afraid of him, though she never said anything that implied he was abusive over the past couple of years.
