Re: the judge doesn't know!!!!!!
This is a complex area of the law. You should contact an attorney that has knowledge of family law and international law. Many more facts that you did not include would affect the answer. Such as did California courts have jurisdiction over the child, and how long has the child been in Brazil. Only by discussing all of the facts of your case can a course of action be developed.
Re: the judge doesn't know!!!!!!
The judge has no jurisdiction over a baby that lives in another country unless the baby was taken from this jurisdiction without permission and is being ordered to bring it back.
