Shortcut: I lost custody of my son in a foreign country

Shortcut: I lost custody of my son in a foreign country

This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed.

Some of you will remember Jodie Bilborough from her appearance on A Current Affair in 2019.

One of their reporters traveled to Jordan in the Middle East to meet Jodie, who just won custody of her son, Laith, through the Jordanian courts after his father, her ex-husband, Ismat, had prevented her from seeing him for four years. An allegation in which he denies.

The report left us on an optimistic note, although Jodie was still waiting to bring Laith home to live with her as his father had launched a legal appeal.

Jodie joins us on Australian True Crime to tell us what's happened since 2019. It's a long and winding tale that I don't think any of us could have predicted five years ago.

Australian True Crime LIVE is coming to Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne this July! It'll be full of special guests and Q+A's, and we can't wait to see you in person. You can find tickets by clicking this link.
