What can be done if a parent who does not have sole custody takes a child out of the country without permission?

Contact a lawyer to find out your options. Technically this shouldn't have happened in the first place, since the law requires BOTH parents sign before a child can be issued a passport.
The good news is that it should be pretty easy to get a court to modify the custody agreement if this happens.
The bad news is that it's difficult to get a child back out of some countries if even one parent wants the child to stay.

Can your friend watch your child without the non custodial parent's permission?
No, the non custodial parent cannot give permission to have a friend look after their child and non custodial means you have no custody rights so the permission should be granted by the parent that has custodial rights.AnswerIf you are the parent with legal custody you do not need the non-custodial parent's permission to allow your friend to watch your child. The parent who has legal custody has both the right and the authority to make that decision.

Can a minor leave one parent to live with the other parent if the courts have not awarded custody to this parent?
The parent without a custody order? If so, no, not without a court order to the contrary. If no custody order is in place, it depends on prevailing state law (or country if outside the USA) who has presumed custody, if joint custody is assumed in the absence of a court order, or other such specifications and based on the same, whether the custodial parent's permission, both parents' permissions and/or order of the court is required. At any rate, a minor may not make such a decision of their own volition....not in the United States anyway.
