You need to contact the child protective services in the county where she lives and then petition the court in the county for guardianship. That will hinge upon the cps cooperating with you and having the mother's parental rights either temporarily or permanently removed or terminated until she can go through treatment and get her act together. This will not be easy but the cps should know what is going on and then help you to gain at least temporary custody/guardianship.

I don't have any legal background but I think you can try calling the local authorities over there and ask to speak with child protective services. You and your wife mostly likely have to fly over there and have a court case.

You might also look into having her become an "emancipated minor" which means she would legally be an adult and could move wherever she wants.
