The NYPD is looking for a 7-year-old girl who was taken by her mother during a custody dispute with the girl’s father.

Cops say they believe Ulrike Berger, 44, took her daughter Kaia to Germany in violation of a court order that prohibits her from leaving the country with the child.

Kaia was last seen on March 21 at 10 a.m. after her father dropped her off at Ulrike’s apartment at 78 Butler Street in Brooklyn, according to officials.

Police say the mother appears to have taken the girl to Germany the next day.

The NYPD is investigating the custody battle as a possible kidnapping, cops said Thursday.

Ulrike Berger, a German national, also goes by the name of Julie Berger, according to police sources.

Anyone with information in regards to Kaia’s whereabouts is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-577-TIPS.

The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers Website at WWW.NYPDCRIMESTOPPERS.COM or texting their tips to 274637(CRIMES) then enter TIP577.
