There's no specific link, per se... you can read the Registrar Agreements with ICANN, but I can give you the gist.
The domain belongs to the registrant (and is controllable by whomever they list as Administrative Contact). Period. Only they can authorize changes to the domain contact information. ICANN makes no distinction between "paid", or "unpaid" or "charge back" or "fraud". Part of the agreements state you must acquire payment prior to creating the domain (i.e. pre-paid model, as we employ). Now, this isn't much help to you guys (we realize that). You can work with Compliance to place the domain name on HOLD, which will make the domain not work and possibly get the woman to contact you. It will also prevent transfers so she can't run away to someone else. If there's a dispute over ownership, we can assist (but, ideally - with any transaction - it's something you should sort out yourself).
