Hi

I am taking my daughter abroad for a holiday, I have been told that I need to get her mums written permission to take her out of the country but she is refusing to write this or even sign a letter that I have written on her behalf as she thinks this is not the case.

if this is the case is there a link to a website which I can send to my ex proving that a letter needs to be written ?, also does she need my permission to take my daughter out of the country for a holiday ?.

Thanks

Hi There,

You are right you do need permision from your childs mother to take your child abroad and your ex would need your permision too.

I'm not 100% if the permision needs to be written but I can understand why you would want it to be so there was no come back or issues.

Do you have any text or emails where your ex has said she won't sign but that it is ok to take your duaghter away? as in my mind that would be enough.

I have texts where she said it's fine to take my daughter away etc and also a text saying there is no need to have it in writing. I just don't want to have any issues when arriving or leaving the country.

Also, I cannot understand why she cannot just sign a letter I have typed up for her, it will take 2 seconds !!!

Thanks

Dan

This is he Warning thats at the bottom of every court order i've been awarded.....hope it explains things.

If i'm reading this correct then I think if she is the resident parent and wants to take your child on holiday then she can up to a month without your permission.....However i interpret it that if you want to do the same then you need to get her to write to saying she approves it and copy to the courts.

Hi

Since our split I have been lucky and not dragged through the courts as she seems amicable. After another round of texting she has stated I can take her away but she will not sign anything. I have kept the text so hopefully this will be ok.

I have paid my deposit but I have a gut feeling she will not let me have our daughters passport for a few reasons. Firstly, because I forgot to ask if a certain two weeks was ok before I booked, secondly as we are going Orlando (I have sacrificed all luxuries I have for over a year to save for this) she is jealous and questions constantly how I can afford it after paying bills and maintenance etc as she cannot afford it even though she is buying a bigger house, spent £5k on a 25 year old VW Beetle and has 3 weeks in the sun in the summer.

What are my options if she will not give me my daughters passport ?

Thanks

One very worried dad

Ultimately, you could apply to the court for a specific issue order, but that could be too late unless you can sort it out in plenty of time. I would ask for the passport very early and see what she says - say you need it for Visas, or the airline or something like that and see what she says.
