Taking Jacob out the country

[Becky]

Me again

I have booked flights to go to Boston in April for almost 2 weeks to see my dad, Can Luke do anything to stop me taking Jacob out there or will US imigration ask to see anything to prove I have permission to leave the UK with him seeing as he has Lukes surname.

I would call ahead and ask, but as long as you're bringing him back I can't see it being an issue.

Tim said he would need to get a court injunction to stop you and no one would grant it hunny

not really about the thread, but you no you say no 1 would grant it,
i was told by the registry office that if i put lillys dad on the birth certificate, and we spilt, and i decided to leave to country, he had same rites to her as me, thats fair i think, but a court would stop me leaving the country for good, till lilly was 18 is that not true then would a court not grant it not like i need to no or anything just wondering, or do you mean a court wouldnt grant it if its only a holiday

Even though Dan's ex has sole custody of their son, whenever they go on holiday to a different country, his ex has us do a letter up stating that it is ok for the boy to go and come back on such dates.

You know, when I did Lola's passport both mine and her dad's signature was needed for them to issue her one.
And yeah, I think his permission is required, he can technically stop you from going...

Hw about a visa? You need one for both of you and his dad needs to sign it?

Sorry hun, I meant for a holiday. Both parents would have to go to court and the one who didn't want the baby to be taken on holiday would have to have a solid case to why - if it was just because he was being an idiot then chances are no one would grant his request.

Obviously every case is different but the few cases that OH is aware of, the parent has been allowed to take the baby on holiday with no problem but of course every case is different.

I also have lots of friends (and SIL) who take their little ones away as OH cant get time off work or they are visiting family etc and none of them have ever had trouble so hope it will be fine for you too hun xxx

i took lilly to salou in spain last september her dad, signed her pass post as did i , then i took her away with my parents, and nobody asked any questions about why or where dada was, i am still with dad, so he was ok with the hol, and me and lilly are going to a wedding in cyrus in june, and dad's not going, and i dont think it will be a prob for me. xxx

Your best to maybe get a letter of permission. I'd call and ask. I took Kyle out the country without his dad and nothing was said or needed, but they did ask me a few questions.

 

[Lucy&Pard]

No he cant. He would need an injunction against you and anyway I dont think he has custody or joint custody in any event. My family law is not up to date so maybe give CAB a quick call but no loco parentis rests with you!

I think if you are traveling to the US you would be wise to get a letter from your ex stating he knows you are taking the baby out of the country. Things may have changed since I was little but we used to go on holiday to the US all the time without traveling with my dad as we met him there - my mum was asked loads of questions by immigration and they asked to see a signed letter stating he had given his permission for us to travel without him.

It may not be the same now but I'd hate for you to get over there and find out this was the case.
