Hello, I am hoping someone can advise me on this particular situation.
I have sole custody of my children and we are planning to head as a family (myself, current husband and children) to Cuba for a week for a family members destination wedding. The holiday does not fall over access times as per the court order. I have all their required documents and their passports of course. Both myself and my ex had to sign for the passports though. This was the policy at the passport office even though I am a sole custodial parent.
My question is do I need him to fill out a consent for the kids to travel with me? I checked with the Foreign Affairs website and they have a sample consent letter etc but the instructions are very vauge about this. They say it is good to have but not a necesity? My problem is I do not think my ex will do this or he will make a huge issue just to be spitefull. I do plan on advising him of our upcoming holiday and will attempt to ask him for the consent though. If he gives it is another story though....
Has anyone gone on holidays without it? What happened? I do not want to do anything illegal or anything to fuel his fire, just want to go to a wedding and enjoy a nice trip with my family.
