DS and I are booked to travel over March break. I've always requested his dad sign the travel consent form (with all the details) for any trip we've taken out of Canada. He always finds a way to make an issue and then lawyers get involved. Every. Single. Time.
And here we go again. I sent the form over with all the details and asked him to sign and return asap. He refuses. The reason this time - "he doesn't need my consent because he's over 16. I don't need to sign a letter because he doesn't need my consent." Of course the gov. of Canada website says differently. It states that a "child" needs consent and the travel consent letter is one version that is suggested. A "child" is under 18 or 19 depending on the province.

Stbx still refuses. Says he's right and I'm wrong.
6 weeks until march break - do I need to get back to court to deal with this? Is there enough time?
DS tried talking to him and was told "I'm not withholding consent. you just don't need a letter." So he refused to do it for him too.
