I will aim to keep this brief. Custody/access order (from 2009) says I shall inform father of any travel, get notarized letter etc.
S15 has not seen or heard from "Dad" in a year. Dad cut off all contact (I have the venomous emails and text msgs, both to me and to S15).
The ex and I do not speak and haven't for 6 years. Have only seen him when we were in Court. Prior to a year ago, father saw son every 2nd wknd but was canceling a lot as well. Son canceled at times, too.
Do I really have to get his "permission/consent" to travel with my son ie: to the States, for a week? Ideally I'd like to get this clause struck, but given they don't see one another (and it's not looking like they will any time soon) - can I just apply for renewal of S15's passport myself and travel w/him, without being harassed by Customs? Unfortunately, son's surname is not the same as mine.
Thanks for any thoughts/advice.
