Hi, everyone
I have a problem that I need some advice on. My ex wife is planning to send my 14 year old daughter to Japan for two months on a modeling contract. I have received no information on any particulars of this trip and I have only been provided with a "fill in the blanks" type contract that I think is to vague, This contract doesn't list any rights for my daughter while she is there. No where does it say she can refuse work that makes her uncomfortable or how many hours a day she must work or if she even gets a lunch break. Nothing in the contract protects her in any way. It doesn't even say how much she'll make or even if she'll get any work at all while she's there. I've been given no info on where she'll be staying or phone number nor a contact name to call incase anything should happen.
The way it works is that many models get on a bus in the morning and brought to places in japan for photo shoots. At the time they pick one model to do the shoot and the remaining models go to the next place where again they chose one. There is a possibility that she won't be chosen for any shoots.
From what I'm told there are many modeling agencies in the us that have shown interest in her and I have no problem with her going anywhere in the USA or Canada but Japan is too far away for a 14 year old without a parent.
My ex wife is planning on sending her now 27 year old mouthy alcoholic roomate to accompany my daughter as a chaperone on this trip. I don't agree with this choice either and no where in the contract does it say the chaperone accompanies the child on the photo shoots.
I've informed my ex wife that I will not give consent to my daughter taking this trip with the limited information I've received about it to date. Our divorce order states that our children shall not be removed from the province of Ontario without the other parent's consent. I now understand that they are still proceeding with the plans for this trip even though I have not given my consent.
I was just wondering if any of you think I'm unreasonable for not allowing this trip and also wondering what to do if she in fact leaves without my permission.
Her Mother ( ex-wife ) is a carefree anything goes mom who never says no. My eleven year old daughter is alowed anywhere and everywhere at 11 oclock at night unsupervised. Ex allows 15 & 16 year old boys in bedroom with my then 13 yaer old daughter....... I guess you get the idea. I certainly don't trust her parenting skills or judgment on anything. In my opinion my daughter's being sent out to the wolves without any protection. Am I wrong ?
I would really appreciate everyone's opinion on this and thanks to all for reading.
