Can My Ex Take My Child Out of the Country?
It's natural to worry about the well-being and safety of your child, especially if your former partner is looking to take them outside of the country. In order to protect your child's best interests, it's important to know the laws and your rights when it comes to international travel.
Stop Your Ex from Taking Your Child Abroad
If you're looking to stop your ex from traveling abroad with your child, there are a few steps you can take.
- Gather any paperwork that you may have that relates to your child's parentage, such as birth certificates, adoption papers, court orders, etc.
- Depending on the country, some nations may require a letter of permission from both parents if it is not explicitly stated in court orders.
- If possible, get the letter of permission from a lawyer or court in writing.
- Whenever possible, attempt to come to an amicable agreement with your ex. If they are unwilling to make an agreement or abide by court orders, you may need to contact the authorities.
- If you are unable to reach an agreement, contact your local Child Protective Services or police department. They may be able to provide assistance in preventing your child from leaving the country.
