Hi all,
Planning holiday abroad for myself and DS next year.
Myself and XP were never married, though XP is named on the birth certificate. XP does not have Parental Responsibility as DS born before law change and has never applied for it. DS has same surname as me, not his fathers. DS also has his own passport (in the process of renewal). There is no residence order in place and XP, though a British citizen, now resides in Asia and relationship between DS and XP has broken down since he emigrated.
My understanding is that legally I do not need a letter of permission from XP to take son out of the country, however, I've read a few articles that state it would be wise to have such documentation and that some countries now insist on it before allowing entry, irrespective of the above facts.
Could someone advise what I should do here? It seems I don't legally need a permission letter, but it would be best if I did. Have I got that right?
Many thanks.
