Yes, but the ability to should be clearly stated to avoid problems. Frequently a custodial parent, to create problems, knowing the other parent plans a trip during an extended visitation, will file a last minute injunction claiming they are moving away.
Yes.
no, only if you are going out of the country. I just traveled out of state with my 2 children and I have sole physical custody, it was no problem.
No, as both signatures are required on the passport.
No, not if your mother has sole physical custody. If there is a joint custody arrangement, you'd still need the cooperation of both parents to make it happen.
no,unless the custody agreement states you cant move without notifying the court
Sole physical AND sole legal custody? If so, most likely as long as the visitation does not interfere with the non-custodial parent's court ordered visitation. If it does, then the parent planning such a vacation must secure permission from the other parent, or permission from the court beforehand.
You cannot have sole custody without physical custody. If your ex has physical custody, you are the non-custodial parent.
The short answer is no. Not with any North American joint custody agreement in force, unless specific allowances have been written into the court order. If you can't get permission from the other custodian, you will have to petition the court for permission.
ask a lawyer
Physical custody means that a person (typically the parent) has the right to have the child living with them. This could be sole physical custody, or even joint physical custody in which the parents share custody of their child.
Not unless they obtain permission from the court that issued the original custodial order.
It depends on the law where you live and your custody order. If the father has sole legal custody (as opposed to physical custody) he would be able to make that decision without input from the mother. If legal custody is joint or the mother has sole legal custody, no he could not.
