ex husband's permit for kids to travel

[danver 15]

Hello All Vj members,

Just wanna ask to anyone who have the idea about my question? Any inputs would be appreciated.

My question is, If my husband(USC) files the petition for my 3 minor kids as the step parent, do i still need the kids'father's permission to travel abroad?

The father of my kids never supported the kids,,not even a single penny..were not legally married and no contact ever since(about 10 yrs now) so the kids are considered illigitemate.

If the kids will travel abroad do i still need to ask the permission of the father? What if he will not give permission?can the kids travel? all my kids are in my custody.

Pls help me and thank you so very much in advance.

Since you were not married to your children's father ,you have sole custody and parental authority of your children and their father need not consent for you to bring them here, thats our Philippine law. However, I did read a post here by another Filipina VJr that because the father of her child signed/acknowledged the same by affixing his signature on the birth certificate although they were not married, the CO who interviewed her asked for the father's consent for the child to travel.

You might want to check the birth certificates of your children if their father signed the same.If he signed, I suggest that you make a notarized affidavit stating that you have not seen or heard from him for years now and also maybe an Affidavit of Two Disinterested Person stating the same and present them during the interview IN CASE the CO will ask.

Goodluck

Thanks mga sis,

You think i still need his permission? The fathers name appeared in my kids birth certificate but he never signed it as the father. Medyo ginawa namin is pinalabas namin kasal kami (kunwari using under the table )coz he wanted the kids to bring his name but legally we were never married that is why i was approved of my K1.

But i do appreciate your reply..thanks ulit .

I did have a very similar situation like you.As long as he didn't sign anything on your kids birth certificate,i dont see any problem there.My husband filed K4 for my 2 children,applied their I-130 petition each one of them.Although the CO asked me why my son has his bio father's lastname and my daughter using mine, i gave her my honest answere about why.As long as you weren't married to him,no sign or anything on the kids bc's-you guy are all good to go.Goodluck
