Annulment and Child Custody

[LynAndArt 2]

Hi,

My fiancee' is in the final stages of getting her annulment and has petitioned for sole custody of her two kids. Our question is:

If she is granted an annulment and sole custody, does she need the bio fathers permission to take the kids our of the

country permanently?

Is this stated in the family code anywhere? We have an attorney and will post the question to him to, but want an independent

(think 2nd opinion from someone who has been through this) answer.

Check the link in my signature, it may be helpful.

Sole Custody is different from the father's Parental Rights being terminated (in the US at least). If the court order stated that the father's parental rights are terminated then she will not need his approval otherwise I think she will.

I did not get permission from my ex-husband. The requirements for minors travelling abroad must have one parent travelling with them. I just showed my daughter's birth certificate at the immigration and then we were done.

Here are the guidelines:

My previous marriage was annulled and the custody of my 2 children was granted to me. I was not required by the embassy to present the father's permission to travel during the interview.

I secured a Solo Parent ID from the City Social Welfare Office, by filling up the required forms and the submission of the documents such as the court order and birth certificate of the children.

Under the present rules a travel clearance from DSWD is no longer required if the minor is travelling with either parent.

I have read the guide lines. They seem to more concerned with child trafficing, children traveling with someone other than a bio-parent, then they

are with children traveling with a parent.

hello Sir, i am also on the process of my annulment and for sure i will have the custody of my kid. that is my q also if my kid will need the permission of the father, if the US embassy will req. the permission of the father and as i research here the answer is no. (married; the kid was born inside the marriage but parents are annulled, and the custody was given to the mother).

Well, according to our attorney, if the mother is granted Sole Custody then she may take them out of the country without having to seek consent.
