This needs to go through the courts.

And I noticed that you said something along the lines of that your need your life started again and that your ex is already married and restarted his life....

This may be hard to understand (because I have a hard time understanding it) but there are a good number of women who leave their children behind while they immigrate and get settled, both for the safety and welfare of the child. Basically the child stays with the father, while the mother moves, gets married, and establishes a life in the US.

I personally couldn't do it, but plenty of women have.  Some people believe that by letting the kid stay with the other parental figure, it would be less impactful to the child when it comes to immigrating, if they came later in the process, once mom was already settled and everything was good in the US.

Exactly.   I am a divorced mom and my kids are grown and nearly grown, but I can tell you that no one will love your child the way you do.  Hugs and good luck with your choices.

Wouldn't the child miss out on grandparents, aunt's, uncle's, cousins, family friends, cultural experiences and more?

 

You might want to consider migrating to USA without your daughter since that's a voluntary choice. Every daughter deserves her father reguardless what the mother thinks of him. This should have been a thought before having your daughter.

You need permission from both legal parents to take a child out of the country. If you try to do it without his permission you’re in for a big fight. Like others have said it could be seen as kidnapping and you’d be in deep trouble if you did it. It doesn’t sound like he’s willing to let that go so you two need to come up with an arrangement because simply taking kid out won’t do.

I have two children and my ex husband has signed a statutory declaration regarding the children moving. I made sure stipulations were in place though I had the solicitor write in exactly when we’d be filing that I keep him up to date with each process and also (not for the first year) but every year after that I would bring the children back to the uk for a minimum of two weeks and if for some reason we couldn’t get back we would fly my ex husband over and he could stay with us for two weeks. I know your ex husband doesn’t seem to want them go but any decent father wouldn’t to be fair so you may want something drawn up that shows him you’re not just running away with them.

To be fair if that was a significant concern, no mother would ever immigrate to America with their kids

I feel for you, I really do.  And from his viewpoint, he may be thinking along the same lines---that he doesn't know this person, and he doesn't know if he can trust that person around his child---especially in a country far away from him, with limited physical access, and where he'll barely see her.

 

Your ex husband may also be aware of the fact that getting approved for a tourist visa in his country to come visit his daughter is slim.

 

You said earlier that you're certain you would win a court case for permission to take the child out of the country----so I'm not sure what's stopping you from doing that to solve your problem?

He is the father and as it looks the kid is not going anywhere without him.

 

And I think the father loves his child very much and doesn’t want another man raising his child. 

 

How about the other way around, put yourself in his shoes.

 

You “ YOURSELF” signing papers for the father to keep the child in his country. Could you do it?
