Custody agreement

[rkshokz 28]

Have you guys any experience with a custody agreement and cr1?

 

My wife has a stepson and I've petition them both on the cr1. We're at the nvc stage and it hit me that I should have a document from the stepsons father that he is OK with his son immigrating to the US. 

 

I know the stepsons father is OK with his son immigrating to the US but do I need a form saying he is giving up full custody of his child to his mom? I think he will agree to signing a form that he consents his son immigrates to the us, but custody might be a problem. We're not pushing for him to give up custody.

 

They currently share custody but the stepson and father doesn't have much of a relationship. Visits a few times a month and provides child support. The father remarried and has another family of his own. 

 

Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks

Yes you should have a notarized letter stating the father is okay with the son moving to the USA at the interview.  Custody doesnt change without court intervention.

OK thanks, so at the minimum have a letter notarized that the father is OK with son immigrating with the mom to the US.

 

Country is Taiwan if it makes a difference. Thanks
