The only recourse, then, is to try to make your case via the DS-5525 and explain why you cannot obtain the father's permission. 

 

Is he aware, BTW, that as a US citizen, his/your daughter must now use a US passport to enter or leave the US (until she is 16 and can apply for her own passport without parental signatures, at least)?  

She still has a Singapore passport so we are guessing she can leave the US with that, but can't reenter. Yes, we told him she needs a US passport to travel. He doesn't want her to be a US citizen. He wants her to only remain a Singapore citizen.

Well that makes this a very petty hill for him to die on then, considering she is ALREADY a U.S. Citizen...

Technically, she needs to also leave the US on a US passport -- although there usually is no immigrstion check on exit from the country.  (Guess he never wants her to be able to travel back to Singapore, then.)  Be sure to include this information on the DS-5525.

Not sure if it has changed recently, but Singaporeans under 18 can be dual citizens. When they turn 18, they have to give up other their  other citizenship to remain a Singapore citizen. The ex is being a dumb ###, but I am guessing he's hoping his daughter will do that when she turns 18.

The court document says the father has reasonable access in case he wants to visit the child in the US. Her father said he won't grant permission for her to get a US passport, so we are trying to find a way around needing his permission. 

Strange ,  as when a parent has visitation rights,  the child usually can not be taken out of the birth country /this is why a US federal court in a Florida case had to return a young boy to his father in Cuba /  case was 10 to 15 years ago and i only remember it hitting the major news channels with a big court case that followed
