Thank you! I will seek a lawyer for advice.

Yes, I do that every year when we go visit my family in the states. He puts the dates on the letter, which protects him, which I am agreeable to. But our situation will change next year as me and my daughter want to move back permanently to the states. He has said it is ok and that we can go. So, I'm just trying to find out if anyone knows of specific documentation or legal actions that I have to take in order to go safely. Currently we are on very amical terms and as long as that stay that way, I see no problems. I'm just trying to plan for any scenario and want to make sure that I am covered.

Yes, she has dual citizenship

Permission to take her outside of the country. If my husband is agreeable is it just a typed letter that we can have notarized or do we have to get lawyers involved / Jugendamt? We have settled our separation between us both to include child support without documenting anything official.

Hi everyone, I have a question and I'm hoping someone can help me answer it. I am an American wife, and I am married to my German husband. We are legally separated for one year now, but do not have no plans to divorce. It has been very amicable. So, we have a daughter that is 12 yrs old. Both me and my daughter want to move back to the US next year when she turns 13. The biggest reason is she wants to experience her 'other half'. My husband has said we can move as he knows his daughter really wants this experience. Ok, my question, is what is required document(s) wise for this to happen. I know we both have 50/50 custody, so I know if he says no, then we either go the legal route (which we both DO NOT want to do) or wait until she is 18.. She lives with me currently most of the time. Hoping someone has been in this situation and can help. Thank you, S
