i have 3 children with 2 different fathers.
i have residency order and parental resposibility over my 2 youngest children.
but i have nothing on my eldest. his father is not on the birth certificate.

i have sent out consent letters (through my solicitor) to both fathers asking permission to take the children out of the jurisdiction to live. both have agreed to sign and send back.

do i need to prove i have residency/custody over all of my children?? or will the letters of consent be enough??

thankyou for your time

notarized proof of permission is fairly strong evidence... what else are you thinking of?

If his father is not listed on the birth certificate I would think not but then I'm in the US. I dont know how your laws work over there. You say you have 3 children from 2 different fathers yet you have already gotten permission from those two fathers for the other two children. Do you not know which is the father for the child in question? Or is it that he does not acknowledge that third child?

I was just going to type what you said.

Same brainwave this morning?

OMG, MBB & LisaD on the same wave lenght.... Everyone hide and take cover!!!!

I took it as 2 of the children have the same father. I would think that if you have signed letters from the fathers allowing change of residency that would be pretty solid.

The moon must be aligned with URanus fwaguy.

Thats how I took it too...so if she has 3 kids, 2 fathers and two letters - it should be easy enough to get the third letter unless the father for some reason doesnt acknowledge that child which is why he's not on the birth cert. (Someone call Jerry Springer..we need a DNA test)

Better to have it aligned than one's head stuck up it.....

I like to know myself inside and out.

That's Maury's speciality, lol

sorry obviously didnt explain thorough enough!!
1 child with 1 father and 2 children with the 2nd father.

thanks for the replys, my question is would i need the custody proved or would the letters of consent be enough??

HAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!

Even with custody proved, I think consent is still required.... If you have consent you have what you need......

Research the posts of the member 'mags' for a similar situation (as far as custody and parental permission - not the number of children).
