Child Custody

[uMo Mas 2]

We have received an email from the embassy to schedule for an interview. We are also required to bring relevant documents. One of it is the court decree to show that I am the sole custody of my daughter.

We have the court decree indicates that I am the custodian of my daughter and my ex husband is given the right to visit without overnight.

Question is, would that be suffice enough for the embassy to accept?

 

Thanks in advance.

I'm unfamiliar with their laws, but sometimes you still need the other parents permission.

Do you have permission from the Father?

I would ask the question in your regional forum above for better response.

You may need consent from the father. And this something you should find out asap. Not only that but if the father is willing. We have seen cases here on VJ where the other parent did not give permission and the child either had to be left behind or the beneficiary had to postpone/cancel their immigration.

Hi all,

 

Thanks for advise. But unfortunately the father is nowhere to be found. He never attended the court case until the court decided to give such order. 

I will double check on this again. 

Thanks a lot guys.

I had my interview in frankfurt Germany. I was asked of proof of custody . I gave them the court decision that grants me full custody of my child.  And the consular officer said '' PERFECT ". My question is why would you need permission from your kids father when you have full custody? Except you have joint custody. ??. And also my kids father was no way to be found, he was never in court when the decision was mad. So don't worry . It's all about you.

Hi blondie,

The court decree that i obtained only stated that i am the custodian for my daughter. There is no specific "sole custodian" mentioned in there.

That kinda make me a lil worried.

However, it also didnt mentioned that my ex get the joint custody. Only visitation right. He in fact never attended any trial.

 

Anyway, have seek clarification from other legal person and the sentence is define as i have full custody of my daughter. Yes. Now i feel relief.

Yasss. Go girl. You will be fine.  I was mentally tormented when I feel like I take care of my child alone,no father figure or any support and yet he has to be a part of the decision. But I went to a lawyer and the rest was history. A piece of cake. He didn't even show up. Lollll????? best feeling ever. Good luck dear.
