K1/K2 notarized letter for minor

[Lizzie2809 0]

I'm not sure if this topic has been discussed elsewhere on the forum, I'm new here and my fiancé and I are about to begin the K! process. My 11 year old is set to come with us but i do have joint custody of her with care and control to me. Even with that I believe I need to get a notarized letter from her father stating that he gives permission and has no objections to her moving to the US with me. Has any one else here had to go through this step/process? I have been trying to see if there are any templates or guidelines for said letter but I can't seem to find any.

Any help is appreciated.

There is a lot to be said getting a Family Lawyer involved, I have no idea what would work legally in your Country, now I could guess, but…

 

I have certainly seen cases where the other parent has changed their mind.

I had sole custody and still needed the letter. Canada is weird like that. 

I don't remember it word for word anymore but basically you need the letter to say the Child's full name and Father's full name, giving Mother's full name permission to move the child's name permanently to the US. 

 

Now like Boiler mentioned this letter is not full proof. My lawyer did not trust my ex with all his BS so once he signed the letter of consent my lawyer took it to the judge and had him make it a court order. 

 

Check your country's laws with a quick consult with a lawyer.
