Yes, ****, this is a free service. We provide general legal information to help guide you. How can we assist you with your legal issue today?
My child was born in Arkansas in April of *. Her father go incarcerated 3 months after she was born and we split up, not ever married, but both signed birth certificate. My daughter and I moved to Washington, and was haven’t seen her father since, except one single day on her 6th birthday. He doesn’t see her, or call her except on her birthday. He doesn’t pay for child support or anything towards my child. First question can I take my daughter to Puerto Rico (US Territory,) without his consent? Second question is, what rights does he have to dictate anything we do, like getting her a passport to visit outside the US, when he’s not even around, but he himself isn’t allowed to leave the US because he’s on parole.
****, do you have any court orders or custody agreements in place regarding your child?
*. Generally, one parent can take a child to a different state without the other parent's consent unless there's a court order stating otherwise.
*. Passport issuance for minors requires both parents' consent. However, exceptions exist, such as showing that the other parent's consent isn't required.
