Traveling With Child Guidelines

Summary

In Texas, while its not legally mandatory to have a notarized letter from the non-custodial parent when traveling with your child to Mexico, it is highly recommended to avoid potential issues at borders. If you have joint custody but no contact with the non-custodial parent for over nine months, you can prove this through phone records, affidavits, and statements from your childs school or doctor. If the non-custodial parent hasnt paid child support or visited the child, you can request a modification of the court order or contact the Child Support Division of the Attorney Generals Office.

In Texas, child support and visitation rights are separate issues. Do you want to know about travel restrictions related to visitation or how moving can affect child support?
if i need to have a notarized letter to be able to travel with my child to mexico
In Texas, if you're traveling alone with your child to Mexico:
- You should carry notarized consent from the other parent.
- This document should include travel dates, destinations, and contact information.
- It's not a law, but highly recommended to avoid issues at borders.
is it mandatory if hes traveling with mother that is me and I have his passport? and have no contact with dad over 9 months
In Texas, it's not legally mandatory to have a notarized letter from the other parent, but it is highly recommended to prevent any potential issues. If you have sole custody and can prove no contact with the father, it may not be necessary.
how can i prove i have no contact with Non custodial parent?
You can prove no contact with the non-custodial parent through:
- Phone records showing no calls or texts.
- No emails or social media exchanges.
- Affidavits from friends or family.
- Statements from your child's school or doctor.
Remember, this isn't legal advice, just general information.

In Texas, if a parent hasn't paid child support or visited their child, you can:
- Request a Modification of the Court Order.
- Ask for an enforcement action against the non-compliant parent.

This information is not, however, legal advice.
