Cruise lines cannot enforce legal guardianship changes; they may require consent forms for minors traveling without parents. If a child is detained due to lack of documentation, it suggests issues with guardianship paperwork. Consulting a family law attorney can help address custody and travel consent concerns.

If I were to book a cruise for my family. On the day of the cruise, I wasn’t allowed to board but my kids were. One *, the other is *. My gf (not their mother) chose to get off with me but they made her sign the kids over to my mother.
In your hypothetical situation, here's some general legal information:
- Parental Rights: As a parent, you have rights to make decisions regarding your children's care, unless a court order states otherwise.
- Temporary Guardianship: Your girlfriend signing the kids over to your mother may imply a temporary guardianship arrangement.
- Legal Advice: It might be beneficial to consult a family law attorney to understand your rights and obligations in such situations.
Do you have more specific questions about this scenario?
Can the cruise line make my girlfriend sign temporary rights to my mother when she doesn’t have rights over my kids? And then when they came back from the 7 day cruise, they wouldn’t let my 8 year old off the boat because they didn’t know where his parents were?
In your hypothetical situation:
