my dad isn’t signing the travel consent form, and he doesn’t have any reasonable excuse
Hello **** ****, I understand your situation. In Texas, both parents' consent is generally required for international travel. If one parent is refusing without a valid reason, you may need to seek court intervention. Could you please tell me more about your situation? Are your parents divorced?
i want to go on this trip with my mom and her family. it’s a religious trip which is very important, my dad is aware of this but still refuses. but he went on international trips with his other kids and doesn’t allow us to go.
Hello **** ****,
In Texas, if a parent refuses to consent to a child's international travel, the other parent can:
- File a child custody modification suit
- Request court intervention for specific consent
However, it's important to consult a legal professional about this.
if we go to court about this, how much will it cost?
The cost of going to court can vary greatly depending on factors such as attorney fees, court costs, and other expenses. However, it's hard to provide an exact figure without more specific details. It would be best to consult with a legal professional for an accurate estimation.
is there any way that we could get this done easily without having to pay and go to court?
You might consider mediation as an alternative to court. It's often less expensive and can help resolve disputes. However, if your father refuses to cooperate, court intervention may be inevitable. It's best to consult with a legal professional for advice tailored to your situation.
is there any websites where I can talk to a lawyer for free or online chat for free?
