If you are * and not a US citizen, leaving the United States typically requires:
- A valid passport from your home country.
- Possibly a visa or entry permit for your destination country.
- Parental or guardian consent, depending on the airline and destination country's regulations.
Do you have any specific countries in mind you're planning to travel to?
Is this parent consent necessary, if airline allows people to travel alone from *?
The necessity of parental consent depends on the airline's policy and the destination country's regulations. Even if the airline permits travel alone at *, some countries may still require parental consent for minors traveling internationally.
To provide more specific guidance, which country are you planning to travel to?
To Poland, using LOT airline
In Poland, individuals under * are considered minors, and while LOT airlines may allow *-year-olds to travel alone, Poland requires parental consent for minors entering the country.
- Ensure you have a valid passport.

Let's move to the second question. Am i able to leave United States if there's criminal process, where my father involved? Officially, i'm not in it, cause i'm a minor.
You should be able to leave the United States if you are not directly involved in the criminal process. However, it's important to consider:
- Valid passport and visa requirements.
- Potential restrictions or conditions placed by authorities due to the ongoing process involving your father.
Have you checked if there are any specific travel restrictions placed on your family due to the case?
No, i haven't, so the case about my relations with an adult person and there's criminal process, where my father represents my side. In this case, would it be a problem?
It could present a problem if there are any legal restrictions or conditions related to your case that might affect your ability to travel. I recommend checking with your father's attorney to ensure there are no specific travel restrictions imposed on you or your family due to the criminal process.
Would you like more details on how to check for potential restrictions?
Yes, how can i find it out without my father?
You can find out about potential travel restrictions without involving your father by:
*. Contacting your father's attorney directly and explaining your situation.
*. Checking court documents related to the case for any mention of specific restrictions on family members.
*. Consulting a legal aid organization or attorney who can review the case specifics on your behalf.
