Hi everyone,
Has anyone faced a situation where a parental consent had to be submitted for the child from the previous marriage, but the parent refused to give it? How was it resolved?
We were told that we need to provide a court decision granting sole custody to me, but in my country (Russia) the concept of sole custody doesn't exist. According to the Russian legislation, in situations like this, when one parent refuses to give his consent to the child to go abroad, the other parent has the right to go to the court and get the court permission to travel abroad (temporarily or permanently) without the father’s consent. That's what we did in order to relocate to another country (we live outside of Russia now). If we provide a similar document granting my child permission to relocate to Canada without the father's consent, will it be considered enough? There is absolutely no way to get a parental consent, nor a sole custody, even though the father does not participate in the child's life and doesn't support her financially. Please share your experience, if there is any...Thanks!
