Hello,

The custody was given to you by the court?

If you do not have the passport then approach the passport authorities with the divorce decree and try and get the passport

Hi, As per recent amendment the signature of Ex spouse may not be required for visiting abroad. Also you have the child custody and as a single parent, you may take the child to abroad. You may have to submit an additional affidavit for it.

Dear Madam,

You have to approach the Court again and seek such permission. It will formerly issue notice to your husband and allow your proposal.

Child support and child visitation are separate issues

After divorce, if your ex decides to discontinue or is incapable of continuing child support, it does not give you any right to withhold the visitation rights of non-custodial parent. In such a case, your behavior can result in your loss of child custody rights on the grounds of “frustration of visitation”. On the other hand, don’t let guilt of inability to meet child support stop you from meeting your child. Courts in India address the issues of child support and visitation separately.

· Relocation and Visitation

It becomes difficult to carry on regular visitations if the custodian parent decides to relocate to another city, maybe to his/her native place. It can also be a strategy to manage with the child support, which shouldn’t be intimidating and you should talk to your lawyer about it. Otherwise, communicate to your ex-spouse that the child’s needs the support of both parents.

Apart from keeping track of visitation schedule details, you should arrange your visitation with your child for fruitful meetings based on your child’s need. Remember that you had asked for visitation rights to meet your child and not for disturbing your ex’s life. Here are some advices to make visitation a comfort for everyone involved.

1. Advance notice to your ex-spouse

It is very essential since you both need some time to prepare to encounter each other before you meet again. To avoid any awkward or hurtful situation, it is better to inform your ex of your arrival in advance. Smooth out all bubbling negative emotions, before you come across your former spouse to let your child believe in your peaceful separation.

2. Be consistent in your visits

Inconsistent visits can be disrupting for your child as well as your ex. Moreover, it doesn’t serve the purpose of visitation. Remember that though you would prefer to visit your child for fun; however, it is your only chance of parenting them.

Be aware that your ex can appeal for modification of visitation rights in case you show any discrepancy in your behavior or visiting schedule without prior notice.

Your custody order required NOC from husband. If yes then you need to move court for permission. If not then you don't need the same.

If there is a problem to arrange visa then you need to file a mendamus writ in High Court for the direction and then you may do the necessary paper work.

As the minor is in your custody this will be easily allowed by HC.

What's the arrangement with respect to the custody of your child in the divorce decree?

I'm afraid that you need to approach the Court and apply for sole custody and guardianship of your child. Only this will dispense away the requirement of seeking your husband's permission to enable you to take you child along with you to USA.

You can apply for visa as single parent or the sole custodian if you have got custody through court order.

Since this is a temporary and tourist visa the rules may not be very strict on this.

You may ignore the permission from his father and proceed as per your program.

Let him approach court for restrain order.
