Your child will need a Child Travel Consent any time they're traveling without all their parents or legal guardians present. If your child is traveling alone, with only one parent, or with a non-legal guardian, they will require a Child Travel Consent signed by both parents or legal guardians.
A consent letter is recommended for all cross-border travel, even for a day trip, if the child will be travelling alone, with only one parent, with friends or relatives or with a youth group.
Unless your specific court order prevents out-of-state travel or other restrictions, generally each parent may choose to travel.
The United States Does Not Have Exit Controls: Two-parent consent is not always needed for a minor to leave the United States. Without a valid court order prohibiting the child's travel outside of the United States, there may be no way to prevent an abduction.
It is not mandatory that you have a signed letter from the other parent, as long as the border officials are satisfied that you have proper approval from that parent, or a court, to travel with the child.
You should obtain a child travel consent letter granting you permission from the absent parent to leave the country with your child (having it notarized is not required, but highly recommended).
It should say something like this: ``To Whom It May Concern: I, Mr. Joe Smith, grant permission to my wife, Mrs. Jennifer Smith, to travel with our child, Billy Smith, from Chicago to Toronto from March 1, 2015 to March 8, 2015. Billy's date of birth is January 1, 2010 (see attached photocopy of birth certificate).
It's important that you give your co-parent notice and preferably get their express permission in writing if you wish to travel outside the state with your child. If the other parent refuses to cooperate, you can ask for the court's permission in advance.
If your child is traveling alone, with only one parent, or with a non-legal guardian, they will require a Child Travel Consent signed by both parents or legal guardians. A Child Travel Consent is sometimes called a letter of permission to travel.
The letter should include the other person's contact details and details about the trip. It also helps if you've: evidence of your relationship with the child, for example a birth or adoption certificate. a divorce or marriage certificate, if you are a single parent but your family name is different from the child's.
