Yes! Really, any parent who is traveling solo with their kids should have a letter of consent from the other parent (even if they are married). This ensures that they won't run into any issues traveling (within the US or internationally). I recommend this for US citizens too.
A parent generally needs permission from the other parent before travelling with the child especially if the travel will impact the parenting time of the other parent. However, if the separation agreement dictates how travel should occur, both parents are expected to follow the terms of the agreement.
How do I write a consent letter for my child to travel? List your child's name, birth date/place, and passport details. Provide the parent's/guardian's name, custody information, and passport details. Add contact information for the non-traveling parents/guardians. Detail the child's destination and dates of travel.
A letter of consent, preferably in English and notarized, from the other parent or signed by both custodial parents. The letter should say: "I acknowledge that my child is traveling outside the country with the name of the adult with my permission."
In the USA, though, unless there's a court order requiring permission from both parents, a child may travel (even to overseas) with either parent/guardian without showing proof of permission from the other parent.
