78232 Posted January 10, 2011 #1 Share Posted January 10, 2011 We will be cruising with our grandaughter. We have a notorized permission letter but it is a copy. The origional is no longer abailable and it would be impossible to do another letter. Has anyone traveled with a copy? any problems?

RoadTripFanatic Posted January 10, 2011 #2 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I don't know about a copy. My biggest concern would be does it have the correct dates of travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6rugrats Posted January 10, 2011 #5 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Mom needs to get the court's permission then. The old permission to travel letter wouldn't work anyway, even if you had the original, if it was for a past trip. You need a new one for each trip. I speak from experience as I am trying to get a letter from my ex for a planned trip, but he's currently "underground" as he doesn't wish to pay child support. These losers make a huge hassle for their children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milton333 Posted January 10, 2011 #6 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Yep, I would have mom contact the local Legal Aid and see if she can get help getting a court order allowing the travel. The court order works in place of consent from the father. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
