Traveling with a minor only one parent attending.

[iCruiseTooMuch]

I am a divorced dad who has taken my minor daughter on 22 cruises. I have been asked for a “permission letter” 2 or 3 times. That’s 10% of the time so I never leave home without it!

I can see that going very poorly. And I can also see the lawsuits flying fast and heavy. What does the person say when the single parent says I have complete custody? How about when they say the other parent is unavailable and the person checking asks why?

 

 

Congratulations, that 'why' may have just opened the door to a civil rights case under HIPAA law. The same reason you can't challenge a person's disability or therapy animal.

 

 

If a parent shows up to a Federal prison and wants to bring a child in to visit, congrats, they can bring the kid in. They have custody. Now if we are going to let them into a prison without question because of custody rights and civil rights issues I don't really see where any other State or Federal agency is going to survive a lawsuit that has already been won.

 

 

There are plenty of reasons to get signed paperwork, but most of that is to make situations easier while out of the country.

 

As a lawyer... bahahahahahahahahahaha

 

Ahhh, the internet. Always good for a laugh.
