Name changed.
I split up with exh twelve years ago and have two dc. In the last ten years exh has not visited the children, paid any money for them, send Christmas cards or birthday cards or presents. No phone calls and the very odd email. I have tried and tried including giving him a way to call free.
To be quite honest it wasn't a good marriage and one of the dc made a disclosure about him while they were in primary school which was documented but not taken further as I had left. We have had some issues.
I wasn't allowed guardianship as he did not dispute them living with me so the court said they didn't need to interfere.
I don't know where he lives and he's changed his phone number. I do have social media and an email.
I have been invited to a wedding in October and now have to get permission from exh who has done nothing for the last twelve years to take and pay for my own children to go on holiday with me.
I know there has to be laws in place for some situations but I believe in America if you can prove you have tried to establish contact and been rejected there are rules.
Aibu to think it is unfair that I have to stir the hornets next and risk hassle to get permission from someone the kids don't even remember?
