Does anyone have any experience of this? DS lives with my partner and I and has supervised contact with my ex once a month. We have a court order in place that confirms this arrangement.
We have recently applied for a new passport as DS' has expired. My ex arranged the original passport but we had it, so have sent it off with the court order and the application for a new one. However, we have now received a request from the passport office saying we need written consent from the other parent before the passport will be granted.
Should this be the case? Reading online it seems to suggest that the court order should allow us to request a passport without getting the other parent involved? Contact with my ex is extremely difficult and this will just be used as the latest power struggle if we have to go down that route.
