Court order to take child on holiday

[Ksisusbshau]

Has anyone had to get a it order to take child on holiday?
was it difficult? How much roughly did it cost?

and is this then permission for any future holidays or one specific one?

thanks

@Ksisusbshau A child arrangement order costs just over £300. You can represent yourself in court. You will be awarded it as your ex is being unreasonable and acting against the best interests of the child. This will allow you to take your daughter out of the country for up to 28 days as your daughter is living with you.

Don't do this without one as you would face child abduction charges which a vindictive ex would be only too aware of.

For those jumping down my throat.@YetiTeri it was obviously a typo which should have said 'can' instead of 'can't', otherwise, why would I also say yes, it costs money to go to court. If I was telling her she couldn't go to court, why would I even mention that it costs?? Was i was basically saying, no you can't go to court but it's going to cost you money for the privelege of not being able to go. Doesn't make sense.

So wind your neck in before being so bloody superior

It wasn't obvious at all @gingergirl70. You knew what you meant, no-one else did.

I wasn't being superior, I was highlighting the risk in giving out incorrect advice.

@YetiTeri you could be a politer, there was no need for the way you said it. And I think if you'd read it properly about the costs bit, it might have been a little clearer it was a typo. You weren't poliely highlighting a risk at all. You're obviously just one of those people on MN who like to talk down to others and flex your muscles, trying to show you know more than others. Don't mistake me for someone you can treat like that.
Now, let's not hijack the OP's thread any more. I won't be interacting with you any further

Why is he refusing op?

My ex refused a holiday. I applied for a specific issues order and (sensing the utter knob-headed-ness of my ex) gave me a residence order that covered all future holidays up to 28 days.

Was very straightforward. Get the form, fill it in, hand it in with the fee. No idea how long it will take but the court clerk should give you some idea.

Good luck op.

They can stop you and refuse travel.

I've been stopped twice and had to show all my documents. You do hear horror stories of parents being stopped at passport control and not being allowed to go on holiday. Not worth risking for the sake of a couple of hundred quid in court costs.

Were there boys identifying as girls on that trip? As a parent, I wouldn’t give permission for my daughter to go on an overnight GG trip either!

No all biological female.
It was a more basic allegation that no reasonable parent would let a girl aged 11 or 12 go on a trip abroad. But 150 others were. It was a fully organised/risk assessed/insured trip to EU country.
Judge had no hesitation approving. I’m not sure why costs were so high, I know it was very acrimonious.
