Will I need to get DH to write a letter of permission to take my dcs out of the country?

[CharleyDavidson]

We are together, married, no problems. He is happy for me to take the kids on holiday without him as he has no desire to travel and has no passport.

Will I look suspicious, travelling on my own (short haul, balearics) with the dcs? Will I be stopped like I've read on other threads?

I have never had a problem with just me and DS going anywhere, but every time we fly with DP to his home country, we are stopped at passport control and DP is told off for letting his son travel on a British passport, even though DS was born and lives in the UK.

I have a different surname from the DCs. Never been asked for their birth certs or a letter from DH.
