Hi
I posted here a few weeks ago, but my post on lone parents got all the traffic.
I will try and keep this short. My DS dad has been absent from his life now for 4 years and has made no attempt at a relationship. I have not prevented one, I have just never begged him to have one
.
Recently I requested his consent to take my child on holiday, as he has PR. He spent weeks answering sporadically, with questions and not answers. Last night he became really aggressive over email. I have not exchanged anything nasty and kept it to the point of our shared son. A further few email exchanges on I have finally been given his permission to allow our son to travel on holiday. He said he will not agree to his name change though, which is fine, as permission is what is most important here.
My only concern is it is a 1 line email saying he has no issues with me taking him on holiday. Will this be enough, or does he have to write an actual letter with child's name etc?
I have seen examples online but they all specify travel destinations and dates. I really dont want to go to him every time we want to travel. The control he has taken from me requesting his permission has been unbelievable. It has been awful really how he has been.
Can he not provide me with a blanket email/letter to cover me for ongoing travel? And what does it need to contain?
Thanks
