Hello everyone, new here so please bear with and thanks in advance for any help given.
I am wondering if it's possible for my daughter's dad to apply for a passport for her without my knowledge or consent? If so is there a way I can find out if a passport has been issued in her name?
To cut a very long story short we have been separated for 2.5 years but still legally married. He has minimal contact with our daughter (6), always supervised by myself for reasons we shall not go into here. He currently has access to her birth cert and our marriage cert allegedly because his lawyer needs them to start divorce proceedings. I have had a letter from his lawyer so know this is legit.
The other day I mentioned to him that I was planning to fly down to London with the wee one for a weekend to see my brother. He then accused me of going behind his back and getting a passport for her without his permission. I explained this was not needed as it's a domestic flight. Something about his reaction to the possibility she had a passport he didn't know about has set my brain into overdrive and I can't get the idea out my head that he's applied for one for her behind my back.
He's a very emotionally manipulative, controlling man and one of the hallmarks of our time together was for him to play havoc with my anxiety and accuse me of things he'd done to try and shift blame and twisting things to make me the bad guy. This is exactly the kind of stunt he'd pull for nothing other than to amuse himself.
Sorry for the long, rambling post but the what ifs are playing on my mind and ramping the old anxiety up to max. Any help or information or pointers on where to find any info that may help are much appreciated. Many thanks to all.
