I need abit of advice here, my daughter is 18 months old and sees her dad once in a blue moon. A bit of context with that, he cancels 24/7, when he does have her he calls me hours before I'm due to pick her up demanding I go and get her & I won't allow him to have her overnight as he has PTSD & kicks, screams, cries & chokes in his sleep which I don't deem as a safe environment for her to sleep in. I've never stopped him from having her during the day time, and I will also add he doesn't contribute a single penny towards our child. I have family that live in the US ( I'm from the uk ) and want to take her on a 90 day trip starting in Florida and ending in Canada. Upon sorting out our visas, I noticed that I can only take my daughter out of the country for 28 days without the other parents consent to which I contacted her father and he won't grant me the permission.
I will just add on incase it doesn't make a lot of sense, her dad sees her every 8 weeks or so for about 2 hours and then drops her home, this is of his own choice not my own. I mentioned the trip to him previously and he didn't care, he only cares now that I have to have his permission. There's also no reason for him to believe that I wouldn't return as 1 I highly doubt I'd be able to get the sponsorship as it's not immediate family, 2 I'm a uni student so when my new term starts in October I'll have to be back, I also go back to work part time in September & our daughter starts nursery.
Just to add he is obviously on the birth certificate but her last name is double barrelled.
Does anyone know what I can do from here? Tia
