Child Passport and controlling ex

4 replies

Hi,

Just wondered if anyone else has any experience.

Two children aged 13 (Child 1) and 10 (Child 2).
COA in place - 50/50 custody.
British parents.
Both children born in UK.
Child 1 born before marriage.
Child 2 born after marriage.
Now divorced.
Ex was and still is very controlling and always has another agenda.
Ex (and his lawyer) played dirty in both custody case and divorce, he cost me my job and tried to force me into bankruptcy.

Ex has a very well paid job but will not spend any money on children unless he has something to gain from it.
Child 1 wants to go on a school trip which requires a passport.
I had already said I would sort out the passport.
Child 1 spoke to ex about trip and ex said to tell me not to apply for passport just yet and then he would speak with me about it - he didn't.
Ex has gone behind my back and applied for passport and told Child 1 not to tell me.

Confronted ex and asked how without my details - he said he did not need them.
I have said I would like to apply for passport for Child 2 and have asked for his passport details for the application - he is refusing to give these.

What does he have to gain?
What possible agenda might he have?

Thank you in advance.

I think probably he's just doing it to be an ass and controlling, so you essentially have to ask 'permission' for the passport etc if you need it for anything.

I hope someone comes along with good advice soon! 💐

If he controls the passport he controls whether or not your child can go on any trips or holidays. I am sorry.

AFAIK you don't need his details to apply for a passport for child 2.
