To give him her passport?

Please help me.
My husband is Romanian and I'm African. We have a baby who was born in Africa.

We live in the U.K. now and I'm
a resident. Our baby has no right to stay and easiest option is to get her a Romanian passport.

My husband has been living away from the home since December and we have unofficially separated. He has her on weekends. He has expressed the fact that he thinks she should live with him but is currently picking her up and dropping her off according to our agreed program.

He once threatened to take her away from me so I am reluctant to give him her documents.

Is it a good idea to give him the documents? As it stands our daughter can't travel outside the U.K. because they wouldn't let her back in so this passport is a good idea. But I keep thinking that he will take her
Xxx

Hi I will not work things out with him, what I meant was we are being amicable about our baby. I have tried to engage the Romanian authorities but they insist on him making the application.
My immigration lawyer says this is the best way forward. I still have her birth certificate from my country and even called the high commission to explain the situation and they will issue me with a new one should he refuse to return it.
I was stuck because she doesn't have legal right to stay here.

Also he's getting a British passport for himself and will get one for her as well.
I'm just being hopeful and praying for the best. Xx

Oh I see, sorry I misunderstood.

It sounds as if you've got advice and been very thorough. I do think it would be wise to get a second opinion, preferably from RoW as they're experienced in domestic violence and abuse, but it's up to you.

Sorry, I can't believe you're even asking this

No. You definitely should not give him any of these documents especially the passport.

It doesn't matter what he's said over text, if he takes her out the country then that's it she's gone.
She wouldn't be allowed back in the UK by law plus she would be with her own father - you wouldn't have a leg to stand on.

Id be getting my advice elsewhere if I was you.

To be safe I have told him
He's not picking her up till he haves it back. He's due to
Come on Friday so I've told him to get it sorted this week and bring it back Friday otherwise he can't pick her up for the weekend
