Duplicate child passport

Guest101

Remember some countries do not extradite their own citizens - e.g. Russia. Despite having extradition agreements regarding foreign nationals.


It's gone both ways there. 1 where the authorities helped (children dual nationals) - however the dad in that case had serious mental health issues.


And in others.

If he is named on the birth certificate, then he has parental responsibility for the child ( equally with her).

She needs to take proper legal advice if she is concerned about him taking the child out of the country etc.

Parental responsibility isn't the issue here, PR doesn't give him the right to abduct the child..
Yes I do agree legal advice needs to be sought and steps taken to prevent the father fleeing with the child.

He might have wanted the passport detials simply so he has a record of them. As a PP said, if he is concerend that she may removethe child from the country then having this information would be invaluable.

He might aslo want the details if he is hoping to take the child on an overseas holiday - passport numbers are somwtimes needed when making bookings or for some kinds of insurnace to cover costs of replacements etc. Photgrapghing or scanning impoartn documents can be a good way of backing them up.

If she is seriously concerend about the risk of abduction then she should talk to a solicitor about ways to manage this .

If there is a genuine risk then it is possible to get a Prohibited Steps Order and for an all ports alert to be issued if a child is missing.

Where does she think he might go? Some contries would be of much greater concern than others.

But it gives him a right to a copy of his childs passport.

I have a digital copy of my passport and will do the same when I get my little one a passport.

If he needed it for a legitimate reason wouldn't he have asked ?

Plus most people don't leave passports out where any visitor could just pick them up to look at or photograph. Even if the other hadn't changed where she kept passports - in most homes he'd have still needed to have rummaged.

I'd have deleted the photo and then told him to leave. My home - I set the rules not some ex boyfriend even if he happened to have fathered my child. I wouldn't tolerate anyone going into my private documents -ex or not.

But PR does give him (equal) rights to be involved in decisions about all sorts of his child's life and upbringing.

That doesn't change if he is no longer in a relationship with the mother.

She needs proper legal advice about what she can and can't stop him doing and what she can do to apply to limit his rights if that is what she wants.

If the question is asked the other way around:

Do mothers have the right to prevent fathers with PR from having a copy of the childs important documents incase of an emergency?

Surely the answer is no

Surely he's as entitled to the passport as the mother is anyway?

So the question is...Why didn't he just ask for a copy and explain why he felt he needed it
