Consider: A client living in Orlando, wants to take her three young children to the Bahama's for the weekend. Its her visitation weekend, does she have to tell their Father? Does she have to get consent or permission? Can he say NO!
International travel with children can be a Problem if both Parents do not consent or approve the travel.
Really, how many parents would abduct their children and take them to a foreign country? Even one is too many.
The Children's Passport Issuance Alert Program, CPIAP, is very helpful.
As the New York Times reported, many countries require notarized written permission of the other parent when traveling alone with a child.
The Department of State, http://travel.state.gov/ has great information for keeping your child safe.
www.myfamilytravels.com is also a great site for information helpful to traveling families.
