[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He cannot get a passport without your consent. Document all this unhinged behavior so if he goes to court to try to compel your consent (possible) you have a clear argument against it.[/quote]

OP again.

The unhinged behavior is just stuff he says.  There's no action.  So does that count in court?  [b]He says he will be killed by the government, and needs to flee to another country for political asylum[/b].  [/quote]

OP, please, don't brush this off just because he doesn't have citizenship or ties in another country.

He sounds mentally ill and it's the kind of illness that could lead to his trying to take your child--if not internationally, then possibly within the U.S. I realize you're saying, he's only used words and those aren't exactly actionable in court. But please document what he says, when he says it, every detail, and right now, today, contact your attorney and say you are concerned. Keep close tabs on this. It's the kind of talk that can turn on a dime and escalate into many things, from ranting in front of your frightened child, to having strange interactions with your child's teachers or other adults, to pulling your child out of activities "because it's secretly a front for the evil government!" to kidnapping.

Ask me how I know. A family friend's ex-DH went as far as trying to pull a kid out of activities (baseball, FFS!) and railing at teachers at school. Fortunately for the mom and their son, the ex ended up going off the rails at work, threatening coworkers and getting fired, then moving far away, thank God, to get "off the grid." But it all started with talk just like your DH -- "The government wants to harm me, personally, and indoctrinate our child" talk. [/quote]
