[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What documentation do you have showing that you have full legal and physical custody? I would be sure to travel with that. And if you don't have such documentation you should go back to court to get it because you might need it in the future (ie for major medical decisions).[/quote]

The three attorneys told me I don't need documentation showing this because I already have these rights per our state law. They said I don't need to go to court for sole legal and physical custody because I already have both. I've never had to go to court for custody, the father has no rights. He would have to file with the courts to apply for any parental rights. We were never married. He is listed on the birth certificate but it says I was unwed at the time of birth. I didn't have to submit any custody paperwork when we applied for my child's passport. I just wrote how the father is MIA and non-compliant, and printed out the state law granting all parental rights to the unwed mother. I also submitted the child support order.

Do I just take the child support order with me? Has anyone just used this?

Based on the responses I'm getting, I'm thinking to just take the same documentation I used for the passport, and show that if asked. It includes the state law, the BC, the child support order, the notarized letter saying the father is non compliant and MIA and has never filed for legitimation or custody, and the passport form for special circumstances.[/quote]
