[quote=Anonymous]OP here. The father and I were engaged to be married when my child was born. We were engaged and planning the wedding for several months before I became pregnant. Hence, the father was listed on the birth certificate and my child was given the father’s last name. A year after my child was born, the father became physically abusive and I decided to end the engagement.

For the first couple years of my child’s life his father was an interested and involved parent. Then he decided not to be and it has been that way since.

I have no plans to change my child’s last name as he likes it. I asked if he’d like to be changed to my last name and he said no thank you. I respect his wishes.

Has anyone traveled alone with their children recently to any countries that have not asked for this notarized letter? I will simply avoid problematic countries for now. Canada is off the list until later when the letter won’t be an issue.

Also does the child’s age make a difference? My child is not a little tiny kid. He’s a growing preteen young man, almost as tall as I am.[/quote]
