[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The strict rules on children traveling with only one parent also apply when you travel by train.

When my kids were younger, I brought their dad's death certificate with me when we traveled, just in case.  The only place I was actually asked to get it out was on the train traveling from New York to Montreal, at the border crossing.  There also was a woman with 3 young children traveling to visit family, who didn't have a letter from her husband.  She was asked by the agent if she could speak with the oldest child, then the 8-year-old was asked questions about "Was daddy working", etc.

A teen friend of my son's was with us.  I brought a permission letter with me signed by his mother [and stating that she had sole legal custody] with me.  I also had to get that out, and it was read.[/quote]

I have an 8 year old who I have been travelling alone with since he was 6 months and I still pull out the notarized copy of the court order stating I have sole custody and that I can travel without dad).  I noticed I wasn't asked last time but I pulled it out anyway. I'm wondering at what point I can stop carrying this court order around. [/quote]
