Taking a child abroad without consent.

What is the worst that could happen if I take my child abroad without the other parent’s consent?

Unless you have an order stating that the child lives with you – you must seek the other parent’s consent. Failure to do so could lead to potential criminal charges for child abduction.

You could also be refused entry into your destination country without the necessary documents. A trip abroad without consent is also likely to have legal repercussions for future trips.
