With Easter School Holidays just recently, we have created a
guide for separated parents seeking to travel overseas with their
children.
Are you separated but don't have any parenting
orders?
Without any parenting orders, both you and your partner are at
liberty to take the children on overseas holidays. We recommend
both parents agree to this.
Does your child have a passport?
If you are taking the children overseas, they will need a
passport. If your child doesn't have one, the other parent will
have to sign a passport application.
If the passport application is not signed by your partner, you
can make a written request to the Minister for special
circumstances. If this request for special circumstances is not
accepted, you may have to apply to the Family Court for an Order
which will allow for overseas travel.
