If you’ve ever dreamed of travelling overseas with your child only to hit the wall of passport applications after divorce, you’re not alone. Between parental consent, court orders, and “special circumstances,” the process can feel overwhelming.

What you’ll learn:
-
Why both parents consent is usually needed for a child’s passport
-
What to do if your ex refuses or is missing
-
How “special circumstances” can allow you to apply alone
-
When and how the Family Court can step in
-
Costs, timelines, and what to expect
