What is the name of your state? Kane County in Illinois
I need to travel back home to Germany with my two minor sons (Dual citizenship Germany - USA) next month. Their father is not involved in their lives, does not pay support, we have no court order, has not made an attempt to see them in over a year. We have not been married. Our first son has his last name, the second one my last name. The father is on both birth certificates. The father has left the country (USA) and cannot (does not want to be) reached and is probably trying to immigrate to Australia. I do not expect him to be back in the US anytiem soon.
I need a permission from him that I can travel home or they will probably stop me at the airport. I need to act fast and get some kind of court paper to give me a 'free pass' to travel with my 2 and 3 year old boys. I have called a lawyer who wants a $1500 retainer fee. I cannot afford that.
Plus I do not think I need a lawyer since the father is not in the country to fight my plans.
Please advise me what I need to do. What papers to file in court and how to get about it.
I am clueless.
Thanks so much folks!
