Re: Child Passport

You should file a motion for issunce of passport for a minor. Unless the father has a very good reason for not signing, the family law judge will allow for the passport to be issued. You may need a family lawyer to help you. It's a simple motion, but a lawyer can help you move through the process quickly. It takes some time to get a passport, so you should probably start the process as soon as possible.
