Re: Obtaining Passports for children of divorced parents.
Probably, although as you've no doubt surmised, that would be the unusual case. I think it would depend on the circumstances of the traveling. Generally speaking, if the travel were in the children's best interests, it would seem to me that the non-consenting parent would have to come up with a good reason why he or she will not sign.
If you would like to discuss the case in more detail, please do not hesitate to contact me.
