Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey
Passport for a minor
My ex-wife and I have joint custody of our 14 year old son. It is true that she can obtain a passport without notification to me and without consent?

Re: Passport for a minor
she can not take the child out of the USA without your consent, but you will have to make sure that this does not happen. If the child lives in NJ, then she can not take the child out of NJ without your consent. Again, you must enforce your rights.
If you would like, give me a call; I am in northern New Jersey. I will be happy to discuss this with you; the telephone consultation will be free.

I don't know of any law that says she can't get him a passport, but she cannot even take him out of NJ, let alone the country without your consent or a court order.
