Re: children leaving the country

Many cruise lines and airlines won't allow the kid on their vehicle unless all the paperwork is done in advance. This is not a court issue -- it is a company policy issue.

Therefore, you need to talk to the ship or airline that you are using to see if there will be a problem.

I had to sign a very long document when my daughter was one week shy of her 18th birthday in order to go on a cruise with her Dad. It was the policy of the cruise line.

You are wise to be asking this question now!

Good luck!
