Taking a child out of a country without the proper legal consent is known as child abduction. This is the case whether a child is taken out of the UK or sent out of the UK without the permission of the person who has Parental Responsibility for the child, or without the court’s permission. If a child leaves the UK for less than four weeks and does so by virtue of a person who has a residence order, this will not be unlawful.
The Criminal Offence
If a person removes a child under the age of 16 from the UK, this is a criminal offence under the Child Abduction Act 1984. Consent would be required from the mother, the father (as long as the father has parental responsibility), a person who has a residence order for the child, a person who is living with the child, a Guardian or special guardian.
The parent who is seeking to take the child abroad should gain the consent of the other parent or the permission of the court. This applies whether or not the other parent has parental responsibility and has been established as ‘good practice’ in case law. If someone else has parental responsibility (apart from the parent who is seeking to take the child abroad), there will need to be either oral or written consent from these people.
If a child is subject to either a care order or Residence Order, the person or people with parental responsibility will have to provide their consent in writing. In the absence of obtaining this consent, it is possible to seek the court’s consent instead.
Staying Within The UK
If a child is going to live somewhere else within the UK, this does not require any consent from anyone else. This is, however, not the same as abducting a child to another part of the UK. If a child is abducted but stays within the UK, and that child is subject to a court order that was made in the UK, the court order remains enforceable. It should also be noted that a court has the power to require passports to be surrendered and, if necessary, for a child’s whereabouts to be disclosed.
Fathers without Parental Responsibility
If the mother of a child is suspected of wanting to take the couple’s child to another part of the UK, the father can apply to the court for either a prohibited steps order and/or a residence order. If a residence order is granted to an unmarried father, he will automatically get parental responsibility.
International law is on his side, and he may be able to force the return of the child to their place of residence. This is, however, dependent on the father being able to demonstrate that he had been in regular contact with the child.
What To Do If You Suspect Your Child Might Abducted
Contact the police. They will ask you to make a statement.
See a solicitor to find out whether you should seek a specific issue, residence or prohibited steps order. In other cases, you may be able to apply to the High Court to make the child a ‘ward of court’.
Speak to Reunite, the international child abduction centre.
Contact the passport agency and ask them not to allow a passport to be issued to the child, or ask them to get the passport surrendered (this will normally mean you need to produce a court order).

I'm Alice Walton, I have an important testimony to sharing with everyone, My husband left me to be with another woman. and wanted him back. i was jealous and it made us argue all the time until he vanished away, I was desperate to get him back, I wasted so much time and money on getting my lover back after I have tried almost all possibilities to have him back and nothing worked. I became lonely for 2 years. To make it short, I found a spell caster Dr.Excellent by accident. I don’t know how I found him and i cant remember. But, when I first saw the good testimonies about his wonderful work and after reading the Testimonials, I decided I had to try and give it one last shot. After the spells, a miracle happened, my husband came home. it was awesome, anyone who needs help, should email Dr.Excellent He is the best. whoever need a spell caster that will work for you and bring back your lover should contact Dr.Excellent for help now.

I recently moved to Spain with my 2 children with the verbal consent from my ex (we were NEVER married). I recorded the meeting I had with him where he clearly gave me permission to take the 2 children to Spain as long as they wanted to which they do.However after 2 months of being in Spain and after I asked my ex to write an email of consent so I could get a family padron and get them into school he changed his mind and has gone to the Police and told them that I have abducted them??? I cannot afford to move back to England after all the planning and buying a place over here but cannot get the children into a school as the fathers name is on the BC!! He has never paid me any maintenance and has the children only when it is convenient to him.I have nothing from the courts to say that I have sole parent responsibility and would not have moved here if I thought that this would happen as it isa affecting ,my childrens education! I really do not know what to do and have made several attempts to contact the police in the UK to explain the situation but they are taking ages and the school year is already a week in!!! please any help would be appreciated!
Thank you

Hi, I'm pregnant and was wondering if I HAVE to put the babies dad on the birth Certificate?
Danielle - 1-Feb-17 @ 7:55 PM
our court welfare officer, has indeed put prohibited steps on my daughter, he said we own a property in cuba we dont but because he said this and its a non haugue country he got it this court person has lied to which i can prove he has also accused me off being a drug addict which again is rubbish, his evidence was a third party facebook page which he will not handover i think he is in love with fathers mother but should i have been notified of the steps in the first place

Jo - Your Question:
Hi my son is 6 months old his dad is on the birth certificate but he forced me to put his name on we are not together and he doesn't have anything to do with my son he doesn't pay child maintance is there any way I can have his dad removed without his permission he was abusive towards me and I am being supported by idas
Our Response:
No, you cannot have his name removed from the birth certificate if he is the biological father. If you do not want him in your son's life, you will need to take out a court order preventing this.
