I am not aware of any forms for the fathers permission for the child to leave the country. As I understand it he just writes a letter giving his permission in Russian and has it notarized and then it must then be transated into English and also notarized. At this time I do not know if there is a time limit for the document to be acceptable.
Ditto;
I caught your post on child custody and wondered if you could help me. My wife is in Ukraine with her five year old girl and because she was not married at the time, she does not have any documents showing she has sole custody even though he has disappeared and has not been seen in years. Any idea or maybe your lady knows where and how she can obtain such documents? Everything seems to change in Ukraine almost daily, even the names of the government offices. I would reall appreciate your help. I want to bring them here but I am sure the embassy will demand more documents than she has which include she is a single mother receiving a small sum from the government every month which to me only shows that the father is not supportive, and the document she has that shows that only she was present to register the birth and named the child with her family name, which i think they will dismiss as meaningless because it does not specifically mention custody.One thing I have learned is that they look for specific words only and if they are not there, it will result in denial. I do not want her to be crushed again because of the US government. She has already been treated badly by them.
Thanks again
