[quote="colt"]I know from personal experience, you will need documents from father relinquishing his custody. These documents will have to be "authenticated" by some government entity in you home country. The middle eastern countries are enamored with government agency stamps all over official documents. This may present a problem as not all western countries have a process for authenticating documents other than notarization. I got a stamp maker to create an elaborate stamp, and then put postage stamps on the document and stamped away with phony stamp. The visa people were satisfied with that.
Good Luck![/quote]
What a great spirit you have!! Bravo!!
I realize this is going to be a troubelsome bit of paper, but I was told that if the child is given to me in the divorce then I don't need his permission any longer. This may be the custody relinquishment requirements. I do hope I don't need anything further than this.
I really do admire you for just comming up with your own stamp, but what happenes when someone else from your area has a different one? Maybe it's just not very likley that that will happen. |

Who told you this? I don't know anyone who was able to use only their divorce documents. Every person that I know had been given sole custody in their papers and still had to get separate written permission.

I know one single (divorced) gal who went to the mideast...she had been awarded sole custody and STILL needed notarized/authenticated written permission from her ex deadbeat dad before she could go. Mind you, this was to Sharjah about ten years ago, but I doubt little has changed regardless of the Emirate - or other place in the Gulf. As VS mentioned, in Islam children belong to the father, not to the mother...you could be viewed as a "vindictive man-hating *beep* who stole her children away from their rightful owner" without word otherwise that comes straight from the horse's mouth rather than from an infidel judge that helped you steal them 
Sorry to join the bandwagon, but you I highly doubt you get any jobs in the Gulf without the requisite permission from your ex to take the kids there.
IMHO

And then there was the single mother who adopted a child - she had to jump through even more hoops to prove the child was adopted and the government of the country he was adopted from had to issue papers to that effect.
Custody papers are almost certainly not enough. |
