hi,
would airports even stop you travelling with your wife or stepdaughter? i dont think they will. i just checked british airways site and it states a child can travel alone if their 14 years old and above.
If the young flyer is accompanied by someone who is aged 16 or over (on the same or a linked booking), British Airways will still allow them to travel.
- All young flyers aged under 16 and travelling alone must complete a parental/guardian consent form before travel, regardless of when the booking was made.
as mojo, mentioned better to get some legal advice. it might even save you money, from having to get a court order in the first place.
The form you would need to make an application is the C100 form, it costs £215 to submit it, but that’s the only cost you would incur if you represent yourselves, instructing a solicitor or direct access barrister would cost considerably more. You can download the form and print it off, or pick one up from the court office.
You can give the court a call or the PSU, which is also situated in the court building. Explain that the whereabouts of the father are unknown and that it’s likely he is in Africa. Ask if you are able to make an application to take the child abroad in these circumstances.
I would also give customs/passport control a call, they may be able to give advice.
