They both have joint custody.

Well you said unmarried then the term ex so I assume you were once married.
Irregardless, even if there is no joint custody, because you are taking the child out of the country, you do need to get approval. Talk to a family attorney. There are some forms for this that are simple and easy.
Btw, since your child has a passport already, you could actually go for a visit without anybody knowing. I mean no one is going to stop you at the border for it.. not the Canadian border. I just would make sure to come back because say for example, you tried to move there without consent, then you would get into major doo doo.

It depends. You can have joint custody, but it depends on who has primary custody. Who does the child live with? The parent who is the responsible party and gives the primary care of the child is the one who has primary custody. Unless it is a stipulation in the custody papers, that parent does not need consent.

Yes she does even if she has full custody. The father is going to think she's trying to move to Canada and separate him from his kids. It would be the considerate thing to do.

I wouldn't think so..not for a vacation. If her ex has parental rights...ie: he signed a birth certificate, or has exercised his rights in any other way...then he probably has visitation, and will need to be told that the visits are cancelled while she is on vacation....
If not, then no worries. Moving permanently is when you need permission...from the court if the ex denies.

Blech. Why would all people opt to grant their youngster te same version, of an same call that has been well known for like 27 generations. those names had to be made up, too. And the spelling have truly been Americanized. Names like Katherine were once spelled Katheryn with the aid of the undeniable fact that became the unique utilization of the call. There are thousands of thousands of names and persons call their children in protecting with thousands of thousands of aspects. i'm PROUD to be the owner of a popularity that would not slot contained in the cookie cutter mould of what "should be". Ugh. i love being unique. i'm satisfied, have a strong job, human beings understand me, why is my call stupid? I practice highschool and also you comprehend what? merely as many "Christophers" and "Johns" are as uncontrolled, and misbehaved because the "Waylons" and "Dyllons". now and again they are worse. end wondering you're the in person-friendly words man or woman who's ideal and do not forget that you've an severe, nonsensical bias that could want to straight away insult different human beings who do not extra healthful into your utopic beliefs.

If they have joint custody, yes, get a notarized approval to travel. That would be best.
Sole custody would have to be shown even if the father was dead, if you don't have approval. It may not need to be notarized, but it doesn't hurt.

She has legal custody? No of course not. If US citizen no need for passport in Canada anyway.

I suggest that she tell him where she is going to take his child, especially if it is out of the country. As to whether or not Canada requires it, I dont know.

I think she does. I know one guy who had to have his step-son's biological father's permission for the step-son to join him and his wife during his assignment in Germany.

NO CONSENT NEEDED, UNLESS THE OTHER PARENT HAS PARTIAL CUSTODY OR PAY FOR CHILD SUPPORT.
