my son recently married his partner because he was told thet their daughter albeit she has his name and they live as a family, could not take his child on holiday out of the country without permission of the mother. if there is such a law does this apply to married couples also.

There is no such law.

It depends when the child was born.
If the birth was before 2003, I think, then the father does not have the same parental rights as a married father would.
Post 2003 if the child has the fathers surname and the father was present at the registration of the birth then he has the same rights as if he were married.
Even without parental rights it doesn't mean the father can't take the child on holiday. It means that if the child had an accident, for example, then he could not make any decision regarding medical treatment etc..as he does not have this right over the child. so it could be potentially risky taking that child abroad.

I hate to say this but I feel that your now daughter in law trapped your son into marriage!!! If he did not want to get married then he could have just went to court for visitation rights and usually the father of the child is the one who DOES get the weekends and every other holiday. I think she could have gotten him for abduction of the child if he had left the country without her permission, but i honestly feel that they could have just sat down and talked about it. I mean, if they were already living together as a family , i dont see anything wrong with her allowing her daughter to go with her daddy out of the country unless she was afraid that he would not return with her. Many children never get to leave the state .....I think it would be a wonderful experience for the child to see another country!!!!!!!!!! She doesnt try to stop you from seeing your grandbaby does she?? Please say no.... Good luck to your son because it seems that he has a long road ahead of him with a wife like that!!!!

The best way to get around these laws is to set up a parenting plan with an attorney. This is a legalized form that addresses each holiday visitation and times. My ex and I had this set up do to the fact that he was worried I would move back home (4 states away) after we split. This form gives each the rights to travel over borders in our time frame. If he was to take the child out of the country and the mother disagreed it would be kidnapping and vise versa with her. Parents due have equal rights now although you still can't go against the wishes of the other.

He wouldn't need permission of the mother but if she refused then,no he couldn't take her.
Up until Dec 2003 unmarried fathers had no legal rights to there children unless the courts granted it.
For unmarried fathers with children born after this date they now have full parental rights.
married father, wether they marriedbefore or after the birth have equal parental rights and can take child on holiday.
This is 100% the right answer in the UK

Married parents have always had full parental rights even if they married after the birth.

i don't believe of that is necessary to be formal with friends and kinfolk. I despatched out playing cards with mixed kinfolk names addressed as "The Smith kinfolk" taking the call of the guy; which in my adventure is likewise the call of the youngsters. those with mixed households that i recognize, keep in mind that no insult is meant to the kinfolk member that doesn't have their very last call protected. For a pair with an similar very last call, I manage them as John & Mary Smith. also, i appreciate the image card from those with childrens, so i can see them age. image playing cards from adults are unusual, except that is a wedding ceremony image or a kinfolk image. in case you preprint the message, a minimum of signal your call to personalize it.

they don't need to be married, but he must be named as the child's father on the birth certificate. he should see a solicitor and explain his situation.
