Do I have to track down my daughter's absent father to get permission to travel abroad? Do not know of his whereabouts but his name is on her birth certificate. No legal custody agreement.

Get legal custody first just in case.Then travel till your hearts content.File abandonment if he hasnt been in her life over a yr.

Well, if there is no custody agreement, then
there is no "contract" in place - and sure, you can.
One might argue that it is unethical, but it will
certainly be legal.
Why not perform a "best effort" to get in touch with him
and if you fail, then be assured you did the best you could?

All you need to do is file for full custody than travel will not be a problem

No. If there's no legal custody agreement there isn't a problem.

Good question. I have both legal and physical custody and nothing in my degree to stop me from moving.

There is nothing saying you can't. Nor do you even know how to get a hold of him to ask, nor should you ask with no agreement. Just do it!

Yes you sure do...unless you want him coming out of the woodwork and charging you with kidnapping...So would it be worth tracking him down to avoid a prison sentence?

I don't think you need one, he's absent. But to be on the safe side, i'd contact an attorney.
