Dependent Children Documents for Permanent Resident Visa (CDN)

The Permanent Resident Visa application for a sponsored person's dependent children requires outside of identity documents the following:

"If you are divorced or separated, you must include proof that you have custody of the
children, that you have fulfilled all obligations in custody agreements, and that the children are free
to move to Canada."

Has anyone had experince with getting these notarized documents in colombia i imagine it's the same type of document if your applying to immigrate with your child to USA.

thanks, in advance,

document Dear Tom

To get the document, i would need to know if the divorce was made in court or in notary and if it was registered. One common problem is that people get divorced but dont do the liquidation of assets so the process is incomplete.

Then, knowing in which place the papers are, you request a copy, in court is a similar process but can tak longer

If you have more doubts feel free to write me to: lawyerscolombia at yahoo.com

problem Dear Tom

In that case the problem is to know if the father of the kid is going to let him travel with his mom. Something new is that the common permission in notary ( modification of may 23'07) only allows a travel of 60 days so the child could only stay outside Colombia that time. Of course the DAS is noticed of the paper so if the boy is kept more than the law authorices, the mother would have problems when she comes back

If the mother wants to keep the full custody, she must ask for it to a family court.

In her case, a presumption is a share custody

I wonder if the child is already 18 years old, does he still need permission from his father to join his mother, say in the US?
