Q: 16 year old son wants to live in UK with grandmother so he can go to school there. Can x husband prevent this? Florida
We all wanted to move but he blocked us using the 50-mile rule. I don't have the finances to fight it out in court but my mother lives in the UK so my son could live with her and go to school there and one of us at least would be free. He has no hope of college in Florida, it costs too much and student loans are stupid. He is a dual citizen, Irish and American so he is an EU citizen and can study in the UK. He can also either get a student loan - they are structured differently in the UK so make much more sense - or enter an apprenticeship program there.
Sorry, I can see no way to answer your questions other than to add the information here. Yes, he has a passport and no, we are still fighting to move so the 50-mile rule is still keeping us prisoners. I am asking this question to find out if my son can move to go to school DESPITE the 50-mile rule.
A:
Does your son have a passport? Normally, in the US at least, both parents have to sign a passport application.
If the father blocked the move " using the 50-mile rule", has that obstacle somehow been overcome?
