Aurora, CO asked in Family Law for Colorado

Q: What would be the consequences of getting my son a passport without his father's signature?

I have not heard from his dad in over 7 years and raised my son on my own. I would like to take him on vacation to see where his family came from. I have decision making and sole custody of my son clearly, his dad originally had supervised visits only, before he stopped coming around. I am simply curious and any advice is welcome.

A: I do not know the passport requirements in your situation. I do not see a problem with you getting one if you can.
