The father does not have a legitimate fear of travel he is strictly disgruntled. What form and how do I file for a motion to get a judge to approve my son getting a passport
A: This forum cannot be used in this manner; i.e. to be instructed on how to practice law. If you do not want to hire an attorney to assist you, you can use the court's self-help link on the Superior Court's website. What you will need is a Request for order either to modify custody so that you have sole legal custody, or to get a court order allowing you to apply for the passport without the other parent's permission. The passport office (or post office - depending on where you are applying) will require some kind of court order that allows you to apply for the passport without the other parent's written consent.
