Unless you have a court order stipulating out of country travel and shared custody, a childs passport should be off the table regardless of the health of your coparenting relationship. You texting your ex about your reservations was the second best thing you could have done. Validating your own emotions and not getting the passport would have been the first. Your fear is not irrational at all. It is based on real stories from real people.

THIS MOVE IT UP

My husbands ex took the kids and didn’t return them on time. This was before a parenting plan was in place. And the cops said without the PP they couldn’t do shit. we have allllll this labeled out in court paperwork now.

Right? Even in Canada when my husband and his ex got a standard parenting arrangement it specifically stated that they would maintain a passport for the child, who would pay for it, who would hold it and that neither would prevent the child from having opportunities to travel with their other parent.
