FAQs

Typically, a letter from your husband is not legally required for domestic travel with your children. However, having a consent letter can help avoid misunderstandings, especially if traveling alone with the kids. This letter should state that your husband gives permission for you to travel with the children. It’s a good idea to have this document, particularly if you plan to cross state lines.
