Travelling with my son abroad?

Question

I had my son 8months ago (US Citizen)and I am hoping to travel with him to South Africa for christmas to meet my family for the first time. My husband who is an American citizen refuses to let me go with him. He's afraid that we might not come back. I've tried to reassure him that I wouldn't leave my belongings, job and a marriage and dissapear on him like that. My son deserves to know my side of the family who are all abroad, what can I do legally to force him to let our son come with me (the vacation is only for 10days). Unfortunately due to finances, we cannot afford to pay for a second ticket for my husband, so figures if he cannot go then his son is not going either. What lawyer can I see, I am willing to take it that far, i won't deprive my son and my family a relationship

Answer 1

u cant do anything.... if he doesnt let him go then he cant

Answer 2

I don't know why your husband is acting like that. how long have you been together?

anyway if you can't affored it now, just hold off on going and save some money so that you can all go.

I don't think there is anything legally you can do to "force" him to let you guys go. but i'm no expert.

even if there is a way to force him to let you guys go, what do you think will happen to your marrige? it will cause more problems for your marriage than you son not seeing your family right now.

as i said earlier, don't go yet, save money so you can all go. what's the rush.

Answer 3

If your son was 6 or maybe 7 where he would gain bonding I would

underswtand your position but your son is le likely to bond with

family at under one year be real put off the visit and send pictures

until the child can remember and share closely the bonding you want him to share you are being unealistic and very instigating and obstinante to your loved husband and you have a rare outlook that is

very put offish and unfair to your husbands wants. Set aside your selfish wants because really the child and the family wil cherish the bonding with a more older child they have seen in photos they do not need to hold such a smal infant besides travel that far is very harsh on a baby under age 3 yrs besides the rigors of travel all the illnesses

the child in a plane is bombarded with his small immune system cannot handle may due him more harm than your family would not

want to harm his benefit or health. rethink your wants and pospone your trip save for the other ticket and love your husband letting him know you love the child as much as he does and share it together

bod with him showing him you care for his desies and love him

doent make him be deprived of you both and your love for each other

for such trivial jaunts. The child will not benefit from this long journey

besides all the shots his immune system it way to young to handle the

multitude of diseases and illnesses in a flight cooped up with some

possible lethal bugs for such a long travel. sides you do love your husband right. why wold anyone who loves their spouse and child place them in a position to be separated and in such unhealthy way.

And as far as lawyers you seem to havsome issue other than the child

that wont even be able to remember a trip to south africa until way after

he turns at least 6 or 7 I cant remember my earliest memory until

I was 4 when my dad died. so love your family dont seek lawyers

to take a family trip thats bizarre. love and honor your relationship

and think of how separated and detached your husbqand would feel

without you and his son during a family holiday meant to bring together your bonds of love. your family will understand and wait for the little loved one and they will better enjoy loving a bright and

chipper tyke as they would a a bundle of joy without the drama of the dad no there to share their smiles asthe new grandson enters their loving home. chill cheers. love each other and prosper be happy.

Answer 4

.   YOu may want to pay to have your family visit you.  They need to see this baby. I hope your mom can make the trip.

Answer 5

Your son is really too young to benefit from meeting relatives now.  He would be stressed over the trip, not to mention how much stress you will cause your fellow travelers.  If you need to go to visit with your family then go yourself.  Take lots of pictures and enjoy a vacation.
