Hi Experts,
I have a serious problem. I have been divorced since 2004. My ex-husband has visitation rights. When I applied for my son's passport, the granting officer said that it is mandatory that the father provide an NOC and sign it in person in front of the officer. My ex-husband sent me a notary attested NOC. But when I submitted this at the passport office, the officer again said that the father has to sign in front of me. I requested my ex to come and sign and I would be bearing all his travel cost, he refused to come. I then gave him an option that we both approach the court to remove the visitation rights from the divorce decree. I even said I dont mind him visiting the child ever. (Please note, he hasnt visited or even enquired about his son for once in these 12 years) . He is adamant that he will not come or help in any ways. He says he doesnt care if the child gets the passport or not. What can I do??
