Under DR law, bother parents have joint and equal custody of the child. Therefore even with a signed authorization from the mother/father to leave the country (DR) with the child, although accepted and allowed, it is infact illegal. The person leaving the country with the child should have full custody.

New to me! Legally leaving with child.
No, his employees told me!
Have been my lawyers for quite some time, never considered anyone else since 2008, get the job done, expensive but hassle free. I would hate to think after this time they would wrongfully advise me.
(Are they employees, partners? Whatever!!)
Can I post a copy of the emails without getting in trouble? I wold hate to think it was AG trying to get one over on me, but I was quoted $200 from one lawyer and $2995 from G----- A----, infact the first quote was $4995. And I have all this on email.
I used GA for everything in my life from residencia to custody and so I am surprised by this if it is indeed intended.

I'll ask a friend if that's true. But as far as I know for a child to leave with either parent or a relative all they need is a notarized letter from the parent who is staying behind.
Someone who quotes 4995 usd to handle an authorization to bring your own child out of the country I'd call a thief. Especially since the process doesn't cost more than 3000 pesos. (Usd75).
You don't need a lawyer's office for these kind of things. Just a notario publico that will sign your paper for 1000 or 1500 pesos, legalize it for 300 pesos and then the authorization for 3000 pesos.
But maybe they tell you it's actually illegal and probably 'not that easy' to make you believe you need them.
If the mentioned office really quoted you that price for a simple authorization procedure without complications, I wonder why that office is being promoted and recommended on a site like dr1.

Hug, why don't you ask someone in the UK if you need custody through the courts for
school purposes or better yet ask the school if the notarized signed consent is enough.
Maybe this is what Guzman's office is talking about and not just to get the child out of
the country but that once your daughter is in the UK you may need to show that you
have full custody (through the courts). Proof that she will be living with you permanently.
Just saying.

That is what I thought, maybe there is a difference between just leaving with your child for a vacation and having her residing with you in a different country!
My daughter (16 years old) just came back from a 6 week vacation in Europe, she left with a permit issued by immigration. None of us accompanied her. But staying out of the country and start to live somewhere else as a minor could be a different story.

Hi B,
She is enrolled in school, no issue. We just need to produce her passport.
I would also prefer this. And unless I hear differently from Fabio then I seriously need to question this advise. I have written and called direct with no response.
I probably won't keep you posted as I understand they are a sponsor!
ANyway, take this off what needs to be as this could be damaging if not correct, and I don't want that. They've been good to me over many years.
