with my 4 year old daughter. I am divorced and her father has no visitation rights as he failed to appear for court and pay child support.

My concern is if I should need some kind of legal paper or something to be able to take her down there. I know I need a passport to travel, but I believe she just gets a tourist card right when we get there, eventually we would apply to become residents. How does the process go on that with a child? She should be starting school next year and I will be putting her in.

Any information please would be very helpful.

Muchas gracias.

What country are you coming from? If the US, see this http://www.travel.state.gov/dominican_republic.html There is info on children in the section re entry. Basically it states what is necessary if a child under 13 is entering with someone other than a parent or legal guardian. If you are the parent and your child is under 13, is appears that you will not need anything additional.
