Case Rating: *
In mediation settlements, both parents typically retain certain rights. The father has visitation rights, which means he has the right to spend time with the child as per the agreed schedule. However, for passport applications, since you have been granted custody as per the settlement, you can proceed with the application without his consent, provided you have all necessary documents.
