Question posted in the Family Law category relating to Gauteng
I am planning on immigrating with my Son and wanted to find out what do I need to apply for that will grant me sole custody or serve as proof to immigration officer that I am legally permitted to immigrate with child (preferably without fathers consent).
Som has an unabridged certificate with my details only as father was not present at birth. Father also does not contribute financially nor does he visit child. He only sees child 3/4 times per year only because me and his mother (sons grandmother) arrange for my Son to spend holidays with her.
