also want to notify the passport office that you have a sole residence order in the event that he tries to get a duplicate made. This is about trust and communication. It is unfortunate that he won't share a basic and essential piece of information with you. If only for emergencies, it is perfectly understandable to want to know where your child is unless, there is a danger of you attending and harassing him or such like. I don't think it is asking much to want to know where he is staying with a contact number for emergencies. Equally, you will need to extend the same information if and when you go away with your child. Hope that helps. Best regards, Harjit Sarang Q.

A. Hi there If you want to ensure that your child is not removed from your care, you need to apply to the court for a Residence Order. If granted, this order will state that the child must live with you. If your ex has the habits that you are reporting, this will not be difficult. You may also want to see contact restricted
