My ex husband is not willing to sign if I don't give him money
by: Anonymous

Question: My ex-husband is not willing to sign for my children to get their passports since we are both on the birth certificate. However, he is undocumented and lives in Mexico, I live in the U.S. and my children were born in the U.S. My ex-husband is asking that I give him $5,000 per child if I want him to sign. I don't have that kind of money to pay him. How can I get my children passports if he won't sign?

Answer: You may apply for the children's passports with Form DS-5525. Explain the situation in as much detail as possible and submit the form with the rest of the requirements.

Applications submitted with this form may or may not be approved -- it depends on the situation surrounding the children. Providing proof of your exchange and his attempts at extortion may help your case.
