    can a parent take kids over border w/o other parent's consent

    I'm a US citizen living in Canada for the past 10+ years, married to a Canadian citizen.  We are separated 3 months and I'm pursuing divorce proceedings.  He was arrested on a domestic and is out on bail.  I want to take our 4 children to visit their grandparents in Virginia this summer and he won't give me parental consent.  Can I still go across the border if I get a court order?

    If he has shared joint custody of the kids, then yes, he can stop you. 

    Go for the court order, it might can help matters. Let the judge decide and hire a lawyer.....

    A court order would nullify his non-consent. He might have registered the kids with the US State Department, if it is possible to do this, and/or the Canadian equivalent, to prevent this sort of thing. Upon entering the US, you can be denied entry and so could your kids, and get tied up in the bureaucracy.
