Dear resilient
Welcome and what a positive name!
Sorry to hear you are going through a stressful time with courts. Do you have good support and specialist DA advice in place?
I do not understand what grandparents have to do with a child’s passport?
You as mother, with the child’s birth certificate should be sufficient to get a passport? Shouldn’t it? That’s all I know I’m afraid, but hopefully someone else will be along with more knowledge around that.
Yes we’re all in it together here, rather sadly, but also thank goodness! We’re all here for you, so do keep posting and getting all the support you can in place to get you and your family through.
Warmest wishes
TS
