Permission for minor to travel

1 month ago
My question concerns permission for a minor to travel abroad. I have a 15 year old daughter born to a Colombian woman,I am an American. My daughter has her U.S. citizenship,SS # etc..I live here in Colombia and have a visa due to my being her father. Her mother wants to move to Spain and take my daughter with her,I don't want her to go and my daughter is unsure if she wants to go. My baby mama wants me to sign the permission papers and I have refused to do this for probably 4 or 5 years now. Recently the baby mama has told me that the law in Colombia has changed and now she doesn't need both parents permission. Yes,I plan on talking to a Colombian attorney but I was wondering if anyone has heard about the law changing concerning this,I haven't. I have asked several Colombian friends just for the hell of it and they all agreed with the baby mama's statement that the law has indeed changed. Thanks.
