Yes. Anyone under the age of 18 traveling alone or with one parent or a third party must present notarized written authorization from the absent parent(s) or legal guardian. Please be advised that such a letter is valid for only thirty days fromt he issuance and usually only valid for one entry into a country. The letter should contain the full name of the child(ren) the parents name and place of residence and specific contact information, the mode of travel, the destination and the travel time frame. The parent(s) may also wish to include any special instructions, such as medical information. It must be signed by both parent(s) and bear the signature and seal of a legal notary public.
Boyfriend or husband (unless he is the biological father) has no legal right to the child at all. The mother can try to go for full custody though.
Being married or unmarried is not much of a determining factor when it comes to custody nowadays. In order to have custody changed you would need to prove that either your household and parenting abilities are substantially better than the other parent, or that their situation is detrimental to the children. Having a spouse does not necessarily mean that you are better able to care for the children, especially if the other parent has had custody for a significant length of time without the children having any problems in a single parent household.
The mother assumes automatic custody, unless she is unfit.
yes if you have full custody you dont have to consult your ex.
Yes, legally you may. Will the judge hearing the custody case look favorably upon such action is a bigger question. Speaking from professional experience, judges do not care for such arrangements especially when there are minor children involved.
Guardianship, not custody

Nothing. Once you separate, you don't have anything to do with each other, unless there are children involved in which case one parent will have custody and the other will have access.
Custody is determined by the courts.
In some jurisdictions, child custody documents may need to be notarized to be considered legally valid and enforceable. It is important to check the specific requirements of the jurisdiction where the documents will be filed.
That would depend on whether the divorce decree stated Joint Custody or not, and probably what state you live in.
No. A notary is just a witness to someone singing a document. The document could pertain to custody or power-of-attorney issues, but not necessarily. The notarized paper could mean anything . . . you'll just have to read it to find out.
It would not be custody, it would be guardianship. This would only require a notarized letter granting guardianship and a Power of Attorney as regards the children. Also, an agreement to pay child support.
Yes
no, only if you are going out of the country. I just traveled out of state with my 2 children and I have sole physical custody, it was no problem.
Whether this is even a crime depends on which country the children are taken from and to, and whether one or both of the parents have legal custody of the children.
You don't give them custody, you provide them guardianship through a notarized letter stating this, plus a Power of Attorney to make decision for the child. Very clear parameters need to be set, along with a child support amount paid by both of the parents to the maternal grandmother.
