Scenario, to protect identities of the parties:
P1 and P2 are parents of a minor child C1, and are involved in a divorce.
P2 holds 3 citizenships: U.S., Canada, and another country (birth country of P2) not part of the Hague Convention.
P1 has fears that P2 might abduct C1 to Canada, or worse, to the other country. P1 claims to have mentioned this possibility to the judge, including facts to support that P2 does not want to live in the U.S.
Can the local family court judge order P1 to involuntarily participate in the application of an international passport for C1, in light of the possibility of abduction?
Is there any procedure to "restrict" a passport of a minor child to prohibit travel any further than Canada?
