[deep breath....] So.
American guy married Cambodian gal here and in U.S.
For 7 years but separated for last 6 months.
2 boys with dual citizenship, ages 1 and 5.
Husband wants to visit ailing grandfather in States.
Wife says 'no' and courts refuse to get involved.
All travel docs under lock and key with wife.
Reasonable negotiations and cajolery have failed.
Options, please???

Just to be clear, you want to take the two kids to the USA with you for this visit?serendipity wrote:American guy married Cambodian gal here and in U.S.

I don't blame your (separated) wife for opposing that at all. You're probably at high risk of not coming back with her sons.
I went to high school with a guy who married a Japanese woman in the USA. They divorced, she stole the kids and took them to Japan to live. He was devastated.
Anyway, you posted a few months back that your wife was keeping you from visiting your kids. That's wrong. But I think she's quite reasonable to not let you take them to the USA if you're on bad terms with her and if she genuinely fears you might not bring the kids back.
I think you should visit your father (or grandfather?) in the USA without the kids.

You want your kids to visit your grandfather. Are they really that bothered? Probably not (one is aged one....). Old man in the USA is probably more concerned with the fact he is dying than seeing 2 kids who don't know him. Move one - by the sounds of it you will have (much) bigger battles to fight in the future.

You'll just have to figure out a more amenable arrangement. Good luck with that.

You say they have dual citizenship. Do they have separate passports?
If so, surely the US Embassy could help...because three of its citizens are involved..?

Buy her a ticket " ok i take you with us " and lose her on a stopover.

Maybe the old man cares to see them once before passing away?RBD wrote:You want your kids to visit your grandfather. Are they really that bothered? Probably not (one is aged one....).

OP, you're pretty fucked, even if you're fully divorced and you go to court 99,9% chance the children will stay with the mother. Better to sweeten up with their mum since as long as your kids will be in Cambodia she'll set the rules. Not much the US embassy can do - how can they enforce US law in Cambodia? Besides, do you have formal custody according to US law? Do you have any legal documents providing you with rights? The Cambodian birth certificate doesn't.
I have seven children, two just born recently, and am with my fourth wife, so you're talking to a seasoned pro.
Your future wives will be younger and more beautuful. You will become more handsome. You will have many more children.
Don't cry over spilt milk- move on and enjoy this wonderful planet.

So it's father not grandfather.
He is eighty years old.
Husband has invited wife to come along.
One son has expired passport.
Wife's is also expired.
Husband's is in his possession.
Children are now in wife's physical custody.
No court orders or anything of the like.

Was that a token invite to take your wife along since she has little chance of getting a visa?
If she is saying no, the answer is no. Unless you want to offer her money or something of value in exchange for her permission.
