I may be going it alone...

blogs/blog-0100567001366136934.pngMy boyfriend just received a letter from Passport Canada stating he is being denied his passport for past due Child Support. I know I know, I don’t condone it either but he IS paying his arrears, under an accepted payment plan so I just don’t get it. He’s making calls but it doesn’t sound hopeful. I’m really bummed out at the thought having to travel alone, not to mention I bought non-refundable plane tickets.

 

I'm sad.

    So sorry to hear this! Any chance that you bought trip insurance or that you still can? (sometimes you can add it on after the fact).

    Awwww, sorry to hear that. I went by myself and felt 100% safe and comfortable... I know you'd like to have him with you for support, but know that you won't really be alone when you're there... you'll have plenty of other patients with you and you'll all look out for each other.... REALLY sucks about the plane tickets though.. ESPECIALLY missing the window by ONE STINKING DAY!

    That does suck! But guess what-- you really can do this on your own. It is very quick and you will be home and on the mend before you know it. You will be ok. And don't let anything stop you- no matter what. It was the best decision I ever made- wish I Could have done it 10 years ago.

    Well, here is what I now know. In our province, Ontario, if a payor fails to pay thier Child Support then first they have their drivers license suspended... and then thier passport (or right to one) is taken away. My guy's drivers license is just fine... so it is clearly an administrative error somewhere. That being said, we only have 23 days for two government offices to straighen things out. Those are not good odds!

    However, that being said, I will remain positive and hope it gets sorted, but if in the end it deosnt it just means I am meant to go alone, and I am ok with that. Its just a small change in plans.
