My Son In England

   I think that there is no problem for returning to Bulgaria. The document is used to leave Bulgaria. On the other hand, it remains to be seen how it is according to British law - can a parent take the child out, I think it will not be a problem to return.

   When you left Bulgaria, you had to go through a notary and fill in declarations that they could take the child across the border separately. You can make one and send it to her.

   Such a document is required only by the Bulgarian border authorities when you take a child out of the country. In England, the parental consent of the other parent is not required .... Besides, you are hardly a British citizen to be so interested in you. That is, if your wife brings him to BG, but does not have your written permission notarized to take the child out of the country, they will cause her a problem at the airport and she will not be able to take him back .... You say "return him "... Your wife hardly plans to come back so that she can leave your child with you permanently. She probably intends to settle in England with him, so even if they come it will be in 2-3 weeks, like on vacation. I recommend you, for the good of the child, not to be a gypsy and to be cut down, but to get such a parental permission, so that the woman and the child can even come to Bulgaria to return to England in peace. My son was the same age (about 12 years old) when we moved and this is the age limit in my opinion when a child can adapt well to another country without problems.

   PS ... And your son is not in the 8th grade in England, but in the 8th year. That's what they call him here. The first year is considered when they are 5 years old, etc. at 16 years old. complete secondary education. Such is their system.
