My husband and I are both US citizens as are our children. We have recently separated and he is living in Brazil for work. He wants our girls (ages 6 and
to travel by themselves from California to Southern Brazil to visit him. I do not want them to go by themselves and am wondering if it’s even legally possible for them to do it. The flight would require at least two plane changes and travel of over 24 hours.
Please let me know what the law states so I can tell my husband no.
Thanks.
