Questions concerning a minor flying out of the United States with someone who is not their parent
I have a few questions concerning a minor flying out of the country. I am a minor living in Texas, and I have been invited to travel out of the country by a family friend. I asked for permission from my mother, who promptly said yes, but since my parents are divorced I was wondering if I need to ask for permission from my dad as well. I live with my mom, if that helps the situation.
Also, would the family friend I would be traveling with need any special paperwork expressing that my parent(s) give him consent to travel with me alone?
I am planning on going to Israel.
