Parents who are divorced or separated in BC and who have child custody or child access need a signed travel consent form signed by the other parent or a BC court order saying they have sole custody or the right to leave the country to avoid problems when leaving with their children or returning to British Columbia. Make sure you get the form signed well in advance of the trip to avoid last minute stress for you and the children.
