If he is unreasonably withholding his signatute on the passport applications, you can file a motion for issuance of passport without signature in state family court and the U.S. State Department will honor the order.

sorry to hear this, you can use your Miami family court to order his to do so if he is being unreasonable. You may also want to check with an imm attny because if you are bringing minor children out of the country you may need permission from the other natural parent or a letter from the appropriate dept. explaining the situation. take care and best wishes.

You need to review the specific provisions on the US passport home page that states the method to obtain US passports. This site from the US State Department provides excellent guidance. Good luck. http://travel.state.gov/passport/get/minors/min...
