Only you know your circumstances, Martin. No one else should advise you. Just be careful about the passport thing although, even if the kids have passports, until they are 16/18? she can't take them abroad without your permission.

If there is anything illegal about the forms, her claims or anything which could implicate you if you sign, then do not sign.

If the children are yours, as you are married, she wont have much chance of emigrating with them without your say-so.  A simple chat with a solicitor and a £25 letter will put pay to that idea (if that is her intentions).

If it is just a case of she wants to take the kids on holiday, then, why not?  Only you know the details.

Laws may vary from one country to another, so I can only tell you my personal experience. Therefore, you'll need to investigate what your precise situation is before acting.

I have 2 daughters and now longer with their mother. In the first instance there is a court ruling on the living arrangements. There is primary living arrangement, and secondary. Custody is joint. This means my daughter lives with her mother, and visits me. But neither of us can take important decisions without the agreement of the other. Important decisions include education, operations, emigration and the like. When I applied for a British passport for my daughter, (mother is not British) I did not need to get her to sign. Maybe as you are still married, it is different.

In the case of my youngest there is no court ruling, but automatically it is joint. Whether this is just for Germany, or because we are not married, or EU ruling, I don't know - worth checking.
It may be as you are not yet divorced, you automatically have joint. Really need to check - also concerning who left the family home etc etc.

You seem unsure about the autism. If this is a lie, don't do anything. If true, and have evidence, then signing should be fine
