Just 2 more questions,

1. Can I email my resignation in or do I absolutely have to hand write...

2. If I can email, what is the email address for me to do this?

Thank you again for your help everyone.

Congratulations on your resignation.

I KNOW this would be a landmine, But:

what about in a continuing, viable marriage... where the Husband/Father resigns, and wants the children (say, under 15 y.o.) OUT, but the mother doesn't?

Would LDS, Inc. still recognize him/his wishes as 'the Head of the Family-Household' ?
there's a question fer ya...

That is actually a very good question guynoir. Pretty sure someone will have an answer for it?

Thanks Cheryl :) Never knew I could resign until this website!

And thank you BC for the link.

If one parent is TBM and doesn't favor resignation the mormons are likely to refuse to process a resignation.

The same goes for baptism. Mormon locals will usually baptize at the behest of either TBM parent even knowing the other parent is opposed.

I believe, officially, both parents must give permission for a baptism of a minor. (Emphasis on the word officially.)

I've talked to and read dozens of cases. Mormons try to follow commandments but building the kingdom is more important to them than rules or procedures.

Yeah that's what I meant by "emphasis on officially" - they don't necessarily follow the rule, but thanks for clarifying.

Legally if both parents have custody with no official record of separation or divorce, only one of them has to be there for any legal application, i.e., a passport, registering for school, admittance to a treatment program, etc. This means that one parent can request resignation for minors and the other can get them re-baptised. It's a messy situation; the law doesn't cover differing views on religion in an ongoing marriage.

If you're officially separated or divorced, it's a whole different ball game. Most legal decrees in these cases require the permission of both parents for anything of significance.
