Why does the minor need the passport? If the non custodial parent is afraid that the custodial parent may flee the country with the child then I doubt that any one - such as a judge - will make them sign it. If he or she is unreasonably with holding consent for a trip, etc., then you can ask the courts for help. Good luck.
