If I understand correctly, your mother and father are already divorced at the time of filling out the reply card. Your father filled out the reply card with your mother's details and signed it. The question now is whether an agreement has been reached. Since your mother was not involved in concluding the agreement and she also did not grant your father any power of attorney or other representation, no legally valid agreement has been reached. So those were the rules, now for reality. Did your father sign the reply card with a signature that looks very similar to your mother's signature? This could cause problems, as in that case the travel agency has a signed document that can show that your mother accepts the travel agreement. If this is not the case, then you are in a strong position. My advice is to send a letter in which you first explain the situation step by step. Secondly, I think it would be wise to send a copy of your passport or another official document on which it is clear that your mother's signature differs from the signature on the reply card. Since a bailiff has been called in, you would be wise to send the letter to both the bailiff and the travel organization. In addition, it is wise to contact the bailiff as soon as possible, so that they know what the situation is and so that they know that they can expect a letter with a description of the situation. Good luck with clearing up the joke!
