My Dominican husband lives in the US with me and at some point we want to start the process to bring his 2 kids. The question I have is who really has custody, when my husband and the mother of his kids split over 6 years ago she moved to Santo Domingo and left the kids with her mother to raise. Her mother lives around the corner from where he lived and he has always provided money and saw them on an almost daily basis. Whereas their mother only visits about once a year, we still send money every month and have proof of that for over a year since we have sent it through xoom. Prior to his coming here he just handed the grandmother money but everyone including his family knows that he provides for them.
So from a legal perspective who has the custody of his children to start the process? I suspect the grandmother is going to try to block because she won't want to lose the money that she gets for them. So I believe and know it is going to be a fight I just don't know how much of one.
