I have gotten myself into an unpleasant situation. I had a son with a dominican female. I rented an apartment, paid all the bills and sent her money weekly for the last year and 7 months. I would visit my son at least every two months. I was present at his 6 month baptism and I was there to celebrate his 1st birthday. Western Union was getting expense so I opened up a savings account with a bank card and she used it to withdraw the money I would send. I only transfered the amount I knew she would withdraw and there was never more than $200 at a time. I do online banking so I have records of all the withdraws.
Recently, I told her that I didn't think it was working out between us and that I would continue to pay the rent, bills, food and expenses for the apartment. She said she was unhappy living in Santiago and that she would be moving back to Nagua where her mother lives.
Yesterday my mother tells me she recieved a call from the mother of my son saying she had left the country illegally and had left my son with his grandmother. Backtracking, for a minute, when my son was 3 months old I went to the city clerks office in Nagua and registered myself as the father of my son. They made me sign papers and took copies of my documents.
My question to those on this board is....Can I go to Nagua and take custody of my son? I am a natural born Citizen of the US. I have the same job for the last 8 years. I own my own house and don't have any criminal record.
I posted this in the legal section but as you may guess, I am very pressed for time and looking for a quick solution and I figured more people read the living section. Sorry but I'm desperate. Sorry to the moderators in advance.
