The grandson of a longtime neighbor has a child with an ex girlfriend. He has no job except motoconcho at the beach, and has to pay 1000 pesos a month. Chicken feed to us, but a fortune to him.

child visitation / support
Thankfully I've never been in this position, but I have come across cases in the US where once you put your name on the BC you have agreed to take responsibility and they don't care about any paternity test from a legal standpoint. Sounds like it is different in the DR, but maybe you can elaborate on your story of getting your name off a Birth Certificate.
unfortunately we are ignoring the original question, paternity aside please... what are my custodial rights and can i deny her ability to leave the country with the child without my permission. if there is no specific answer please close or delete this thread
Perhaps someone can tell you about the parents' letter/signatures (of both) needed for a minor to be taken out of the country.
There is such a rule and we have discussed it here before

I went thru it with my gardener.... his child returning w/ the mother to NYC

Come on man, the average Dominican earns $250/mo, IF he is working ON the books. $40 is roughly 17% of his income(like the US).
Besides all the Generalissimos, Diputados, and other high ranking public officials and the Upper class and business segment with their 6 girlfriends in each pueblo would be put in the poorhouse if they assessed in US dollars or more than that percentage of monthly income.

In order for her to leave alone with your child she must apply for a Permiso para menores with Migracion where you must sign some documents. Not sure how foolproof this process is though. Would also assume you would need to authorize the issuance of a passport and visa.

Do not waste your time any longer with an internet forum. Seek proper, sound, legal advice from professionals.
As KateP stated she needs permission from you to take the child out of the country, however speaking from experience I was never asked for the "poder" except once in about 15-20 times traveling with my son when he was younger. I do not know if you could put in place a "impedimento salida" but I would ask a good reputable attorney about this. I do remember that for my son's Dominican passport both me and my spouse had to sign.

2. Re child support, it depends on the wage of the father. The average is around RD$2,000 a month, due to the low average wage. However, it is set at a higher rate if it is thought the father earns more or has access to more.
Example: My stepson earned RD$12,000 a month and paid RD$2,000 in child support. His ex took him to court saying as his step mother was a foreigner (hence obviously rich haha) he should pay RD$12,000 a month - ie his total salary. He managed to persuade the court that his stepmother was of the evil kind and carried on at RD$2,000 a month.

I have to tell you this one. In Luperon a teenager got pregnant. She claimed it to be my Nephews baby.
My nephew is a Dominican Born Canadian Citizen...thus her child would be the same...quite the prize in the long term,
So before the local Fiscale ordered the Boy (his Father actually) to pay $5000.00 DOP a month...Fiscale was family member of the Girl.
I suggested to get a Lawyer and dampen the Fiscale order until Paternity test can be done.
Then after talking with the Nephew Who actually made note of hid dalliance which he called an opportunity. The Girl was looking full term and from calculations was two months pre-mature.
In the end the child paternity test was negative... Oh OH Oh! An opportunity lost.
But thats the way the cookie crumbles here in the RD

He doesn't pay other than to send her gifts and the other guy (that is married to the mother) is willing to assume financial responsibility, he just doesn't want to cooperate with his ex.
Sure; it's called "Negacion de Apellido" Goes like this; Chain of Custody Paternity Test (Negative of course) > Lawyer > Family Court (No trial or something only Formality) > Court sentence to remove your declaration of Fatherhood > Junta Central Electoral ! Takes around 6-8 Month if you don't push and it costs less than 1000$ for everything incl. Lawyer. The Test you can do at ADNLAB, Referencia o Patria Rivas. According to my experience, the First i mentioned is the cheapest, and fastest i but that's up to you.
