If a Dominican woman has a child with a Dominican man, who later moves to the US and becomes a citizen, can she sue for child support--in the US--even though she does not live in there? I know that this is more of a US legal question, but the situation seems to apply to many Dominican women.

Can someone give me the names of some budget hotels in Samana City, or, even better, something close to Cayo Levantado. Need names, prices, phone #'s etc.

Where can I watch the games this Sunday in Santo Domingo? I really only care about my team, the Texans, who are not particularly popular, so it would have to be a place that is showing the majority of games.

Can anyone tell me how to get to Bayahibe by bus from SD? Which companies go? General schedule? How do I make the connection in La Romana? Tks

I feel somewhat foolish for posting this, but I thought that I would give it a shot. I am in SD, and I want to find a Cuban girl who can help me practice dancing Casino (Cuban Salsa). There are something like 20,000 Cubans here, but I don't know how to go about finding someone that would be...

Does anyone know where I can buy video/dvd's of "Nueba York" or "Perico Ripiao" in SD?

In DR1's daily news summary, they sometimes mention that one particular newspaper column is widely read (Hoy's "Que se dice" and Diariolibre's "De buena tinta" are two that come to mind). Are there any other good journalists/columns that are popular?

I am going to be staying in an apart-hotel for a few weeks before getting an apartment in SD, and I want to know about my options for internet access. 1. Is it possible to get a dialup account from an apart-hotel? If so, which company should I contact? 2. Do all of the cell phone companies...

Soon, I will probably be living in SD for around a year. I have heard that many apartments will require several months paid upfront because of my lack of DR rental history. Fine. My problem is that I hate to fly into SD carrying thousands of dollars in cash. And, even if I exchanged money...

I know that this question has been asked before, but given the current economic/energy situation, could you tell the monthly cost in Santo Domingo in a 2-3 bedroom apartment for: 1. Electricity 2. Telephone 3. Flash Internet (by the way, how long does it usually take to get this installed)...

I am going to be living in Santo Domingo for 5-6 months, and I don't want to live in an apart-hotel for that long. Ideally, a month before I move, I would like to fly in for a week and arrange everything using a real estate agent for the apartment rental. But, before I go this route, I would...
