I am a U.S. citizen and I might be the father of child whose mother is a Dominican citizen that I have had a relationship with for one year.
I believe that it is in my best interest not to continue my relationship with this person.
I want to have a DNA test performed after the child is born and if the child is mine I want to have custody of the child. Please understand that I want the mother to be a part of this child?s life, but I know that the arrangement I want will be to the child?s best interest.
If the child?s mother is agreeable to this I will have a document drawn that will award me custody. I will also assume financial responsibility for the child.
Questions:
1. Will the Dominican government allow this to happen?
2. If prior to her signing this agreement and DNA testing is performed is it possible she could have papers served on me to have DNA testing done? If so, what are the potential legal consequences? Why this question? Unfortunately, I have learned not to trust her. I want to anticipate a problem before it occurs.
I understand that I will need to apply for a visa granting me the right to stay in the country. My intention would be to stay in the DR and raise our child.
Thank you.
