do a search, there been topics about the theme.
i never paid much attention on it, but if i remember right the long arm of the law can reach specially american male citizens in such cases.
Mike
I always found it intriguing, not to say hard to believe too. But yes, there have been several reports alleging that in some cases of a DR-court assessed child support, the arm of the law had been sent out to reach all the way up to the US successfully.
... J-D.
Doubt it. The problem is that record keeping is DR is so spurious that any document can be challenged in a courthouse in the US with respect to authenticity.
In the small towns and pueblos its customary, but even in the big cities, many birth certificates are handwritten and not recorded on the ACTUAL day of birth of the child. And many people dont give birth in hospitals. Whereas in the US, everything is the responsibility of the hospital management to record births(and deaths) and then to file those documents with the county health department. If you go to an Ayuntamiento here, come on?! If they do have electricity(to run the computer or even the copier), competent personnel who didnt get the job as a patronage position, AND the records, you may have to make a request for a copy of the data and come back in a day or a week. If they dont lose the request or get fired in the process.
Pretty much all they are good for is to identify the name of the mother and a general description of the child borne(Maria Joseita Rupaula Magallanes Castellana Lopez de Garcia se dio a luz a hijo feminina de 8 libras, 3 onzas). Now if you make a motion to establish paternity using a DNA test and the birth certificate you can put yourself in a position to be officially recognized as the childs father. But still apart from this, DR record keeping by itself isnt admissible
The more I read this forum the more I realized few people here know jack about Dominican issues. This whole post is bull (no diss to Racerx). If there's something DR has made great progress under Leonel is in the area of record keeping, specially with birth certificate. Kudos to Hillbilly, Chip and Lambada. Those three are always spot on Dominican affairs.
I was curious what are the child support laws in DR when the father is a U.S citizen. Thanks.

That's no longer the case. UNICEF State of the World's Children report for the DR 2009 states that almost every birth is in a health facility.And many people dont give birth in hospitals.
A total of 95% of pregnant women receive antenatal care, 98% of births are institutional and 100% of these receive qualified care.
it is not about the way a bith certificate is done or not and when or not.
a simple DNA is enough to make the father officially the father, and the connecting laws between the DR and the big bro USA reach to the last hillbilly's last stand and drag him in front of a US judge

Okay
I agree with your assertion that it's a Father's responsibility to take care of his offspring, especially when he can do it in a 3rd World country with a depressed economy for very little cost. If the guy just went ahead and offerred the $3,000RD/ month willingly I'm more than sure it would be accepted and that would be the extent of his liability as well as protect him legally when in country (DR).
To do any of this SHE HAS TO BE A RESIDENT OF THAT JURISDICTION
This residency (usually county) i
I had to make an edit here: Her claim is VOID unless she can come up with the guy's SSAN.
The levels of mother-child health services coverage in the country are comparable to those in medium and high-income countries. A total of 95% of pregnant women receive antenatal care, 98% of births are institutional and 100% of these receive qualified care. However, the other side of the coin is that the maternal mortality rate is 159 per 100,000 live births, similar to the rate in countries with much lower levels of development.
The rate of infant mortality stands at 32 per 1000 live births and of these 70% are babies who die within the first 28 days of life.
The UNICEF Representative stressed that it is not just a question of increasing coverage, but also to go on supporting the actions that have been implemented by the authorities to increase the quality of services. “The challenge is not just to increase the level of social spending, but also to improve substantially its quality and effectiveness”.
The stat comes from the ENDESA 2007 survey and the wider quote is anything but a case of them blowing their own trumpets. It says that the maternal and infant mortality rate is high despite the fact that so many women receive ante-natal care and give birth in health facilities, leading to the conclusion that the quality of these facilities is sub-standard.
Jmmm, dont mean to hurt your pride bro, but you cant store records electronically without electricity. And it is common practice to NOT record the birth of the child on the day it happened in many campo ayuntamientos. And since you dont know WHEN the power will go you take records by hand, if you had a functional computer in the first place.
Prove me wrong.
a. Can you assure me that EVERY province in the country documents ALL crucial articles electronically?
b. And that with these measures there are also anti-counterfeiting and anti-tampering safeguards in place?
c. That when a new sindico is elected they dont bring in a new administration of which many people MAY NOT know what they are doing?
That has to be to most ignorant comment I've read here in the last 6 months. RacerX I usually agree with your world views but you really need to learn A LOT more about the DR. Really...
