September, ,,,,well you have little tim to get your head screwed on. The child will have dual Nationality, that is a given, so she does have options when older, and if you do as I say even earlier. This may take it out of you but you need to put those acting classes to use. If you have been a bit of a dick and tried to play hardcore then forget all that, you now need to indulge in super father/husband of the year. Splash a bit of cash on the mother over the few months, as well as supporting the child, the childs needs cost next to nothing so don't worry about that. Even try to wangle a bit of a semi living in situation with her. What you are aiming to do is to get her to trust you love her enough, to take the child from the country with you and return. No matter what you say, some of these women trust no one, no laws, no official anything and so showing documentation to her is pointless. If you can have a successful trip out of the country, and ruturn as and when said without any drama, give the mother enough money to go a little wild while you are away, then you stand a huge chance of wishing you were leaving with her more often, and that is the ultimate goal, make her believe he child is better, she is better, and so all is better while the child is with you, and at th end of the day, she doesn't lose face as she is does the right thing.
I left changed my entire world for my partner and child, I would not have been with her and certainly would have found an easier way around this whole thing from what I know now, living in country, and doing all this is costly, **** for your career, terrible for metal state and general living conditions environment. If you are here and living separate then you will be paying for two nice places to live, she will not accept anything less than where you standards lie.
If it does get messy, then either walk away, or prepare yourself for several years of diving manipulation, unreasonably demands, theft and the use of the child as a weapon.
My best advice in the Domnican Republic is get the snip before you book your ticket. It can really dictate your life for many years and remember no one, absolutely no one gives a monkys about you here, you are on your own!
