The question comes up occasionally and most recently it has been posted that the father doesn't have a say. About 3 years ago a friend of mine's wife left here to be with him in the US with her daughter and no mention of the father was ever made. I would still not make mention to the father as it could possibly be that he could make some legal stink about it. You know how lawyers are always ready to jump in where they don't belong to make a few pesos. Thanks SM. Things must have changed since we went through years of hell trying to get my two stepsons out. I know the Oz immigration wouldn't issue visas without the both parents signing but that may have also changed. BTW The Oz Immi people in Makati were very helpful at the time. Might still be worthwhile getting the useless father to surrender his rights, as he may become a problem specially when he finds out his ex is a potential ATM! 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Years ago, one needed the Father's signature or DWSD clearance in order to leave with a child under the circumstances, that hurdle was lifted about 2005 if memory serves me correctly. Of course, every country has their own visa laws, US law has nothing against this, so long as there is no court order forbidding removal of the child. I've absolutely no idea what the pertinent laws may be in Ireland (or Aussieland). 1 Link to post Share on other sites

It was after the child was born she found out. Well i cant give up. I only have 20 fingers and toes and that would not be enough to count the number of times I have heard this same story. I do not know her nor could I guess if her story is true or false. Poverty will make people do and say anything that will remove them from that situation. So tread lightly and use some skepticism when you hear these stories. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Girl Friend was in a previous relationship with Phils man and they had a baby. He at the time gave all the assurances that he would take care of her so the child's name was put in his. Needles to say but child maintenance was never paid and the relationship broke down permanently. He has subsequently fathered another child. who he does not support either. The type of person he is,is irrelevant but to say he is a bit of a druggie.According to GF She broke off all contact with him soon after the child was born and no contact since. My question how to get the name changed to her mothers. So when we marry i can adopt her. She holds a responsible job works diligently for the last 3 years and supports her daughter who lives with her Mother. This is causing my GF no end of heart ache and if i can in some way sort this problem it will help expedite our relationship back home. Another point, we routinely have clients that must change the name on a birth certificate, to match the maiden name of the mother, rather than the child using the Father's surname (if they are unmarried at the time of birth). This will require a court petition and take about 4-6 months. Expect P20,000 to P40,000 in attorney fees. Edited July 17, 2017 by shadow 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I know (or at least am assuming) Derick is Irish so he would have to find out from Immigration in Ireland, but just curious if US immigration would care about the names being different as long as her name as mother was correct on the BC. 2 minutes ago, Derick said: Can you quote a petition number or Ref/ I suggest finding out if you need to do that first.

The Philippine Government is a money making machine. My wife had her name misspelled on our Marriage License. 2 certifying documents to get married and 13 certifying documents to correct the error. This is despite the fact the regulation stated you only need two for correction. When it comes to immigration the rules are fluid and the examiner can request or ask you to do anything they feel to strengthen the petition. Some are predictable other are out in left field. Every single person that has done immigration for any country will have a different experience and no two are the same. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

True enough.. but he didn't do it alone. The young woman was an eager participant at the time, and this does say something about her decision making as well. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
