Hello Everyone,

This is my first time to join this forum. I know my case is common issues and have very weak chances to reach out his father but still I would like to seek some advise if possible? I am hoping to get some hopeful tips and information or what is the best thing I could do with this matter? or Is there a chance that i could reach him without rejection? What is the best thing i could do? He has also Obligation to my daughter. My daughter start to ask where is her father? I told her he was working overseas. Every time she ask that questions my heart melt and crying inside. My daughter is 5 1/2 year old and now living with my close friend in the Philippines who act as her foster parent on my absence while I am here in Thailand working to support my daughter.The father of my child is British national, he knew i was pregnant and he is the father. All proof that i have from him was the exchange of email that he admitted that he has child from me and the bank money transfer from his bank account from uk to Philippines but it only happened once. During my pregnancy period until my child was born i didn't hear anything from him. I tried to send email to him for the update of my child but i still didn't get any response.
And now I found him throughout the professional site called www.LinkedIn.com, He is presently working <snip>. I try to connect with him but he is ignoring me.What should I do? Your opinion and advice are highly appreciated.

Thank you very much!

I dont know, but both Brazil and the Philippines are REMO countries (reciprocal agreements, though I dont know if that means they have agreements with each other or just with the UK). Thailand isnt. I would think think that a court in the Philippines would need to be involved.

Thank you for stopping in at the Welcome Inn and introducing yourself and your problem. While this is not the place to answer your question and any future questions, I will refer you below to one of BE sites which might be of help.

I've limited knowledge of US immigration through a source of college studies in the field of US Immigration and one of the things studied was how an illegitimate child[ren] of a US citizen father can obtain US citizenship. I'm not sure if that information is the same for children born to a UK father. I imagine it is similar that the biological father must have acknowledged the child as theirs and if so, the child can apply for citizenship in the father's country. Will this help you get the father to pay child support? I don't know.

I am referring you to the following forum which might be assistance to you in the above. Citizenship/Passports and Spouse/Family Visas (UK) - British Expats

You might also find some answers to your questions on this BE site http://britishexpats.com/forum/philippines-155/ for the Philippines.

Good luck with helping your daughter unite with her biological father and perhaps gaining UK citizenship through this birth right (if the father has the right to pass on his UK citizenship).

It's not clear what the OP is hoping to achieve. Simply having the father take an interest in his daughter will differ greatly from trying to get him to pay child support or for the child to be able to claim her British passport. Clarification is needed.

No she was not clear but I rather give a newbie to our forums options of where to go to seek assistance since the Welcome Inn is NOT the place for a detailed discussion of her personal issues.

If a child is illegitimate, under Philippine law, the mother holds all parental rights, including obtaining a passport and removing the child; unless there is a court order to the contrary.

Thank you everyone for all your opinion and advice. I know this is not the right place to come to share my personal problem. I was just dropping by chance to get some ideas to solve this matter. Thank you for all your concern very much appreciated.

Thank you very much!

I would recommend you seek legal advice. This is not really the kind of situation where fellow posters can offer any meaningful help.

Hi skyg and welcome to BE

Unfortunately, you have posted a question in the Welcome Inn which is for introduction purposes only. After a read of the site rules for posting, please repost this in the proper forum/sub-forum.

So your daughter is living with you and her grandfather who is a living with you and her grandfather has claimed parental status of your daughter by his son. While your English is very good, perhaps you meant to write that HER father not his father (which would make your partner her grandfather).

I am unsure where you should repost but suggest both the Philippine forum and the Moving Back to the UK forum for information. All three sites can be found here:

Correct...the Welcome Inn is purely to meet and greet new members. That’s said...I have moved this thread out of the WI and into the Philippines forum.
