Q: Mother is married for immigration purposes. How can the husband disestablish paternity without going to court?
Mother married an immigrant so he can get his green card. Biological father wants to see his kids but the mother refuses to let him see his children. He took her to court and told the judge she is married. By law the immigrant is the legal father. The biological father hasn’t seen his children in over a year. Can the biological father have any way to go around this? He is in Florida the mother & children are in AL. They have an on going court case. She left without his permission. How can he get custody of his kids. The immigrant has nothing to do with the mother. They live in seperate states. She never had a relationship with this man. The biological father has been her boyfriend for 16 years.
A: You can get all of this done with a court order, but you can't do it without going to Court. The mother should file a paternity action in the county where she and the children live.
