Fiancee Visa and complications

[Florge]

Hi... Have asked my sister who is a lawyer on this.. and my dad as well... so here goes:

It is illegal here in the phils, and therefore there's a criminal offense attached to this act to sign a birth certificate of the baby who is not your biological child. If you want the baby, it must go through the legal process of adoption. In this case, I believe there isn't. So, my sister suggests that you do not divulge this and ask the Aunt to not say anything about this or else she'll be imprisoned since it's her signature that appears on the document.

And since the Aunt is the legal mom of the baby (according to the birth certificate), what your gf can do is adopt her and go through the legal process of adoption... then once the adoption is done, apply for a visa for the child. And do not mention about the Aunt signing the birth certificate as the biological mom, or else, she'll be charged with this criminal offense... (did I just say this again? LOL)

I don't think there will be resistance from the Aunt as soon as she finds out that she's legally responsible for this...

Hope this helps...

I am very impressed!


ADOPTION is the only way...

even after adoption, you could still have the problem of 'sole responsibility'

hehehe.. thanks Zobel. Not my idea though. Just echoing what my sister said. Being in a family of lawyers has its advantage... and I get the advise I need for free!
