Why would his family demand that his son remain in the philippines, i don't think they can do that,
specially with what you just said that the father never really supported the kid, so you just have to establish and prove that in court.....
"10% of life is made up of what happens to you, 90% is decided by how you react"
"The way to love anything is to realize that it may be lost"
its not the phils gov that will be giving him a visa to live in the uk, its the British embassy, so phil law has little to do with it
sure she might have custody and sole responsibility, but if his father/family protested about the son leaving to the embassy it could cause some problems. last thing the embassy want is to be stuck in the middle of a fight btw 2 parents or families..
is the father mentioned on his birth cert ?
you mention he sees his son how often ?
If I were you I would just apply for the visa, state that she has full parental responsibility for her son, that the childs father does not support him in any way, hasn't been in contact since shortly after the child was born and that his whereabouts are uknown.
If you actually get in touch with the father or his family and tell him or them of your intentions, it's likely to cost a packet, so if it's at all possible, just keep very quiet about your plans, apply for the visa and see how it goes.
might not be so straight forward, if he is named on the birth cert.
a problem with that if the embassy find the father or member of his family and if the embassy realise this is not true, tell a lie then wave your visa goodbye.. trying to obtain a visa by deception.. i'm not saying this would happen, but you have to realise the worse case scenario and the results of your actions.
if he is named on the birth cert, can you not buy the father off and get him to write a letter stating he wishes his son to join his mother and live in the uk ? is your g/f on talking terms with him ?
