my fiancee has a 2yr old son, who has his fathers surname on his birth certificate ..they never married and seperated soon after she gave birth ..

the father does see his son from time to time, although i beleive only through pressure from his mother... the only support the father has ever given is when his son is at his house, he will then buy the milk but only while his son is at his mothers house ..

i know for sure we will never get the fathers permmision to take his son to england, mainly because his mother would be telling him to object ...

i need to know where this leaves us on a legal matter ...we have decided to marry first in the philippines then apply for a spouse visa and of course we want a visa for her son to ..we both love him very much..

thanks in advance ..
