In a Filipino annulment case it is a legal requirement that every effort is made to inform the "other party" involved to give them the opportunity to come to court and voice any opinions.
On Mikaelas annulment papers in 2006 the judge has recorded that the "other party" played no part in the proceedings. Maybe he chose not to, maybe he could not be found. The embassy will read this and draw their own conclusions about the father.

She has written that her son has remained with her since that time and i assume her passport does not show any long periods out of the country leaving her son being looked after by her family.
sorry i was talking about the British embassies view point, the British embassy want evidence of 'sole responsibility' and that can be difficult to prove for some people especially if they live away from the child.

in Mickaela case I've posted already i wouldn't have thought she would have a problem, but how many times do you think the embassy hear the excuse that they don't know where the father is ? (thou I'm sure Mickaela doesn't thou )
