terpe, thanks a lot for taking your time to give me all this informations.its much appreciated.
my daughter just turned 15 last month.i am with her now with my two sons.we were here since february last year.
i wasnt married to her biological father and he hasnt helped me at all with her since she was born.he left me when i was still 6 months pregnant with her and he is not married.the reason he signed the birth certificate was my mum and his mum were very close friends and they thought that it will be beneficial for the child to be recognized by him legally.but i spoke to him and he is willing to give an affidavit that he has nothing to do with her and it is true.everyone in the neighborhood could testify to it and the schools as well as it has been me and then my husband paying for everything.
