I a son who is now 3 years and 5 months of age. I came to know about him just after his 3rd birthday (December 2013) through his grandmother.

My ex-girlfriend got pregnant and just disappeared without my knowledge And with the assistance of her mother. While a way, she met an other man she got married with and gave him the paternity of my son. And later on she gave birth a baby-girl.

Furthermore, when I asked the reason why, I got:

1. Grand mother: She was afraid that I take the boy along with me after completion of my master degree. She wanted to live with her first and unique grandson.

2. Ex-girlfriend: She was worried in my concern in the case if I negated the fact. And being student at that time, she said that she wanted to avoid a psychological break for both of us.

In January, I had the chance to spend 10 days with my son and his grandmother, and realised that he was not receiving necessary care such as healthcare, need of education, hygienic and safe environment.

I have been trying to convince both
my son's grandmother and mother to let me take care of my son and that it's my right and responsibility to provide necessary care for my son.

The grandmother is willing and has tried to convince her daughter, but my ex-girlfriend is still holding on the truth about my son eventhough her husband knows that he is not the biological father. She said that she is afraid to loose both her daughter and husband in one side, and her son the other side.

How and what should I do to get custody of my son?
 
You need a lawyer. You will also need a DNA test to PROVE your paternity. Without a court order, you have no rights. So, I suggest you see that lawyer ASAP. The lawyer will advise you of the law in the country where the baby resides. This is a US based law forum.

One thing is the same the world over, you get the best results available by hiring a lawyer. In the mean time, just relax, be friendly, and wait.
 
I'm not sure a paternity test would be required (or even used at all!) to be honest.

If we know the country though, the resident information gatherer might dig something up (read: Google is sick of me) :)
 
The country where it happened is Thailand.

Read this:

http://www.thailand-family-law-center.com/thailand-paternity-rights/

Read this:

Summarily, a child born to parents that are married to each other is considered the legitimate child of the husband and wife. A child born out of wedlock is, in general, considered the legitimate child of the mother. Accordingly, a birth mother's legal rights are automatic but the father's rights are not. A common misconception is that a father's name on a birth certificate establishes paternal rights, but this claim is incorrect.

Under operation of Thai law, and the law in most countries, the child legally has a mother and a father. It's the married woman's HUSBAND.

Thailand is a kingdom. The laws appear odd to those living in republics, democracies, etc...

Plus, the baby's mother is married, if I recall.

As is the case in many kingdoms/monarchy led states, some innocuous acts committed in other countries become monumental near CRIMES. Adultery can be costly to the interloper, especially if he's male, illegitimate child and parental rights aside.
Start making waves about the baby, seek custody and removal of the child from the kingdom, the husband can sue you!

Ahh, yes, delicious irony. I do so love a good story.

You might want to see one of my brothers (a lawyer) at the Thai Bar.


Be smart, or you could be in hot water.
