My partner who is a Kenyan citizen, lives with me in Ireland. She has a 10 year old son from a relationship she had with a German guy many years ago. Her family in Kenya are currently minding her son while she sends money to support him from her work in Ireland. The father initially supported her during her pregnancy but then cut off all contact and abandoned her and has never even seen his son. We assume he still lives in Germany but a letter from his sister earlier this year claimed that he died some time ago. Naturally, we are skeptical about this...
My question is, whether he is alive or dead, what can we do to seek some child support from the father or his estate? Also, what is the simplest way to establish whether he is actually alive or dead?
My understanding is that the guys family would be reasonably well off with an established business in Germany.
Any suggestions, help or guidance would be welcome.
