A friend of mine has an ex husband in another country.
She separated from him when pregnant. He made threats and his name was omitted from birh certif. so he could not obtain a passport. Baby was born years ago, she filed for the divorce, it was granted. She has sole parental custody, he is the legal father. No contact with minor child til he petitions the court, but he denies he is the father, refuses to do dna but harasses my friend, and myself online via emails and he was given a physical address should he ever file papers to serve her for court. She doesnt know where he resides now.
He and his girlfriend, harasses her online, stalked her online and on a site, gave their email address. She has asked him to do the dna or leave her alone and move on with his life as she has as he has never shown any interest in their child and though he has seen photos, he denies he is the father though she looks so much like him, but to clear himself he should file.
He claims she has stopped him from seeing their child and denied him access to a child that could be his, as alledged.
HOW can she stop him? She had asked him in the past to be involved and she came back with such nasty emails from them both saying he does not care about her child, has proof he cannot father children and other things they both so, but vehemently denying he is the father, but carries on harassing.
She plans on closing the email account down as they have a physical address, but he claims he is taking her to court to prove she denied him access to their child, and he will seek custody, though he has not sent a post card or anything for over 5 years to the child and still rants about how he is not the father and does not care and will do anything to help authorities take away her rights to give him custody, though my friend has as I said sole parental reponsibility, has provided for her child, makes sure the childs needs are met before her own!
Couldn't she terminate his parental rights based on extreme parental disinterest? He refuses to do the dna and I guess feels he can walk into the court room and want to be father of the year. She has been waiting for him to take her to court for years now and he says for her to file. Court told her HE had the DNA and is disputing it, its not up to you to file, it is up to him.
What can she do to get this resolved, its a weird situation and its bad enough he denies a child they created when married out of love, soon as she mentions divorce he changes his tune and is not the father and claims to have medical proof.
Any suggestions I can give to her?
