I have never known to have a daughter till one of my school friends contacted me on facebook and let me know via a sms that I have a 12 years old daughter with her. I emmediatelly wanted to see her and did not first the first 6 months before she agreed to send the daughter from cape town to durban to see me alone? She adviced me that we should not do a DNA cause its to traumatic for the child. During this time it got exposed how she lied to me abt many things and then demanded a DNA and she refused and refused the child to have contact with me. It was very hard for me to comply developed huge stress, high blood pressure. Its been very traumaticfor me and the child and now she has decided for us to have contact again. This mom is n ot stable and not rigt for this child she is heavily overweight and dominates as she pleases, what are my rights regarding this?
You should register the case for full investigation with your local Office of the Family Advocate. They will then make a recommendation regarding residence and contact with the child. This you should then make an order of the court, so as to force the mother to comply.
