Ok, to answer a few questions. My step son was born in Germany, his father is on the BC and paternity was established. With regards to the dual citizenship, the father was born from a military father which gave him dual. My bio son with my wife also has dual as he was born in Germany and my wife is still a a german citizen, I'm an American citizen.
So back to the original post, so now that we know paternity was established, does anyone think it would take a very long time to get results? As some might know, Germany isn't the quickest in getting things done.

Quoting Jay.E
Gator gave good advice, i just wanted clarification re: dad's status as legal father.
Here's what I would do: Have mom open a case with Child Support Services in Hawaii to get the ball rolling. She'll need to provide as much info as possible. Have her compile all of her paperwork and open a case with Child Support Services. She should provide as much information as possible about dad. If she knows where he works, that would be particularly helpful.
It probably won't be a fast process. If you feel that Child Support Services is giving you the runaround regarding reciprocity, contact a local attorney for some additional help. Persistence is key. That's the best place to start.
And thank you for satisfying my curiosity re: dad's dual citizenship issue. -
