A girl I've been dating informed me that she is pregnant and that I am the father. We both work in Korea but neither is a citizen. I am American (US Service member stationed here) and naturally want any child of mine to have US citizenship.
I have some doubts as the weeks of pregnancy vs time-line of when we've been together just doesn't line up.
However, I want to plan for both contingencies while at the same time:
(1)prevent an erroneous financial obligation in case the child turns out NOT to be mine
(2)ensure all appropriate medical test/check ups are performed in case the baby is mine
(3)Perform all the steps needed to get US citizenship for the child and apply for residence for the mother when I move back to the states.
Two caveats are:
(1)The mother is not interested in a pre-natal paternity test due to risks. I cannot get pre-natal care w/o this.
(2)If it is my child my preference would be to take child and mother to the states when I return w/o marriage. If marriage is required I want a prenupt waiving spousal support and my retirement as community property.
Is there any type of attorney I can hire that can both represent me from the paternity/prenupt standpoint and the citizenship standpoint? How much should I expect to pay? Also, if anyone has any links or information regarding situations like this it would really help. I haven't been able to locate a case like this and the DHS staff at the Embassy have not return my inquiry email.
Thanks
