If they move to the UK, you can calculate the minimum you will have to pay towards your child's keep.fac6 wrote: ↑Thu May 11, 2023 12:13 pm
As I thought I had been scammed, as a lot of Philippine girls are famous for dropping kids with foreigners and then getting money in support, I insisted on a DNA test. The results were it was my child but it was not an approved DNA by courts etc. It was a private company.

A contact of hers told me, she was trying to get citizenship for the child as she felt if the child was British she could get more money and entitlements.

From the costs, I suspect that they probably made an MN1 application, which would not be relevant as the child would have been a British citizen by descent from birth automatically (MN1 registration is for non-British citizen children to acquire British citizenship and a child who is already a British citizen can't register to become a British citizen).
I am fairly certain that your daughter can keep your name, even if she is adopted by another man. She can certainly change her name on or after her 18th birthday anyway. That sounds like a very spurious and tenuous argument.
The UK expects both parents to keep their child, even if they don't want to see that child. The courts take a dim view if they don't pay.
