Single Parent Rights in DR

[Josecito99]

What are the legal rights of single mothers (or the rights of the child) in DR when:

1) the father of the child is an american citizen

2) No marriage, but father and mother lived together for a period of 4 months before the child was born

3) the mother is over the age of 21

4) the child is 1 year in age

I know this is a broad question but I want to get an idea of what legal rights total parties involved have.

[Fabio J. Guzman]

The child has the right to your support for his or her food, lodging, clothing, health care, recreation, education etc. (Articles 170 and 171 of Law #136-03 - "Codigo del Menor").

You are under no obligation toward the mother.
