Any information on the Chilean Family Court System

I would doubt that Australia's laws, or any foreign country's laws, would apply completely or overrule Chile's laws when the father is a foreign citizen, the mother is a Chilean citizen, and thus the child is most likely considered a Chilean citizen, and then considering that any and all legal actions if any would be taking place in Chile...

This is clearly a matter for a Chilean law profesional - you are not likely to get correct and comprehensive information about such an important and complicated matter on any internet forum where literally anyone can say anything.

You could start, though, by seeing what governmental organizations in Chile have jurisdiction, and what legal structures they operate under.

Here, information about Juzgados de Familia and a link to Derecho de Familia:

Thank you so much !

Hi Michael, maybe you need to contact a lawyer specialized with family matter, the only advice that I can give you in this case it that compare the prices between differente lawyers because there are much difference for the same process (At least in my experience). There is an institution called INCAMI although is specialized in migration (and your case is like a kind migration but with a special condition) maybe you can contact their juridic department , this is the link:  incami.cl/asesoria-juridica/

PD: Another option that can be useful for you https://www.chileatiende.gob.cl/fichas/ … y-gratuita
