Asking for advice: I have a kid with my Vietnamese ex-girlfriend, while already being married with kids. I have never seen the child and no emotional bond. While I support financially and therefore don't deny my fatherhood, there is no legal mention of me on the birth certificate and I wonder whether there is a time limit for the kid to request being officially recognised as mine? The implication of me being officially the father would be significant when it comes to heritage. In other words, I prefer not to be recognized in an official manner.
Any experience or advice up to when the kid can take legal action as to become recognized?
