I am seeking your advice and assistance regarding my child’s situation. I have a son with a German citizen, who is his biological father. Unfortunately, the father has refused to have any contact with his child since birth. My son is now four years old, and his father has shown no interest in meeting or communicating with him.
We have already completed a DNA test confirming paternity. However, there has been no emotional or parental involvement from the father’s side. I have tried several times to reach out to him—asking if he could at least meet our child occasionally, even for a short visit in a public place—but he has repeatedly declined. He stated that he does not wish to see his son until the boy is grown up and able to visit him on his own.
This situation is very painful for me, as I do not want my child to grow up without knowing his father or his extended family. I am not trying to force a relationship, but I believe some minimal contact would benefit my child’s emotional well-being. Unfortunately, I do not have any family here in Germany to support me, and I am unsure what steps to take.
Could you kindly advise me on what options are available in such a case? Is there any legal or social service support that can help ensure at least limited contact between my child and his father?
Thank you very much for your time and understanding. I would be grateful for any guidance you can provide.
