Yes, of course, it is a long process, but it can be done.Depending on his status in the US, that could be a high mountain to climb. Unless he has any legal status in the US, how would he be asking courts for visitations? He also apparently had no interest in the child, not even believing her to be his. He'd have to prove first she is his biological child, and I don't think saying "she looks like me" would work.
No, I don't think we know if custody was ever established.Are we certain the grandmother has legal custody? I'm more than a little confused at this point. I know both young children live with her, but perhaps informally?

Based on Dulce's mother saying her parents have official custody of Dulce, we do.No, I don't think we know if custody was ever established.

Well, "official" custody sounds like she means legal custody so for now I'm assuming they did file, which is a good thing. The father would not be allowed to take the child without permission.Dulce's mother claims her parents have official custody of Dulce.
"She said she and her mother fought. “My mom kicked me out,” she said. “I was angry so much and not helping out. But because I had Dulce when I was 14, my parents loved her like she was their daughter and took official custody of her. I’m OK with it.”"

Oh, ok, then I guess they have joint custody. I don't know what she meant by official, then. I guess we would have to see the actual documents to know for sure. The important thing is that they did file.Mom of missing 5-year-old Dulce Alavez avoiding public after critical comments about her behavior
"Alavez Perez, who lives in an apartment near her parents, shares joint custody of Dulce with her mom and the kids live with her parents.
When she gave birth to Dulce at age 14, her parents had Dulce live with them because they didn’t think their daughter was responsible enough to care for her, she said. They love Dulce as if she is their own daughter, she said.
The entire family is struggling as they wait for word from police.
I agree. I don't think mother has legal custody of the child. Regarding the father, it doesn't sound like he ever even legally established paternity, because he didn't even believe a child was his but changed his mind based on child's looks (which really doesn't prove paternity).Well, "official" custody sounds like she means legal custody so for now I'm assuming they did file, which is a good thing. The father would not be allowed to take the child without permission.

I think joint custody is "unofficial" but officially her parents have custody. Children don't live with their mother, and mother neither works nor goes to school, so not even sure what her means of support are. So I don't think she would be awarded custody without having a job or other means of support. But her parents obviously let her to spend time with her children.Oh, ok, then I guess they have joint custody. I don't know what she meant by official, then. Imo

Dulce's father doesn't live in US. Apparently he didn't even believe he was the father but changed his mind based on Dulce's looks. Which doesn't even sound like he has any legal rights whatsoever as of now.JMO it sounds like the family has gone through all the proper channels involving custody. If the kids are enrolled in school, they know who has legal custody of the kids and they act accordingly. It's hard to game that system in NJ. I don't doubt it's exactly as she says ... she was young they got legal custody, and its up to the grandparents who watches the kids when they work, etc. Dad would have to have an agreement that the school has on file or be listed as an emergency contact to be able to pick them up at school, and would have to have a formal custody agreement to take the kid(s) unsupervised unless the grandparents say it's ok. They are the parents, essentially.
