Re: alimony and child care

under section 336 Civil Code you can claim alimony from presumed father - As a principle the father can recognise the child but your consent is needed (provision 319 C.C.) - If not given, the father can start proceedings in recognition under the same section 319 C.C., par.2 etc....Kidnapping is a crime. How can you anticipate on the commission or not of such a crime? I see no possibility in preventing such a crime. The father can get a visitation right if he requests it, the more if he pays alimony money.
