Re: Legal help for child.
Law of Pakistan is not applicable on the US Citizens.
If the father is Pakistani, then he is liable to maintain his minor children but in Pakistan and not abroad. Suit for maintenance lies in Family Court of Pakistan in area of her residence.
A minor cannot be taken out of jurisdiction of Court except to with permission.
Where major person is mentally incapacitated, father is not responsible compulsorily. It becomes social matter rather legal.
