Good Grief! I can't believe it's on youtube! WOW
That poor child. With ANS dead, custody is very much at issue. No matter who the father is, both parents are US citizens, so I would think that jurisdiction could be established in some state here in the US.
I hope that Birkhead's attorney can serve something on Stern before he leaves the US and hitails it back to the Bahamas. Paternity of that poor little girl must be conclusively established. And it might be easier to get paternity testing done with the passing of ANS. Ironic as that sounds.
Actually, ANS's mother should consider going for interim custody until paternity is established. She is the closest known relative to the child if Stern and ANS didn't have a legal ceremony. I would think that she would have standing to contest Stern's "parental" rights.
