My impression was that the mother is just afraid that the situation will spin out of control, for instance if Stern were to "disappear" with the baby.
However, from the sound of it (and I would like to be shown otherwise), perhaps the legal advice she's getting isn't the best.
Those on Stern's side seem to be laughing up their sleeve at this move. They say he has no intention of moving the baby. Because in the Bahamas, he is legally the baby's father and will always be. That he will never have to take a paternity test to prove anything. Because under Bahamian law the father is whoever is listed on the birth certificate.
So they say the little girl is his daughter according to the Bahamas and nobody else can do anything about it. Made me so mad I wanted to wring his neck. (or worse)
Except....Stern may soon be homeless and has no job in the Bahamas. He can either leave Dannilynn there or take her with him. I think the court filing was so he can't choose option #2.
Even if the person is not a citizen of the Bahamas he is legally the baby's father? That makes no sense. And doesn't Anna's residency come into play? Didn't she have a home in Ca?
I saw Virgie on Rita Cosby last night. She seems sincere in her fear he will harm the baby.
