I believe US law CAN reach her. She is a US citizen because her mother was a US citizen, and so are both of the wannabe fathers (at least the two who have taken legal measures to assert that claim -- number three may be the first in a long line of tag-along wannabe fathers, and I suspect even Anna Nicole didn't really know for sure who the father was). Being born there does not make the baby a citizen, though it gives her the right to register as a citizen once she's 18 or older. http://www.multiplecitizenship.com/wscl/ws_BAHAMAS.html I believe the paternity suit has been filed in a US court, and since it concerns a minor US citizen, the Bahamian government is likely to be cooperative (probably required by treaty). Since wannabe papa Stern is not a Bahamian citizen, the Bahamian government has no reason to side with him against the US government. In fact, at this point, I imagine they'd be happy to get rid of both him and the baby by sending them home on an extradition order.
Thank you for the info. Makes perfect sense. Except fot the fact that Bahamian government employees have been known to take bribes. Maybe not in this high profile case.
