Isn't the VFS for visa applications only? Paternity is a consular matter. The U. S. and the EU is different AFAIK.

No. Again for the second time: I am British, I have a half Khmer son who was born here in Cambodia, and I have already been through this process. The embassy is not involved at any stage in the process of proving paternity and getting his passport.

Same here, the only way my (Netherlands) embassy was involved was to legalize Cambodian documents (confirming they were coming from the claimed source). Now there’s a new treaty this is no longer needed.
But, there’s no way I could have done it without cooperation of the mother. Both parents needed to approve.
Three years ago, when renewing the passport at the embassy in Bangkok, a permission from mother was required by the embassy for just the renewal.

I applied for the child’s foreign passport with the sole custody documents instead of the mother’s signature. It was a big hassle but they didn’t need any more documents than I already had so I could respond quickly to their emailed requests.

Officially I’m supposed to have some stamps from the MoFAIC. I only made one attempt at getting them and it was rather... interesting. After waiting for an hour the lady turned up, took a quick glance at the papers from the court, looked at me and began to shout: “outside! outside!”. This annoyed me greatly, after all I had waited for an hour for this meeting, so I pretended not to understand. “Pardon?”, I said, and she raised her voice: “OUTSIDE! OUTSIDE!”. “What? Where?” I said, trying hard to contain my laughter. “OOOUUUTSIIIDE!!!” I never got the stamps. What a bitch.

To the OP:

Could you put some periods in your messages so we can understand it?

I think you may have some chance of success , but you definitely need to talk to a good lawyer and need to start collecting the evidence.

Can you prove she works in a bar? That may work in your favor.

Take videos of their aggression.

Definitely stop giving them money and don’t give
In to her demand for 50k. Sounds like you’re dealing with a psycho.

Lets also not forget your relentless drinking and cheating and verbal abuse of So*** and you telling her on her fb that you knew how much of a idiot you was when you was at home at christmas.

OP is a troll

I would take a different approach. I would say you want what's best for the child, for example going to a good school. I would tell her she gets nothing unless she does the right thing. For the beginning she may say you don't get to see the child. In time she will most likely also want what is best for the child, and come back to you being reasonable. You need to say it, and your actions need to prove you mean what you say.

Cambodian women can be manipulative to the extreme, and people who have not experienced this before don't understand. To her it is just a game. If you don't submit to her game, she should change.

Give her nothing while she is being unreasonable. Only reward doing the right thing.

You just lost right there. SHE doesn’t get anything. Child support is for the CHILD. By denying the CHILD their child support you are acting like a CHILD letting your difficulties with the mother affect the child.

Parents don’t have rights. The child has a right to both parents. What goes on between you and the mother should never affect the child, and if it does you lose.
