My second child is not registered in my I.D. card . My wife (whom I divorced and remarried before she got pregnant with the second child) left me during the pregnancy and I was not present at the birth. I have good contact with both my children now,and reasonable communication with my 'ex' who has remarried. How can I get myself registered as the father of my second child?

If you were still married (though separated) around the time of the second birth, then you can try and get your paternity registered at the Ministry of Interior, preferably with your ex's co-operation.If the Ministry of Interior refuses, then you can bring legal proceedings, through a lawyer, for a declaratory judgment declaring you to be the father,so that the Ministry of Interior will be ordered to register your paternity.
