My wife has a child 5 yrs old with a previous relationship. They were never married. The father abandoned them 4 years ago because my wife found out that he was already married with a wife working overseas. He told her he was single. My wife does not know his address, but only that he is in the Philippine Air force and she believes she knows what base. Am I supposed to put the biological father address in the DS-260 for my step-son or can I leave it blank or put in unknown? We would need to ask questions to people of his address, but really don't want to. He does not provide support for our son nor does he visit him. No relationship at all.

If it's unknown that's the answer it's the truth :yes: but somehow his permission will be needed if he is on his birth certificate I would assume when the time come for the child to leave the country....

In the PI the mother automatically has sole custody over a child who was born out of wedlock.

Yes we were told she has custody because of that plus she has a letter from him to the Philippine Air force saying that he is not the father because the air force was investigating the situation and he was trying to cover himself. We can use that letter for custody.

In the Philippines, if the child is born out of wedlock, the mother automatically has sole custody. This is even the case if the father is listed on the birth certificate. No authorization is necessary, other than from the mother.
