Hello Rob

You may proceed how you mention and then see how it goes; as I mentioned, they study each particular case. I recommend to register his birth indicating the names of both his parents from the beginning.

Regarding how ling it takes, I can´t quite a number; it depends in each CR.

Any parent of a Spanish child can apply for a Family settlement residence permit. This procedure does not take long to be processed.

Please feel free to contact us by email to discuss the case further and determine whether we can offer legal assistance.
