He indicated that the case extended over several hearings until the scientific test was carried out that confirmed the filiation.\n\nThe legal representative specified that, although the sentence had already been issued, a delay occurred due to an error by the laboratory that performed the DNA test, which did not record Anthony Santos’ ID number. He explained that this information is essential for the Civil Registry officer to correctly register the minor in the birth register. “The Civil Registry officer needs not only the name of Domingo Antonio Santos Mu\u00f1oz, but also the ID number, because there may be repetition of names,” explained Balc\u00e1cer, noting that this situation caused the process to take longer than expected.\n\nRegarding possible child support, the lawyer assured that the child’s mother has neither demanded nor suggested any amount, nor has she formally empowered any court for such purposes. “She has neither demanded nor suggested it, and nobody is a mind reader,” he stated, revealing that last year they asked the legal representative of the child’s mother to present an amount that would cover the child’s needs, however, to this day, no agreement has been reached on the child’s child support.\n\nBalc\u00e1cer indicated that the law establishes that a prior conciliation process must be carried out before the Public Ministry of the corresponding peace court, which can be avoided if both parties reach an agreement. “If we reach an agreement, the Public Ministry and the judge are replaced; if not, then it goes to trial,” he affirmed.\n\nRegarding the stance the artist’s defense will take, the lawyer stated that they will continue to maintain a passive position, prioritizing the child’s best interests and respecting his mother. “That child must be respected and thought of. She is a lady and deserves respect,” he maintained.\n\nFinally, he reiterated his call for an understanding between the parties to avoid a prolonged legal process. “If she wants a lawsuit, there are legal resources; but I advise her not to sue and that we reach an agreement,” he concluded.\n\nThe lawyer’s statement comes after Dr. Carmen Taveras publicly denounced in different media outlets that the artist refused to recognize her son. In his statements, the legal representative of the renowned bachatero assured that the lady’s position arises with the interest of harming the artist, given that he refused to want to maintain a sentimental relationship with her.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
