Q: How difficult would it be for a court in New York City judge to find the birth records of a child that is born outside the United States? The US State Department has a record that the child is born in Canada, has a US consular of birth record and has issued the child a US passport. The mother lives in New York City, and refuses to turn over the child for a paternity test. The courts/police in Canada cannot locate the child in Canada. The child could have been outside Canada and it is possible that under Canadian law there courts have no legal jurisdiction over the child. It is impossible to tell that the child is in Canada, the United States or in a another country. Because the child is born in Canada, the child could also be traveling abroad using a Canadian passport.
