Which form should I use
I am US Citizen, reside in Pennsylvania. My former wife with my son lives in Israel. I completely paid the whole amount of child support for my son prior to move from Israel to USA. My former wife asked me to apply for US Citizenship for my son. In order to do that I want to receive from my former wife a statement , which would protect me from any possible financial or legal demands from her in the future. Which form I should ask her to sign, General Affidavit or Indemnity Agreement?
Re: Which form should I use
You asked about immigration.
If either parent was a U.S. Citizen at the time of a child’s birth then the child is born a U.S. Citizen. There is no application necessary.
The child would need a passport to travel, which is a birthright of a U.S. Citizen. You can find how to do this online.
As to any agreement regarding support payments? You can’t create an enforceable agreement to waive payment in PA. Either the debtor paid and has proof or they didn’t pay.

Re: Which form should I use
If your son was born in the US then he’s already a citizen.
If she decides to take you to court in PA then no paperwork can prevent her from seeking child support. It doesn’t matter what your son’s citizenship is. According to the law of PA agreements not to seek child support are unenforceable.
If you have any questions feel free to contact me. The initial consultation is free.
