I have done what your asking. Many pro/con about this. If you have more specific questions just ask. The topic is HUGE. you can pm me or just post any.
On your OP, your concern is family court. That's a valid concern and in some locations, you will have far more control and no fear of family court. If you have a daughter, in some locations it is perfectly acceptable to enforce chaperones with teenagers and even 20 years old. If you want to really care and teach/assist the child you will have the right to do so.
I assume you want to go set up a family of your own and take care of it. Much better choice than doing the same in the US.
If you just want to have a child and be remote while the woman takes care of them it is a bad idea. Bad for you, her, and the child. But probably great for some other guy that will be living near her and taking what you give for the child. I actually see this setup ALL the time. It's called something different but essentially is what you're asking if being remote is the plan.
