Not to start this up again, but I think Susan was destined for a bad end.

Harry didn't even know she existed and I don't think he'd even be listed as the father on her birth certificate. He's only known her for about a year as well. I don't know how many, if any parental rights he'd have under the law.

It doesn't matter that Harry isn't listed on a birth certificate or that he wasn't living with her. He has all the parental rights ... as soon as he proves he's her father. Maggie is an American by virtue of her parents citizenship ... as soon as Harry proves he's her father and does some paperwork. We don't actually know where Maggie was born, or if she was formally adopted by the Mendozas, or if all her paperwork was forgeries, so the dual citizenship question is up in the air for now.
@Dina: According to Google translate, apátridas is stateless in English. Makes sense. Probably from the same root word(s) as patriot, patriate, and repatriate. Social Security numbers were first issued on December 1, 1936, so Eb's original number, if he ever bothered to get one, would probably only show him as 150 or so. ;)
I doubt Harry has a record for any convictions. Plenty of arrests, so he has a long rap sheet. On the other hand, I imagine Maggie presents as someone who has been abused because she has been.
As Mira hinted with jury service eligibility, Harry is either registered to vote in Illinois or has Illinois state ID, most likely a driver's license. "Convicted felons may not be eligible for jury service, depending upon the age and nature of the felony." Illinois State Bar's A Guide to Jury Service. Though see g33k's caveat about proper procedures being followed.

Thanks! And yes, still complicated :)- Wizards advantage is that they mostly live offline, so at least there is not digital footprint of them and so, for many things, they don't exist.

I think Harry has a few misdemeanor convictions (but no felonies).

They are not going to take little Maggie away for that.

Every time he's arrested, "it's on principal" to quote FM. Weird stuff happens that, if not illegal, should be. Harry's arrested for it. They charge him with something they have no hard evidence for. It all goes away.
Or he's arrested for something minor, like his traffic violations in GP, and Murphy makes it go away.
I don't think he has any convictions. (I'm not counting speeding tickets and such).
