Custody of children is one of the most intense aspects in family litigation. A custody battle could be an independent case or a mere incident in an annulment/separation case. Some basic matters pertaining to child custody under Philippine laws are discussed below.
In custody disputes, what is the paramount criterion?
The paramount criterion in custody disputes is the welfare and well-being of the child, or the best interest of the child. The court, in arriving at its decision as to whom custody of the minor should be given, must take into account the respective resources and social and moral situations of the contending parents. Nevertheless, this primordial rule can override the rights of one or both parents over their children.
What is the general rule as to custody over children?
The general rule is that a child under seven years of age shall not be separated from his mother, which is based on the basic need of a child for his mother’s loving care. Article 213 of the Family Code provides that “[n]o child under seven years of age shall be separated from the mother, unless the court finds compelling reasons to order otherwise.” This is more pronounced in case of illegitimate children, as the law expressly provides that illegitimate children shall be under the parental authority of their mother.
Is this rule absolute?
This rule is not absolute. Even a mother may be deprived of the custody of her child who is below seven years of age for “compelling reasons.” Instances of unsuitability are neglect, abandonment, unemployment and immorality, habitual drunkenness, drug addiction, maltreatment of the child, insanity, and affliction with a communicable illness. Negligent and careless failure to perform the duties of parenthood is a significant element of abandonment, regardless of actual intention. A strong basis for a finding of the parent’s abandonment of his or her child is found in the case where the parent has left the child permanently or indefinitely in the care of others, given it to another, or surrendered it entirely.
I left my child with a relative, even signing a document to such effect. Am I barred from taking back my child?
Parental authority and responsibility are inalienable and may not be transferred or renounced except in cases authorized by law. The right attached to parental authority, being purely personal, the law allows a waiver of parental authority only in cases of adoption, guardianship and surrender to a children’s home or an orphan institution. When a parent entrusts the custody of a minor to another, such as a friend or godfather, even in a document, what is given is merely temporary custody and it does not constitute a renunciation of parental authority. Even if a definite renunciation is manifest, the law still disallows the same.
Is the court bound by such preference of a child below 7 years of age?
While such choice is given respect, the court is not bound by that choice. The court may exercise its discretion by disregarding the child’s preference should the parent chosen be found to be unfit, in which instance, custody may be given to the other parent, or even to a third person. Decisions on custody of children are always open to adjustment as the circumstances may warrant.

“A custody case could be an independent case or a mere incident in an annulment/separation cae” – can someone who has a pending custody case subsequently file a separate annulment case? Is this not “splitting the cause of action”?

ok ganito ang gawin nyo, pumunta muna kayo sa barangay, kung hindi ito maayos kumuha kayo nang abogado para kumunsulta. at pag katapos ay mag sulat kayo sa asawa na magkakaroon ng legal na demandahan kung hindi siya magko-comply, at kung walang sagot pwede na kayong mag tungo sa piskal para sa paunang meeting at pag d naayos sa korte na kayo maghaharap.
kung gusto mo naman ng madali kidnapin mo ang mga taong mahalaga sa kanya at sbhn mo na palit ulo. yun, ewan ko na lng kung di pa ibigay yan,
i loved the latter! 😀
Nice

Hi atty. Pwede nyo po ba ako advice about sa custody ng anak ko actually since birth ako naman talaga nag alaga nag palaki emotionally physically mentally at financially ako naman talaga gumagawa para sa mga anak ko kasi mahalaga sila sa akin kaya lahat ginagawa ko para sa kanila.. separated po ako sa tatay ng mga anak ko at since seperated ako ni minsan hindi nya po kinakamusta or dalawin mga bata sa school pero bakit po ganun hirapan po ako kunin yung consent nya para sa 13yrs old ko na anak na gusto ko po isama sa ibang bansa bakit napakahirap po yun gawin.. at at pwede po ba ako mag file ng custody na sa akin nalang po talaga yung custody ng anak ko? Paano po first step na dapat po gawin? Please help nyo po ako. Salamat po
Attorney.. gusto ko po Sana mg file ng petition of support ung tatay ng anak ko sa una kso Sabi nya po wala po syang trabaho.paano po ba gagawin ko?
Good po atty.
Gusto ko lang po malaman kung ano po ang pwedi gawin o mga papers na kailngan upang “makapag aral sa switzerland ang aking kapatid na 7 years old” nasa Switzerland na po ang aking ama at nandito sa Pilipinas ang aking ina , anulled na po ang kasal nila at kasal na sa switzzerland ang aking ama at nais nya po sana na makapagaral doon ang aming bunso, payag naman po ang aking ina na makapag aral ang aking kapatid dun.. gusto lang po namen malaman kung anu ano ang mga papeles na dapat ihanda upang maisakatuparan ito.. maraming salamat po
I do believe n klangan nyo prin ng written consent from your mom since ung kpatid mu is still minor and s DSWD ata ung consent mngagaling or in the presence of DSWD…secondly of course nka petition b sya from your father or pupunta sya ng switzerland for a student visa?or a visit visa must be needed po…..or the better thing to do is consult a legal expert on the matter at hand.

ramonsd, there’s no prohibition against the proper party to file a petition for annulment notwithstanding the pendency of a petition for custody. The certification against forum shopping in the subsequent petition for annulment would most probably state the pending custody proceedings, and the latter would most probably be consolidated with the subsequent petition for annulment. I suggest you pursue to dissect this matter, with the help of other students of law, at the Bar Exams Forum.
we would like to talk to you and have some advise regarding this matter.
can we have your contact number pls .
It would be an honor to have you by our side in our battle.
Hello Atty,
I need your advise. I have my son with me here in US. I brought him with me when je was 7. We are from Philippines. His father was not in the pic since after he turn 6 years old. My problem is, I just got my naturalization and wanted to apply for US passport. However, they can’t issue my son a passport because they need his father’s consent. How can I obtain my son’s passport without his father’s consent since he is nowhere to be found? I tried to communicate with him once through facebook but he blocked me. I need your advice atty.

Tinatakot po nya ako na iprove nya daw po sa korte na immoral ako dahil may iba na po at ayaw ko na sya balikan pero d po kmi kasal. Salamat po
Hi atty. Nais ko lng po humingi ng advice kung ano po ang pwede kong gawin upang makasama ko ulit ang mga anak ko. 8yrs. po kaming nagkasama ng tatay ng mga anak ko ni ko sya natutunang mahalin, awa lng po ang nararamdaman ko sa kanya. Nagkaroon po kami ng dalawang anak 10yrs old at 6yrs old na cla ngayon. Akala ko po noong una matutunan ko lng syang mahalin, nagkaroon kami ng bahay at stable business ng dahil sa tulong ng aking ina. Ang akala ko sapat na sa akin kung ano ang meron ako, pero narealize ko na hindi nga talaga ako masaya sa kinakasama ko, dahil d ko inaasahan na magkagusto pa ako sa ibang lalaki na kung tutuusin may asawa na ako. D ko po inaasahan sa buhay ko na darating sa buhay ko ang ganitong sitwasyon. Pero dahil may asawa na ako pinipigilan ko po ang sarili ko na madala ako sa damdamin ko, hanggang nag desisyon ako sa asawa ko na makikipaghiwalay na lng ako sa kanya dahil gusto ko ng space sa sarili ko, dahil alam ko na makasalanan ang magmahal na alam kong commited na ako. Kinakausap ko po sya ng maayos pero d sya pumayag hanggang dumating kami sa punto na nag aaway kami dahil sa ayokong magpagamit sa kanya. Lagi nya po akong ginagamitan ng baril, tinatakot nyapo ako sa baril nya pag gusto nya akong gamitin. pinipilit nya po akong gamitin hanggang sa nagka problema ang aking ….3 beses po ako lumapit ng ob gyne, hanggang sa kinausap ng ob gyne ang asawa ko naSir,” hindi dapat pilitin ang asawa na gamitin kung ayaw magpagamit dahil may karapatan din kaming umayaw. Sa gabing iyon, sinabihan nya ako na d pa matatapos ang taong ito (it was Dec.19) mamatay tayong dalawa kaysa mapunta ka sa ibang lalaki. kaya nag decide akong lumayas dahil sa sobrang takot ko, iniwan ko po ang mga anak ko dahil natatakot po ako sa mga banta niya sa akin, iniwan ko rin po ang mga anak ko ngdahil sa mga magulang kodahil sa sobrang mahal ng mga magulang ko ang mga anak ko. Yan po ang pinakamalaking pinagsisihan ko sa buhay ko ang iniwan ko ang mga anak ko dahil sa takot at sa mga magulang ko. Almost 3 yrs na po hindi ko nakikita ang mga anak ko dahil galit po lahat pamilya ko sa akin dahil lumayas daw ako ng hindi binitbit ang mga anak ko. Tanggap ko po ang pagkakasala ko pero isa din akong ina sa mga anak ko, gusto ko ring makasama ang mga anak ko. Atty. pls humihingi po ako ng tulong sa inyo kung ano po ang pwede kong gawin ng makasama ko rin ang mga anak ko. May kinakasama na po ako ngayon atty.
Hindi kayo kasal? Wag kang matakot, pwede mong ilabas ng bansa ang anak mo. Kuha ka lng ng DSWD Clearance (kung menor de edad) para sa anak mo. Kailangan mo kumuha ng Cenomar (Certificate of No Marriage) sa NSO, to prove na di kayo kasal ng tatay. Im not a lawyer but i had that same case as you before. Good thing na di kayo kasal, hindi mo na kailangan humingi ng consent sa tatay ng anak mo para maikuha ng passport o travel clearance (given na di talaga kayo kasal ha).
Sec. 7 of A.M. No. 03-04-04 on THE RULE ON CUSTODY OF MINORS gives respondent 5 days from personal service of summons and a copy of petition within which to reply. A RTC (Family Court) where one such custody petition was filed gave respondent 15 days within which to do so.
I was wondering about the discrepancy and whether or not it is merely too trivial a detail to even consider. I am of the position that the spirit of the SC rule recognizes that child custody proceedings are impressed with more urgency compared to other civil proceedings. That is why shorter compliance periods were specified.
Is AM No. 03-04-04 still applicable?
please help me…
my cousin had a live-in partner, they separated last year.
they had a daughter, she’s 3yrs old now.
the child used my cousin’s surname.
the mother had another baby from another man that left her just before she gave birth last month.
she’s been demanding child support.
it worries him because the support might not be given fully to his daughter.
she has no job, no source of income.
and is facing several theft charges from her 3 previous landlords.
are these considered “compelling reasons” for her to be deprived of the child’s custody?
and is my cousin entitled for his daughter’s custody?
A far as the law dictates, your cousin is obliged to give financial support to his daughter regardless if the mom already has a family of her own,the fact is that its not your concern where the financial support would go as long as your paying the support….She as the mom may use it to whatever she wants to use it as long as its for the benefits of the daughter..Give her a chance to be a mother, do not monitor her that much.
bigfatmama, my dilemma is this – I’d end up giving a legal advice on the matter if I proceed to answer your question. As repeated countless of times in this Forum, we’re prohibited from giving any legal advice. There are other circumstances that should be considered, and these are matters that are properly within the competence of your retained counsel. I hope you understand.

Just an inquiry. I’m quite confused with this line “The general rule is that a child under seven years of age shall not be separated from his mother, which is based on the basic need of a child for his mother’s loving care.”. Now, does it have to be that me and my wife should be legally separated for this general rule to apply? Or even if our marriage still exists, this general rule still applies? thanks ahead.
The Rule is not absolute..
I hear if married father has right if disagreement..so I belive so and its explained by other lawyer that seen this.money in couet they will not desperate but that’s if married ..I’m on this issue also.
Hello Atty! My sister is working in Italy as domestic helper.Her 3 children are left under the custody of the father. The husband has been jobless since they got married. The couple is also undergoing marital problems. My sister wants to file custody for her children because she is also experiencing emotional blackmail from his husband.Will she get the custody even if she is not physically present to give maternal love? Does she have the right to choose who will take care of her children, if ever she gets the custody. Her eldest child is now 8 years old, but she was born before they got married, and application for legitimation has not yet been applied.please help her. Is it also possible to file for the case even she´s abroad?
My husband has a 2-yr old illegitimate son under his custody. The boy’s mother acquiesced since she’s unemployed and with 3 elder children from past relationships. I plan to adopt him. How do we go with it? I very much anticipate your reply. Thank you so much.

Hi, please give me insight about my situation. I am married for 4 years now, living with my in-law (his mom). Every time my husband and I have disagreements, he would tell me to leave the house, telling me that I’m just a sampid, border lang sa bahay nila. The reason that I stay is because he wants the custody of our 3 year old. Ayaw ko nalang sana ng skandalo, I just want to bring our child with me. I know my rights as a mother but knowing my husband, we will just be doing tug-of-war over our daughter. I want to go back to my parents house which is only blocks away from where we live now and I’m afraid of the scandal it might create. Please tell me what initial steps I must do if the situation gets out of hand. Should I go to the baranggay, police or dswd. I want to do this in a civil way. Please help me. Thanks!

Hello Atty,
I was legally married and have 3 children. My 13 years old choose to live with his father. My problem is how can I take back my 13 years old son. He is not well taken care of his father, he is out of school, only stays/sleep in his father’s house 2 for 2 nights and the rest of the days and night is spent to a family that his father supported. My son is lavishly provided of money more than he can manage at his age, he is allowed by his father to drive car and single motorcycle in the city or anywhere without license since he is a minor. I am so worried of my son. Atty I am married to an American.
Please help me

I adopted a baby (Note: adoption paper still on going). The baby was abandoned in the hospital w/c was t-over to DSWD, then DSWD gave it to me. my problem now is, after 9 mos of custody, DSWD informed me that the mother appreared and that she want to get the baby. But since the mother is not capable(Unemployed), her relatives want to get the baby for her. Is ders a law protecting the rights of the adoptive parents? What are the other remedies?
Thany you.
My husband recently told me that 2 years ago he had an affair with a woman in the Philippines when he was visiting his dying mother. The woman had a baby, but my husband is not the biological father but my husband is named as the father on the baby’s birth certificate. The mother has abandoned the baby with my sister-in-law in Manila and we don’t know where she is and she said that the biological father disappeared when she was two months pregnant. What is the legal relationship between my husband and the baby under Filipino law?
My boyfriend (the father of the child) and I broke up two months ago. For the whole time I was pregnant until I gave birth I was leaving with my x’s parent’s house. My family never helped me or gave any financial assistance. When I gave birth with my child all expenses were paid with his parents. I had c-section then and my child was premature. The bills reached 120k but I gave 20k. I was unemployed then since I stop working because of my condition. Now that we are already separated with the father of the child. They don’t want to give my son to me especially the mother of my x, since they paid a lot for the hospital bills. My question is can I get my son. With so many reasons. We are not married, the father of my son is still studying and I am working but on the birth certificate my son is bringing the last name of his father? Can I get my son? Cause they won’t give my child to me.
I’m studying law….San Carlos. Very simple advice.
1. Do you have financial capability….to have your own safe place….food..shelter…water…medical…clothing….neccessities for you and hte child together ALONE?
if no….you rely on others….YOU DON”T GET IT..sorry.
2. Do you have any criminal background or recent history of it?
Another lost case……
3. Anyone has solid evidence you neglected the child before or said insults to it or tried to disenroll from the responsibility?
If so ….and its true…..even a small thing….you lose
4. Age takes precidence in these situations
5. Education as well.
6. Psychological Stability
7. Benefits the child can inherit…..education funds….insurance….land…etc…
8. Responsibility in your personal life.
9. If you lived at MOMMY and Daddys….you better have a good reason you can support it alone with no help.
10. Knowledge of how to take care of a child….not emotionally….medically.
YOU LIE, STEAL, CHEAT, ADULTORY, HIT, ABUSE, FIGHT, SCREAM, YELL, GREEDY, SELFISH, BACKSTAB, CHILDISH….etc..
you have any of these attributes…..bad….and don’t turn your head and ignore it….your ignoring your own bullshit…and losing the case to win your child and be more responsible to raise it.
Read this and think it over.
I have all 1’s at San Carlos.
so suck it.

…and you have such bad grammar too. What a shame for law students. I wonder if you’ve already become a lawyer; if so, good for you and bad for the rest of us.
also JLP LAW won’t email you or that…your all guinea pig study subjects for them…..so they can see trends and build better cases for their clients.
don’t waste your time here.
I have an issue involving a 3 year old girl. I am engaged to her father who shares 50/50 custody of the little girl. He gets her every other week. The mother has been in and out of her life since she left the little girl at age 3 months. Since then it has been the mothers dad who takes the little girl on the weeks that the mother is supposed to have her. The mother is a stripper at a club out of state and she only sees her child when it is suitable for her schedule. Which means she only sees her 2-3 times a month. The mother is also constantly living with different people average she usually is with a new family or roommate 1 a month. This is very frustrating to me because I care for this child with her father and I am seeing many psychological issue in the child developing because mommy is not around. These have since gotten worse since I had a baby myself. What options are available for the father to get custody since she is so young. Everyone agrees that it is best for the child if her mother we to be consistently involved. But since the mother chooses not to be we are stuck with where to go next. The mother will not give up custody for pride issue as it has helped her get into some families home to stay by saying she has a daughter.
Atty,
good day!
i just want to raise my concern regarding child custody/parental authority. it so happened that i and my husband had a 5-month old daughter (at the time of this writing) and this time we agreed to separate and being clarified in front of the Consul at the Philippine Embassy. this time, his mom (OFW) requested to see the baby every vacation and so as his father (OFW). i just want them to be fair with me because for the past 4months, my daughter’s father is only sending less than 10,000php for the baby’s support.they did not even thinking of the my parent’s effort in taking care of our daughter, because the baby is with my side (i am also an OFW).i also have a burden this time because i am sending my sisters to school and i also have my daughter who is born out of wedlock.it is so unfair for me, from teh fact that i gave my husband’s freedom (the separation,even if it hurt me, except from marrying with other woman,bec. we are not yet annulled til this time because of lack of funds), because they wanted the child to be with them during their vacation (she is their first granddaughter). it is so unfair bec. the father did not even have the zeal to give more than 10,000php a month considering that her daughter is still months old? do we have any grounds for these? i have a little knowledge about child custody, but it is so unfair for me. we talked before we get married he will take care of the baby’s expenses and support her,bec. he knows about my situation.and now he is not doing it? i am still burdening half of our daughter’s expenses and now they are asking us to let them take care of the baby during they vacation. that is so unfair,right?
please do give advises about this matter. maybe i can have more advises from you in connection to this concern.
thank you.

My wife has filed a case on child abandonment 7 yrs ago. Can I proceend with the annullment case or should we settle the abandonment case first?
I have consulted some lawyers and some of them says I can proceed with the annullment and some of them say that the abandonment should be cleared first.
I just got separated, I have 2 kids (6 & 7 yo). I caught my husband having an affair. Mistress has sent me a letter and made the confession. Right now, I’ve decided not let my husband see my kids. I don’t have plans to make it permanent I just needed the time to move on knowing that I have the full attention of my kids ( i know its selfishness ). But I am also afraid that they will take them away from me.
Am I violating anything here?

Good Day atty.
im researching at net when i found your site and catch my attention. im in really need of advices here. its all about the custody of my child who is just 3 yr old and turning 4 by august of this yr.
Here how it goes:
Im presently working as a customer service representative at a call center industry and i just got regularized last month.
I have a kid, id stay at my inlaws since 07/2006 (before i gave birth) until 01/05/2010. i went home to my privince to give birth but i didnt go directly to my inlaws place because the father of my son and i were not together anymore or were not already in good relationship. however, when his family got the news that i was there to gave birth of their first “apo”, they came with me and said that their son (father of my kid) said that they should get me from the house and should stay in their place, and said that everything is ok and settled.
Mw and my son stayed at the province until he’s 1 1/2 yr old then moved here in manila. My ex and i wasnt communicating at all for 2 yrs. he always ignored me, he always get updates to het mother regarding how the baby is. At that moment, he got her gf, but i ignored it hoping that we will be fine again for the sake of our child, but it didnt worked out.
Now, i decided to left their palce, pursue my work here and manila and left my kid at my mothers place. My inlawas wanted to get my kid, theyre saying that i cant take care of my kid, since im here in manila and he was there in my motheres palce, they said that they all have the right to take care of my kid.
They wanted to o file a petition for the custody of my kid.
My ex husband/bf (if you call it husband/bf) is in Saudi. We have an agreement that since they also leave there in the province, my kid will stay with them for a week and also a week at my moms place. And by june, i will be enrolling my son at a day care center nearby the house and i let them know that when that time comes, they can only have/borrow my kid every weekend which they refused, they still wated to have the kid with them for a week.
I’m im just fighting for my right, and wanted then=m to respect my decision, but they didnt want too. NOw they told me that we will just see each other on the court for the custody of the child. (my kid)
I really need your help for this situation, my kid is under legal age, and i want him to be at my mothers place while im working here to support all his needs.
pls email me at mary_torio30@yahoo.com
Im looking forward to have a response from your good office.
Thank You!

Do we have any right or slightest chance to claim a custody to my brother’ sons custody even if they are under 7 years old?
My daughter is more than one year separated from her husband. She and her two children (8 y.o girl and 5 y.o boy)are staying with me, but last month my daughter went abroad for work to give her children a brighter future. Now, I want to ask if how can I secure the children in my custody. What legal matters can you suggest to me?
please help me, my e-mail: jav_leo26@yahoo.com
thank you.
Hi, please give me insight about my situation. I am legally married for 7 years now, but separated (not legally) from my husband for 1 year. My husband found someone and they live together now. I have one child age 7. He is a member of the PNP (PO1) here in the Visayas. We have already an agreement in front of his Chief. Enough na ba ang agreement namin or i still need to go it legally or notarized it to the lawyer? I have a copy of our agreement but the problem is, hindi daw siya bibigay ng suporta sa akin dahil ako ay may trabaho anak lang daw ang susuportahan niya, tama po ba ang sabi ng husband ko? Can i ask a support kahit na ako ay may trabaho? Tsaka ngayon lang po ako nag demand sa kanya ng iniwan nya kami. Last April 3,500 lang ang ibinigay niya dahil marami daw cya utang at may loan pa cya. Ano po ang magagawa ko? Another, just an inquiry “The general rule is that a child under seven years of age shall not be separated from his mother, which is based on the basic need of a child for his mother’s loving care.”. How about child seven years of age or over? Ano po ang patakaran? If the info is confidential, please email me at imeldauman@yahoo.com Salamat po.
Hi, need some assistance regarding the custody of my child. She’s 7 yrs. of age and will be turning 8 this year. His father and I was not married. I want to know how can i Get my child from him.
The story goes like this….
When I gave birth to my daughter the father was not there and didn’t want the child, so I didn’t put his name on the birth certificate of the child instead it was N/A. and when his parents learned about the child when the child was 8 months old, they start supporting the needs of my child and sometimes they asked me if my daughter can sleep over in there house. Things goes well with my child’s grandparents, and her dad start’s to take his responsibility to the child. and at age of 2, his dad got married and since his wife cannot have a child they treat my daughter as their own, which is so nice of his wife. I have no problem at all with his wife.
His wife told me that her husband’s family have documents of my child and they were able to bring the child with them for vacation outside of the country. Which is i know all about this, but since their family is more well off than my family i didn’t say anything and keep my silence. she even told me her in laws have passport and birth certificate of my child under my child grand parents. But they said it’s only for passport use. so i ignored.
And when my child reached the age of 5, I have to work abroad and leave her with her dad’s and stepmom’s care, but my family was still there to look after the child. for straight 2 years i was working but still have constant communication with my child.
And now that I got married, my husband (diff. nationality) to bring the child here and be in our custody which is we know she will be better with us. (her dad and her stepmom is now having problem with their marriage w/c affecting my child)
How can I get my child, with our current situation? (her dad dint want me to bring my child with me and live with me and with my husband) what are the action I can do to get my child’s custody? Thus verbal agreement can be a problem?
Hi Atty. This problem is killing me. I’m so depressed in my situation and I feel I’m losing my mind if no one could help me. Here’s my concern, Me and my girl friend had a 4 yr old son because of money issues, I am forced to live with my girl friend’s family to be there with my Girl friend and my Son. It was also agreed with her parents that my Girl friend and son will live with them until she passes the CPA board exam. I have stayed there for 4 yrs. Her mom’s a wealthy millionaire business woman. She told me that she will help support my Son while I can contribute to some basic needs since I’m not earning much in my work.
This is what happened last week we had a fight with my girl friend, her mom is getting involve in our decisions and made me left the house. She doesn’t want me to see my son. She also treating me like hell comparing me to his friend’s son who likes his daughter. She’s also threatening me about my Son that I wont be able to see my girl friend and son anymore. She said ” inanakan mo lang ang anak ko” Di mo yan asawa at di ka nya pede pakasalan! My son is using my family name and I’m not married with my girl friend. Do I have the right to at least borrow my son? We are allowed to talk over the phone but disallowed to meet him. I’ve reconciled with my girl friend, we don’t have problems anymore regarding our relationship. What can I do with my in-laws? I want to see my Son, does my mother in-law have the right to decide for my girl friend and my son? Im 31 yrs old and my girl friend is 24. Fortunately she passed CPA yesterday. Please help me I need to know what my mother in-law can do. Please mail me at sjeanjaquet@mobius.ph . Thank you and God Bless.
Hello
My fiance’s family is in a crisis. Almost 2 years ago my fiance’s uncle left his illegitimately born baby girl with my fiance’s mother (his sister) and father. The mother of the baby abandoned the infant with him. The babies father is very poor and could not feed the baby. So he gave the child to his Sister (my fiance’s mother) and her husband, who could raise the baby. They have raised this little girl since before she was one year old, and she is nearly three now. This month the biological mother of this baby filed a claim that they kidnapped the baby and must return it. She also had my fiance’s uncle (the baby’s father arrested on abuse charges) My fiance’s mother lives far from the place the baby came from, and would have to fly there to return it, but cannot afford to go right there right now.
I have read a lot of the law and think maybe the biological mother has lost her claim to the child… I do not know if she has the financial means or emotional stability to raise this child.. but beyond that after nearly two years with no report of a missing child and no financial support… has she not forfeited her rights as the mother?
Do we have a case to fight? The emotional damage to the child would be great, My fiance’s mother is the only mother this child knows.
What would it cost for legal help?
Hello Atty,
I have the same problem like Maria. I have a 3yrs old son who is carrying his father’s name though we are not married. I never receive any financial support either after I gave birth.
I now live in France, married with a French and for me to be able to take him and live with me , I need an authorization from the father, a full custody. My son is under the care of my parents since I left, while me and my husband take care of everything he needs , and so as the papers.
When I talked about this with the father, he doesn’t seem to care and told me without him , my son and I can’t be together here in France. After few days , he asked money in exhange of his signature and cooperation. I saved all the conversation we had but don’t know exactly what to do.
Should I just give what he wants in order to process all the papers or am I protected by law in this kind of blackmailing?
What is the good way to proceed? I am a mother and my son needs me.
Hallo!! good day!!!
I just want to know. Where can I get a copy of a law or court statement or written document, that describes annulment in the Philippines? I have plans of leaving for Netherlands and will bring my minor daughter from previous marriage, but I was obliged by the immigration bureau there to produce a written document describing annulment procedures in the Philippines, so that I wont be needing a consent from the biological father who never supported my daughters ever since. In our annulment case, child custody was not discussed, ergo I had sole custody of them, since the biological father never showed any intention of supporting them all the more get custody. Now, that my minor daughter needed a consent from the biological father so she could be granted visa to the Netherlands, the biological father did not cooperate. So I was told to produce such document to prove that my annuled marriage means that the marriage has not taken place. My marriage was annuled on the ground of psychological incapacity between both parties. Reading your previous blogs left me confused between annulled and null and void. So I need more documents to support my case. I hope you could help me find such documents.
Thank you and more power!!!
Hello atty. and any else here, i am posting at this site since
i really dont know anything in regards to legal issues about child custody.
I seek advice for my predicament.
I am a father of a 3 year old daughter from a mother who was then my
girlfriend. Although we did not marry, we lived for more than 3 years
as a happy couple. I still love her and my daughter but last year
she decided to marry a more financially capable American citizen man. Although I’m just a regular Filipino trying to make ends meet I am doing what i can to provide for my daughter’s needs such as education and the like. My primary concern is how can i contest my custody
to my daughter, I know for sure that I’m in a difficult situation since my ex and I are not married, I can understand if this will not make a case, but the fact that my ex will take my daughter with another man to another country to live there permanently is strictly unacceptable for me.
I appreciate any comments and advices to my post. thank you very much and good speed to all.

hi atty,..i’m a mother of two kids,..their father and i got separated almost 2 years ago and my brother in law told me that his brother was already living with another girl,i’m fine with that issue but the problem is for almost 2 years i was the only one supporting the kids is there any way i could ask for a child support even if he keep on saying he do not have a job?he’s so much fit to work but i was wondering why up to now he still doesn’t have one,..my only concern is that next year my youngest will be going to school already but he does not even bother to regularly pay for the school service,..i could do something about it but i know it’s already unfair that he is the father and he do not even exert an effort to help for the kids financial concerns,..
My fiancee needs to prove full custody of her 9 year old daughter to US Immigration officials for the daughter to receive a K-2 visa and join her in travelling to the States. My fiancee was divorced from her Filipino husband in Australia… and she currently resides there as a student. Her daughter is in Manila. Her ex-husband in the Philippines cannot be located (still her husband by Philippine law of course).
(Note: I am fully aware that her divorce is not recognized in the Philippines…so she will process the K-1 and K-2 visas outside of the Philippines. I assume it is best for the child to be outside of the Philippines prior to the K-2 being placed in the child’s passport?)
Specifically, can DSWD issue a custody document to my fiancee for her daughter…especially when the husband is no where to be found…or will she need to go to court? I’m sure US Immigration will accept whatever documents are accepted by Filipino authorities regarding custody…I just don’t want her to have go to court as she cannot stay long if she must return to the Philippines for this matter. If she can work directly with DSWD over the course of 2-3 weeks to get a document that proves or grants her sole custody…this is no problem for her to initiate with DSWD.
Is this a matter on which you can give your always knowledgeable and well-articulated advice…or will this require professional assistance?
P.S. – I have reason to believe the father of the child subjected the child to abuse within the last year. I am not sure if this makes the case for DSWD easier to decide…or if it is still something that would have to go to court?
please tell me how to file for case of abandonment… where to go and how to do it…your reply is very much appreciated. sallieroa@yahoo.com
Dear Atty. Fred
I need ur advice before going to far. I’ve searching the net for a week now for some article regarding my situation. so here it is, Me and my so called ex wife are seperated for 2 years and Im filling up an annulment this year. we are both working out the country and we have a 4 year old daughter and she’s with the mother of my ex wife which is in the Philippines. Since were married, my daughter is under my name but when we got seperated some circumtances happened such as i can’t bring my daughter to my house to be with me everytime i went home for vacation and this is once in a year or two. in this case, my relatives nor my mother can’t be with her once in a while and my mother was out of the country also for most of the time. eversince we got seperated im still giving out support to her by sending money(15 percent of my net income – which i read on other article) and even paying for her school and medicals. but because of the situation, i recently stopped, i know it was wrong but what they’re doing is wrong either. i want them to realize my point in this situation. i know that under seven years old the child must be with her mother, butsince we’re both outside the countries, i want my daughter to be with me if i was on vacation, let say saturday and sunday as my she’s going to school by weekdays. as i said, before everything went wrong, i want your advice!! What are my rights in this situation? what are my options? i don’t want to file a custody as of now as i myself is out of the country most of the time and don’t want to make things worst for my daughter. all i need i time for her to be with me once in while..my ex wife hometown is Pampangga and i live in Laguna..travelling from day to day is not practical..my ex wife and her parents allowing me to visit my daughter but not allowing to be with me in my hoouse..
Please help me!!!!
Thank you very much and looking forward to your reply..

Hello Atty.
i have a 3yr old son to my ex live-in partner and she is not allowing me to visit my son.is there any legal way to get my son custody or to exercise my right as a father?
Dear Sir,
I would like to ask your advise regarding my helper’s problem.
Ann, at 16 yrs of age was forced by her mother to marry a guy,21 yrs of age. They stayed together for one year and was pregnant when they separated . Only the mother -in- law knew about it. Her mother asked where her child was because she intends to give the child to an aunt. Ann told her mother that she had a miscarriege. She actually gave birth to a girl and asked that the child be taken cared of by the aunt of her husband. She went back to her husband and she again became pregnant, separated again and stayed with her mother who collected money from her husband for check up and for her delivery. Ann gave birth to a baby boy and again left her son to her husband because she went to work as a helper in another town. She sent money to help support the second child. Her mother took the child from the father and began collecting money from both Ann and the father. Ann’s mom would demand for financial support both from Ann and father and would
present prescriptions for medicines , would tell them the child was hospitalized when in reality was not, would ask for money for baptism of the child when the child was already baptized and many more demands for money using the child as the reason for such necessity.
Ann’s history:
She was given to the manghihilot as payment for
services rendered when she and her twin were
delivered. An aunt learned about the incident,
looked for Ann and took her when she was two months old.
She was raised and sent to school by her aunt. At age
ll, her aunt died . Another Aunt took care of her in
Cebu.At age 14, her aunt again died of cancer and she
stayed with her cousins. She ran away because she was
physically and verbally abused. Shelooked for her
mother at age 16, but was forced to marry a guy she
barely knew. She says nothing against her father except
that he is a drunkard and claims that her father did
not /does not know about her mother’s activities. Her
mother is often out of work because she is “palautang”
and gambles. Her mother sometimes does not go home for
a day to attend to her gambling activities. She leaves
Ann’s child under the care of the other children.
While Ann is with us, she would demand for money two
to three times a month leaving Ann penniless and
threatened to get Ann back if she could not collect.
Ann desperately wants to get her child back to the
father who has the capacity to raise the child
properly. She does not like to go home because she wants
to earn a living so she can also help support her
little boy.
What are Ann’s rights, atty.
1. She is only l9.
2. Her mother is combative
and scandalous.
3. Ann’s husband and mother-
in- law do not like trouble
but are very much willing
to raise the little boy.
4. Ann gave her husband
custody but her mother
took the child away.
Please help Ann.
The child is with his father and wants the costody of the child of 2 yrs old. Does the child remian to his father until the court rener judgement or will the mother have the right for temporary costody untill such judgement be rendered?
Is there such thing as giving up parental consent or custody? How to go about it? Thank you in advance.
hi atty.,
my brother had a baby with her girlfriend, the baby carries his surname even though they are not married. our family is taking care of the baby ever since he was born.we did not get any financial support from the side of the mother. now, the mother of the baby left their child in our care because she cannot stand the rules in our house.she said that the is leaving for the sake of her child. she had her first child with another guy and her son is in the custody of her grandparents. i think she is an irresponsible mother because she left the baby in my brothers care about three weeks ago and up to now she hadn’t even visited him. considering the fact that she always see my brother at school, she dont even have the effort to ask how is her baby. by the way their baby is just 3 months old. our problem is, do we have the right not to give the baby to her when the time comes that she will get him from us? what could be our grounds for the matter because we want full custody of the child. thanks and God bless.

i have a 3 yrs old daughter with my surname but we are not married with the mother, is there a chance that i can get the custody of my daughter since her mother cannot support my daughters needs since she doesnt have any work at all?
if a minor 14 yrs old is in the Philippines but a US Citizen,
is any of the minor’s relative has the right to take custody/ guardianship to the child, even if the brother who is in USA Prison appoint someone else and not the NIECE
The brother wanting to bring back the minor in USA with the help of a family friend whom he trust to take care of his brother as they have known more than 40 years but the NIECE /relative is opposed and kept stopping to let go of the minor.
The Mom of the minor has 2 Uncle – brother of their Mom is willing to let the minor travel to USA to be with the family friend but the niece kept holding not to let go of the minor and process all the benefits of the kids without hte persmission of the brother neither of the 2 Uncles.
The minor is US Citizen who was left in the Philippines
Can the niece do that by Philippine law?
how can we report this issue so the niece will surrender the child and all the properties /estate of the parents of the minor.

Hi Atty,
I have a son who just turned a year old last month. The boy has been with me since he was 7months because his mom has no time to take care of him and was still much into night outs with her friends and often leaves the the baby to her mom and dad who both has hypertension. She has been jobless for 3 months and just relies on me for child support in which I know is my duty and responsibility as the father of the child. My question is, is there any chance I can get full custody of the boy knowing that his mom is incapable of providing him proper love and care both financially and emotionally. I am really in need of your help. I really love my son and it hurts me to leave him on their side. Thank you.
Hi,
Can any help me?
Im confused right now.
Im 3 years married now but we decided to end our relationship (but not legally). I fell in love with someone and im sure he’s in the same page too.
Im afraid that just in case, he’ll use that reason for getting my child’s custody.
Question is:
Is it possible for him to get my child’s custody if he discovered or by any chance appeal in the court?
What can i do with it?
i am 44 years old and resides in iloilo. i had a three year old female sibling out of wedlock… i had custody of the child since a week of age up to the age of three (3)… in the entire three years my family had full support of the child’s need while the mother left for abroad to work… upon her arrival she borrowed the child and without any permission brought the child to manila. when she came back, i had her summoned to the DSWD and we ended up on agreement that i would have a visitation right where i can bring the child to my house during saturdays and sundays… lately she had denied me of my paternal/visitation rights. she is now unemployed…. can i legally claim for child custody. pls shed light on some legal options… I love the child and i don’t approve to the way she cares for her as they do not have a good household condition, and that the child has been with me since birth.
my email address is dudefrancisjeff@yahoo.com

Hi Attorney I would just like to ask about my rights as a father of my 14 month old baby. I know that there is a rule regarding the full custody of the child to the mother until she can decide once she is 7 years old. Our agreement is to provide the custody of the baby to me, until she can recover since her two elders are already studying. Her situation is that she is living with her parents together with her 3 children near the house of her drug addict, the elders from two different guys. We work on the same company. My salary is always higher than her. I provide all the needs of my baby and she does not want to let me borrow my daughter. She also brags that she used to raising her children without a father so it’s like she’s pushing me away from my kid. Bottom line is what rights do i have for my kid? and is it possible to get her customer. I’m lookng forward to receiving your reply.

atty. I am recently staying at my boyfriend’s house to oversee and take care of the bills. They have a kasambahay who recently passed away. She has two kids staying with her, both are girls ages 8 and 9. She started working as “taga-laba” but on the 21st of December 2012, they decided to let them stay at home with the kids. The parents of my boyfriend left for Canada on the 23rd of December. I moved in temporarily on that same day. My bf is also working overseas, so they ask me to stay at their house for the meantime. The kasambahay works up until 2.30pm because she also works as a sweeper in the barangay. There was no written agreement of her employment. But she receives a regulary salary of 3k per month. After a month,, their kasambahay passed away leaving the 2 kids behind. I tried to talk to their old neighborhood but no one can pin point where the kids’ father is or any relative for that matter. The parents of my boyfriend paid for everything. But since I work at night I decided to talk to the neighborhood association that my kasambahay belongs to if I can let the kids stay with them, knowing that the person who will take care of them is the bestfriend of the kasambahay who is very much willing to take care of them. Right now, I am asking for the assistance of the SSDD. However, one of the adviser in that office ask me if there was a written agreement which allows the kids to stay in their custody. I have no idea of the boundaries of support that I can offer them since I am the only one who stays in my bf’s place. I do not want to be accused of anything, that is why, I would like to get your opinion. Aside from that, I have learned that there is a quezon city ordinance that requires the kasambahay to be registered and be given philhealth and sss. As much as I know the kasambahay has a philhealth and sss which I think was given by the barangay. In effect there are two thing I am very concerned about, the kids custody and the benefits that should be provided to the kasambahay. I would appreciate your immediate response for I do not know what to do. Kindly email me at rshine27@yahoo.com

Atty,
Greetings,
I’m married for 4 yrs, Got married last 2009, one week after, I gave birth to my daughter, after 5 months,I found out that one month before we got married is He’s having an affair with his co-worker,before I knew it the girl was visiting my daughter in my house giving things, after few days, I tried to check my husband’s phone and I’ve read that they’re fighting and he confessed and asked for forgiveness that they are having an affair. we even went to Makati, which his Grand Mother’s house is located , which he stays because its near his office, and to find out that the Girl is already staying and renting a room. the 3 of us talked about the situation, and my husband promised me that he’ll put up an end on what they have, he decided to stop working then I decided to work, we had a small fight that ends up with bruises in my face and body, then he left with my daughter, for 6 months that I haven’t seen my daughter because he wont let me, we talked about our problems, and I asked for his forgiveness even It’s not my fault, then his friend told me that my husband and his mistress still have a relationship, the girl is texting me to surrender my husband to her because he doesnt love me at all. so I talked to my husband and then he asked for forgiveness again, after that, he accused me that i’m having an affair with my co worker, which is not true, there is someone who liked me but i refused, my boss liked the guy and when the guy confessed to her that he liked me my boss talked to my husband and tell everything that isn’t true, 2 yrs of not seeing my daughter because of his father’s condition that if i force to see my daughter he will not let my parents visit their grand daughter. so even its hard for me I accepted. I found out last year his mistress gave birth, and they stay in one roof with my daughter, my parents regularly visits my daughter and coming out in my daughters mouth they found out about my husband’s mistress, not only that they even brainwash my daughter’s mind that if she sees me she must run away because i will hurt her, good thing about this my parents is building me up. and my daughter still knows me, last year, I met this guy which is my partner in our business he told me that he likes me and i have the same feeling. we have this relationship for a year, can I still have the custody of my daughter, would it be charged for abandonment even my husbands condition, and before he told me that he will file a case which is adultery, even when he is the first to have a mistress. and now they have a child, can i file a case for concubinage? can i also file a case of violence against women. because he’s hurting me physically. I really want to have the custody of my child legally but my husbands has the capabilities to hire someone then kill me, or even himself, and also he was deported back here in the Philippines because he was in prison for 3 yrs because of the case illegal possession of drugs and firearms. can this situation helped me for having my daughter back?. please I need an answer.
Thank you for reading.

Hi,
I have an 8 eight year old daughter and I’m having problem with his father. We’re not married and been supporting my daughter needs when we separated in 2009. He wants to get my daughter’s custody but he doesn’t have a job. Her mom will be supporting my daughter. My problem is, I don’t want to give them my daughter since because he don’t have a job and he never supported her daughter financially. Can I have the full custody of my daughter?
Thank you very much…
Hi, good evening!
I am a mother of three kids. I must admit that my kids came from different fathers. But I don’t have any problem with the father of my youngest. As well as with his family. They love us so much. And they even accepted me for having three kids. I have been striving hard to raise my kids with support coming from the family of my youngest. When I am at work, i leave my kids on my sister’s care but of course I have to pay her Php 3,000 monthly.
I recently resigned from my work in one of the Top Companies in the Philippines because I was offered a job overseas. I know that I could give a brighter future for my kids if I grabbed that opportunity.
The time came that we had a fight inside the house involving my sister and mom. I left our house and took my kids with me. But a few days later, they were already chasing us, to get the custody of my kids. The consulted SAN PEDRO DSWD, that eventually decided to give my siblings and mother the custody of my kids which I think should not be like that because they have not yet consulted me yet. They even abducted my kids on the day that I reported for work. Meaning, I was not there and they were with my In-Laws care. They did not even filed any report on the Barangay that should handle it since it happened in that Barangay’s jurisdiction. My sister even threatened me that if I will fight for my Rights, she will be forced to use her own lawyer and seek help from Vice President Binay which I find very absurd since I am the mother of the kids and I was the only one who struggled hard to raise my kids. They are not even giving me the right to be with my kids for a couple of days in a week. They will just let me be with my kids for a few hours and would harshly ask to return my kids at once. I am suffering so much because of what they did to us. I miss my kids so much. Please give me a legal advice so I could be with my kids without any barriers. They are also not capable in supporting my kids because they are just dependent with my father who happens to be an OFW. They have a three-wheeled motorcycle that is the only source of their income. But legally, the motorcycle is under my name, though they are the one paying for it. They would not be able to get that source if not because of me. I wanna fight for my kids because I am certain that I am the only one who can support my kids unconditionally. Please give me some advice. I have a proof that I was paying my sister to take care of my kid whenever I am at work. So I dont think that she really cares for my kids like what she was claiming. I wanna fight for my kids before I leave the country.
I just want to ask … I am a teacher and I was accused of Child abuse (although what I did was just tap with 2 fingers the mouth of a 12 year old because of his non-stop talking. the problem they accused me of letting him eat chalk !!! so not true !! I even have a witness that I didn’t do that !!! They added the story to make me terrible !! ) . Anyway , the case is ongoing. My real scenario is … My marriage is on the rocks .. what if my husband ran away with my child ( 2 years old ) … Will I be able to get the custody even though I have ongoing case on child abuse? please help me I’m really bothered that the case may effect my custody … …help!!!!
btw my email add is chloesarte27@yahoo.com for help
Hi Atty,
Please help me
I have a bf whose got a 3 yrs.old son from his ex partner, they have been separated for 5 months and now my bf is gone back to Philippines to sort out the matters but his ex partner took their son to her province so that he won’t be able to see him. My bf wanted to see his son and thinking to get a custody from their son as his ex partner is unemployed and unable to give all the needs of their son without her parents support. My bf went to Saudi to earn for their living but ended up with nothing. Apparently we have an emails from his ex that whenever she goes to attend a drinking session with her friends she always takes the child with her as no one can look after him. There was also several emails coomunication from his x partner committing suicide while the son is on her care. There was a case that my bf lost his second son from the same girl because of her deliberate carelessness, base from all the people who witness it she deliberately punch her tummy and drank some alcohol and strong medication even asking small children to jump on to her tummy just to get rid of the child in her womb. My bf’s siblings tried to barrowed the child from his ex and promise them that she will let them see the child but no action has been taken from her side. My bf supports them financially since he left the contry until last January just to teach her lesson but before then there was no communication and effort from her bringing the chld to my bf’s family. He wanted to see his child but he doesn’t know where to start and to find them as his ex partner is no longer getting in touch with them unless she wanted some money from my bf.

hi Atty
I have a child born out of wedlock, after my daughter was 3 months old i left the Philippines to join the U.S army. ever since i have left philippines i have been sending my gf and child at least $800 a month to support them. while being in the army for 2 years, because of being away physically our relationship has been terrible. I have tried everything and visited them as much as i can. I was reading the articles above and it states that Article 213 of the family code gives the mother custody unless the court finds compelling reasons…
the mother has never worked, not even once for the whole time my child was born. is this sufficient to grant me custody due to me supporting the both of them all this time?
i also saw the immorality, what exactly is grounds for immorality?
my child also has sever asthma to the point where my child is unable to talk lasting for a day to a week. although my child is sick during the nighttime hours the mother leaves home to drink with her friends. can this be an issue as well?
Thank you for your time
Sir, can i ask for a psychological test for the mother of my nephew before giving her the baby? She wants the custody of the child but we are hesitant because she has harmed my nephew once, but a grave one, he was hit at the head while he is still one month old by a door. She also harmed my cousin, the babys father, wuth a knife. Now she want her baby back, but insisting a child support from nanny to th. the babys food and clothes and diapers. Plus she threatens my aunt who has a weak heart. What can we do to win the child custody? The father and the baby hadnt done a medico legal when she had hurt them.
I’m a foreign law student and have been asked for some advice. I am not able to answer. Perhaps you can help me out.
A father (Jordanian) of an illegitimate Philippine child is seeking to obtain custody of said child. The father does not currently live in the Philippines and would also not after obtaining custody. Is there any possibility of him obtaining custody of the child. (I believe that the mother is unfit to take care of the child and has two other illegitimate children from previous relationships.) What are the chances of this man gaining custody of his child. And what is the procedure that he would have to follow? Please any help is highly appreciated.
Hello Atty,
Good day!
My brother has a 3 year-old daughter out of marriage but the child bears his name in her birth certificate. In the past my brother lived with the mother of the child and her family and she allowed my brother to bring the child in our parents’ house every other week without her. But recently they decided to separate and my brother is staying in our parents’ house now but my brother is giving support to the child still. The problem now is after separation, the mother of the woman does not allow my brother anymore to bring the child and stay in our house even just for two days. My brother is just asking to be with the child every other two weeks and for two days only. But that LOLA only, is making it difficult for my brother to be with his daughter because she does not want to be away with her apo even just for a day. Please advise us. What can my brother do? The mother of the child does not let my brother borrow the child for a while because her mother tells her to do so. By the way, the mother of the child does not have work and is only supported by her parents. Please help. I pity my brother so much now and the child because she feels very happy when she is in our parents’ house because she can play and stroll around well unlike in the mother of the child’s house where she gets to stay only inside the house the whole day . Thank you so much and more power!
Can the Mother who is not married to the Father take their daughter who is under 7 years old outside the Philippines and live in a different country without the signature of the Father. If it will go to court, can a Judge have the authority to make a decision to allow the child to go to a different country with the Mother without the Father’s written consent?

Hi Atty. My husband has a son before we got married he was 2 yrs old then and was still able to see his mother. He is 9 yrs old noee, and he has not seen his mother for 7yrs. We would like to apply for a passport for him but his mother was a no-show in the two instances that she agreed on personally coming as she is required by DFA given his son is a minor. How do we go about this? Appreciate it in advance.
hi atty,
i need your advice if you can help me. i am a mother of 4 child, two of them are below 7 years old. currently am not employed since i have decided to stay at home since last year 2013 in order for me to take care of my children, but have been working for the past 2 decades. we are currently staying in our conjugal house, and my husband is working abroad. there are a lot of occasions that i caught my husband with her girlfriend and he admit it totally and not denying it. but even though the situation is like this, we are still together. just recently, i really get tired of him and i told him that i wanted to get out of marriage. but even though i wanted to get out from our marriage, i still cannot leave my kids and we are still living in our conjugal house, but has no intentions to be with him anymore. he doesn’t want to file annulment either. now he told me that we wanted to file a custody case since it is me that wanted to get out from our relationship, and he is provoking me to leave our conjugal house. just recently, i fell inlove with someone, but i cannot decide to go with him since i cannot leave my children behind, and i know that my legal husband will not let me take all of our children. but between me and my boyfriend, nothing has happened yet because i am also hesitant to leave our house. is there a ground for him to file a custody case against me, and take away my rights from my children. and if i have a boyfriend now, but i dont want to go with him, can he make use of this as a ground for immorality.
thank you atty and i hope that you can give me a answer to this.

If you would like to post a comment of your personal experience in the matter, then please feel free to do so… If you want all your legal problems resolved in a “blog” then good luck to you in your custody battle or issues because you obviously cannot afford a lawyer.
You are all blasting your personal lives on the internet expecting that a lawyer who gets paid hundreds of pesos an hour to advise others will feel sorry for you and reply back.
Thank you atty for your feedback here. People pay money for advice on the very things you have provided here. Sadly, for the culture here, no one respects the fact that you are doing them a favor by educating them on these facts and the fact that you still have a job which is to advise.
Even as a foreigner in a custody battle of my own, I understand that these individuals have no respect for education, usually because of the lack thereof. I don’t have to worry about the understanding of this statement as you will understand and they will not. Simple fact is that you are doing the public a service and you owe nothing to those requesting free help.
This is not an ego boost but just as lawyers need to be humble at times, freeloaders also need to respect education and the money it cost to become an expect in your field.
Take care sir and thank you for your article/blog. It was highly informative.
I am working in Dubai for the past 5 yrs, my 21yrs old daughter is also here for more than a year. I left my son in the custody of my husband since then. Now my 11yrs old son wants to live with us & leave his father for some reasons. According to him, his father is having an affair with other girl to the extent of bringing her home & sleep in the same bed with my husband in the presence of my son. Can I get the custody of my son without the need for court hearings? Please help me.
Thanks,

i am a foreigner , living in a Philippines for 6 years and had a relationship with a Philippine woman.We never married but the relationship brought 3 beautiful children, 6,5 and 3 years old. I work overseas and on my when return,she was living with another man and the children were with her mother. Drugs were her problem. I lived in her parents house with the children for nearly one year. Eventually the police apprehended her and her boyfriend on drugs charges. The DSWD and the PNP gave me custody of the children and i went to baguio, and stayed there for 4 months, filing for full custody.Unfortunately i needed to go back to work overseas and had to give her back the children, due to the laws here. I am paying 30,000 per month in support for the children. I love the children so much and want them to be with me. At the moment its not possible for me to visit them due to her BF going to jail for drugs and gun related crimes, his family looking at me as the cause!!!

Hi,
I want to help my brother regarding his problem. He is a seaman, he’s on board the ship right now. The thing is, he has a child (Turning 8yo on 01/06/15) and a wife (Not legally married). Last month, the wife’s sister (who was living with them then) messaged me through facebook that the wife lets a man sleep in their rented room two times. The room is not that big, maybe around 10 square meters and no divisions inside. As what the sister said, the man was the wife’s supervisor on her previous job. This is not the first time this happened. During my brother’s previous contract, the wife sent a text message to me accidentally, a message intended to a man who accompanied her somewhere, saying that the she was happy she spent time with him (The text message has been deleted). What are the grounds that we can get the child’s custody? What should we do? Your response would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Hello I am writing from America. My fiance received her annulment last year, she has been separated from her ex for six years. We met five years ago, she has a daughter who is in her custody (legal) her age now is 11 years old.Last week my fiance received an approval for a K-1 and K-2 visa to come here with her daughter. My fiance plans on leaving the Philippines with her daughter but not telling her ex. I am sure there is a legal protection there in the Philippines, for the parental rights of the father? if you could provide a simple answer or give a path of direction I should make her follow about this I would greatly appreciate that help. Thank You
Hi Atty.,
My sister and his husband is in a separation by their words. I’d like to ask what if the both parties didn’t give their financial support? What should I do. The custody is in me.
Many thanks.
This is for my Tito who wants to get the full custody of his 3 child. They are not married the background of the girl was not good. The mother left her 3child to my Tito after 4months the mother filing for custody.and she won but my Tito knows that it will be better if the 3 child was in his custody because the mother don’t have the work to fulfil all the needs of his children, and only work she knows was dancing in club dating guys for money,and terms of environment were the children grow was not that good due to the family background of the girl,the work of the siblings of the girl not suitable for the children because they worked at the club,the mother of the girl was a gambler,and the father has recent history of illegal drugs,and now the mother was having unafaire to a lesbian and the lesbian leaves at the girl house.and now were thinking that the only reason why she wants the custody is because of the financial support that she can get to my tito is that good place for a 3 child to grow as a better person someday.and now were thinking why the mother wants the full custody because of the funancial support that she can get to my tito.what will be our first move to get the full custody of his children.
Hello Atty.
Good day! I am married with 2 children in the USA for more than 4 years ago but separated now for almost 2 years. I left this year to work abroad, but before that me and my children was living at my old parent’s house. My mother basically taking care of my children while I’m looking for a way to feed my kids. The first year of my separation my husband moved back to Germany to work (he is German) but unfortunately he has no luck. He maintained his company here in the Philippines but for almost two years there was no business coming in. This year he got a break, and now back to his feet. This year, before I left to work abroad he promised to get a place for him.and the kids but my condition that my mother will be with them to look after my kids while I’m working abroad. And this happened May this year, but I’m already awa, working abroad. 2 months ago he told me that he want to moved to Germany with my children and also he will take my mom because he knows he can’t take care of our children on his own. I also live and working here in Europe now, for me it’s an advantage at least they will be closer. But a month ago he asked me to come back to the Philippines to do our daughter’s passport in german embassy. At the moment, I can’t file for leave just because he wants me to come back. The passport process will take weeks and I can’t do that. He said if I can’t go back to do it then he will file a full custody of our children and he asked me to sign it. Of course I said no, I told him that he has to wait for next year until I can have a vacation from work. He still proceed mto the process and days ago I got a draft xerox copy. My mother is worried that the court will grant him the full custody because I can’t do anything about it because I am not there. Is that possible? I didn’t abandoned or neglected my children, I have to work abroad because he is not supporting me in the Philippines and he doesn’t want me to have the kids and support us. He wants the kids for himself alone and for me he is using that so I’ll be back to him. I don’t know what step I should do, I hope you’ll be available to help me in these complicated matters of me. Thank you very much

Hi Po Attorney,
I’m a single parent, separated, with a 5-year old daughter and OFW. Husband and I got married on 2009 and separated 2010 (just a month before I left for overseas). Discovered that he cheated on me for 6 months for a younger girl on April 2010. I left Philippines for work while my daughter stayed in my father’s place. Cheater husband went back home to his father’s house. My child was left there while relatives look after her while I am working for living. Since the day we separated he visited our child for several times only without giving any support or whatsoever. I am working overseas and would like to get my daughter so we can be together. Due strict law in the country where I am now, they would like to have a father’s consent for me to bring our child.
My daughter is willing to migrate with me but her father wouldn’t allow. He doesn’t visit our daughter, doesn’t call in our home phone to check how my daughter is, he doesn’t give any penny to support my child for basic needs and schooling. I did not receive any help, support of any kind in any way. But the twist here is that he is holding my daughter’s freedom to migrate with me.
I could infer that he abandoned and neglected my child while living as single man and flirting with other girls.
Please give advise on how to win my daughter’s freedom so I can take my daughter overseas.
I was separated to my husband snce dec and he force me to leave the house because of jelousy and thinking i have other man in my life, can I still get the custody of my child? How will be the process?

If a mother is immigrating to another country with her child below 18 years of age, does the mother need the child’s father’s consent? The father abandoned the family when the child was still a baby. Thankyou for giving this your attention.

I have proof that he has another woman in the same country to which is also a Filipina. My concern is that I just want to clear things between us since he is not supporting our son physically, emotionally and financially. Thank you Atty!
Good day Atty.
Ask ko lang po nag file daw pong annulment mister q. Then sabi nya tapos na daw po. Nakakuha po aq sa nso ng naka secpa na may null/void na notes sa mar cert namin. So akala ko po ok na. Nid q mag change ng passport from kasal to single. Isang need po ay yung court order from rtc. So nagpunta q sa rtc na nakaindicate sa mar cert namin. Sabi po sa rtc wala daw po file at fake daw po annulment namin since alam nila na wala ako pinirmahan. Madami daw po case na ganon. May bago na po sya asawa at may anak na sila. So it means kasal pa din kami at pede q sya kasuhan ng pangangaliwa? Then gusto po nila ng family nya na kunin ang 2 anak namin. Boy is 12 and girl is 6. Mahirap lang po aq at may kaya sila sa buhay kaya tinatakot nila aq na mag file sila ng custody at kukunin mga anak ko sa akin. Anu po ba dapat q gawin. Kasi mahirap lang po ako at ang fam ko. Kung sakali po ba may laban aq na makuha ang mga anak ko?

Yung daughter po namin nung ipinanganak ko kasal na po kami. Ikinasal kami 2007. 2008 po ipinangank daughter namin. Nasa akin po mga kids since naghiwalay kami nung 2011. Ngayon pp pinupush ng inlaws ko ang asawa ko na kunin sa akin ang mga bata at magfile ng custody. Tutulungan daw po nila sa gastos ang mister ko. Ngayon po wala pa po ako work baka by july pa po. Atty masalimuot po masyado nangyari sa life ko. Ang sama ng fam ng asawa ko. Nanahimik po ako at di nagreklamo dahil important lang po nasa akin ang mga anak ko. Ngayon po sila pa ang matapang at gusto kunin ang buhay ko. Mga anak ko na lang po ang reason kaya nabubuhay ako. Pano na po ako pag nawala na sila sa akin? Hindi ko na po alam ang gagawin ko. Takot po ako kasi wala po ako pera pambayad sa abogado if itutuloy po nila yun. Ano po ang dapat ko gawin? Salamat po
Is it possible for my second child to be adopted by my sister in law without my consent? I’m not married to my daughter ‘s father ,due to unstated reason our relationship didn’t work out so I need to leave their house in the province…few years till now she (my daughter) is with her father in the province and I’m in Manila.. because he said its his obligation to raise her and since I’m jobless that time but I have now….Until I got a call from him today and telling me that he wants our daughter to be adopted by her sister because her sister is already a citizen in Canada…

I am from Cebu. Me and my wife have been separated for more than a year now, out of spite she took our 3 kids with her ages( 9,5 and 2) and left them to her parents in Mindanao but I dont know the address since its not their own house and they never told me even if I kept asking them for the address. She wont reply in her facebook and she changed her number and the kids as well. But shes here in Cebu while the kids are in mindanao. She told me to file for annulment and she will bring the kids back here in Cebu,she was very firm in that, to which I did just for the sake of the kids even if I dont have that much money because I know her parents dont have any source of income in mindanao and my kids are now studying in a very small public school there. they were studying in a private school here in cebu but had to stop because my wife took them to mindanao without my knowledge,that was when we were still on speaking terms and she asked for money for my daughters birthday but instead used it for their fare and took the kids with her.
Now that I have already filed for annulment, she still didnt bring the kids here. School have started and the case havent had a single hearing or a mediation(just the raffle) since were still waiting for the hearing schedule.
Our marriage is about to hit 10years but we separated because she has a very violent temper and would break things in our house and I dismissed it as her being highblood,until she broke the cars windshield and 3 of the office computers because she was angry . Im not sure if thats normal for wives to be that violent but I cant live with that anymore so I lived in my parents house for the mean time since Im afraid of whats going to happen next.I dont want my kids to see any more of her violent side. Now shes mad and wont cooperate for the kids sake. Keeping our kids hidden from me.
My question is, aside from waiting for the annulment case to be finished,which will be years,what can I do to get my kids back here in Cebu?

Hi atty. just wanna ask about the custody of my child after ng annulment namin ng ex husband ko. Nov. 04 2014 is the exact date ng ma file ko yung petition ko, i filed it sa las pinas RTC.. Nakatanggap lang ako ng summons siguro mga 4 times palang and wala ng padin updates sa petition ko. I just wanna know po kase mag 7 years old na yung daughter ko this october. yung father kase nya and my inlaws before po ay sobrang nakakainis kapag nag sasabi sila na hiramin yung anak ko. Ayaw naman po kase ng anak ko pumunta doon kase lagi daw nag iinum ng beer ang daddy nya at di naman daw siya naaalagaan doon. Kapag sinasabi po kase namin na ayaw ng bata pumunta sinasabi nila samin na tinuturuan kase namin kahit hindi naman tpos matapang sila na sabhin na may karapatan sila sa bata at mag hahabla or mag file daw sila sa custody ng bata. Pano po ba yun eh wala naman sustento binibgay sa bata kami ng mama ko nag papa aral sa anak ko at salahat ng gastusin para sa bata. Yun lamang po ang katanungan ko.

Hi Atty. My brother has a 2 year old child. A month ago, his live-in partner left him due to misunderstandings. The girl suddenly left without us knowing. A few days after, she went back just to get her things, and without even showing up to her baby and to us. Now, it’s been more than a month that the baby is with us. My mom and dad, my eldest brother and I are the ones taking care of the baby. The baby stays with us especially that my brother has shifting work schedule. Yesterday, we got surprised upon hearing that the baby’s mom called up my brother telling that she will be getting her baby and would bring DSWD to pick her baby.
After all, in the first place, she abandoned her baby. She has no work.
We actually put up a small “sari-sari” store then just to keep her busy so that she won’t feel bored during those times they didn’t have the baby yet. Until now the store is still open.
Is the law on custody of child below 7yrs old absolute? Will she be taking away the baby from us? Please advise us on what legal grounds can we use to keep the baby with us who are very willing and capable of giving the love and support his mom couldn’t give him.
Thank you.

Hello po atty.
Isa po akong ofw sa middle east. May asawa pero hiwalay na po kami at may isang na babae 7 years old.
1 year na kaming hiwalay ng asawa ko atty. Dahil sa mga bisyo nya habang wala ako. Pati babae at drogas. Maraming ngsasabi sa kin, pati na mga kapatid nya at mama nya tungkol sa mga ginagawa nya.
Pati anak namin di na nya inaalagaan ng mabuti kasi maagang aalis ng bahay at uuwi naman ng madaling araw. Minsan iniwan nya yung bata na mag isang natulog sa gabi,hindi rin umaatend ng mga meetings sa school ng bata. Kahit saan nalang nya iniiwan ang anak namin. At minsan pa iniwan pa nya yung bata sa bahay ng babae nya. At palagi din po umiiyak ang bata dahil tinutukso ng mga tao na may ibang mama na daw sya. Sabi din ng teacher nya na may time na naging tulala ang bata sa klase nya,dahil siguro sa mga naririnig nya sa labas na hindi maganda tungkol sa papa nya.
Wala po syang stable job,pa extra extra lng. Minsan ngdrive ng tricyle or mag wiring sa mga bahay bahay.
Nung ng bakasyon po ako march 2015,kinuha ko yung anak namin at hinahabilin ko po sa mama ko. Dun mas maaalagaan sya ng mabuti at mapapakain sa saktong oras. Pinapadalhan ko na lang ng pera buwan buwan para sa lahat ng gastusin ng bata.
At nung bumalik na ako dito sa abroad,ngbalak naman ang asawa ko na kunin nya yung anak namin kasi magbabagong buhay na daw sya at magpapakabait. At habang wala daw ako dun,sa kanya daw muna ang custody ng bata.
Hindi ako pumayag sa gusto nya,kasi ng alala ako na baka mauulit na naman ang mga ngyayari sa bata dati na nasa poder pa nya. At hindi rin ako naniniwala na magpakabait na sya.
Ang tanong ko po, is there a possibility na makuha ng asawa ko ang anak namin habang wala ako sa pinas? Sa kabila ng mga ginawa nyang pang aabuso sa aming mag ina? Di po ba psychological abuse na ang sinapit ng aking anak? Ayoko na po na maulit ulit ang nadaanan ng anak ko po,na pinapabayaan lang. Ayoko ko na ibigay sa kanya anak namin,pero pinapayagan ko naman sya na bisitahin nya anak namin.
Please po,tulungan nyo po ako kung ano ba ang dapat kung gawin para hindi makuha ng asawa ko ang anak namin. Napakasakit isipin at damdamin na marinig ko na hindi maganda ang kalagayan ng aking anak,tapos wala pa akung magawa kasi andito ako sa malayo ngtatrabaho.

I am a mother of a five year old kid. The father of my son is legally married with someone else. I have been separated with the father of my kid since September of 2014. The father is now living with her legal wife and daughter. Over the months, the father never made any attempt to see, support nor to reach out. Now, the father is demanding for visitation rights. Note, my son is using the last name of the father. Because of what happened, I don’t want the father to be granted of the visitation rights. Here are my questions:
1) What should I do, or what evidences can I present for the visitation rights of the father not be granted?
2) Based on my situation above, is there a any possibility that the visitation rights will be granted?

Good day! My friend just gave birth 2 months ago. They are not married with the child’s father who doesn’t provide any financial support to them. My friend is now living with her family. The father just saw the baby at times that he visited my friend. During my friend’s pregnancy, the father wanted my friend to abort the baby. At the moment, they are not in good terms with the father because she found out that he’s cheating on her. My friend doesn’t want to show again the baby to his father. What will happen if the father demands to see their baby? Can the father file a case against my friend? Please reply. Thank you in advance & God bless!

Hi Atty,
Good day..
My friends wife applied for nullity of their marriage. An invitation letter from psychological doctor and summon was delivered to his residence. Neither of the two invitation was attended by him due to the fact that he was already working abroad to support his family. My friend left on april and the letter was received oct and nov. of the same year.
My question is..is the wife’s application for nullity of marriage valid even though she’s the only one active on it?
Thanks & Regards,
David

Dear Sir/Ma’am,
I nephew is turning 2 years old this November. The father of this 2 year old boy is my brother. The child is illegitimate. The child is with us for 2 years already. My brother is the one taking care of his child with the support of our mom. Lately, the mother has decided to take the child to bring to Davao. Mother says he will come to our house anytime and take the child. Can we file a case or agreement first before she can take the child? The mother is just renting a room and living alone and taking the medication of insulin. Says she will take the child and ask her mother who has a diabetes to take care of the child. According to your statement above parental authority is inalienable or not transferrable. Though we know that a child below 7 years old should be under the mother’s authority. Please advise. Thank you.
Adoption issue. My wife and I filed an adoption case back in 2011 and to this day DSWD has refused to submit the case study report. From what I understand DSWD claims that they have not completed the report because we had moved SILANG TO DASMA and now they need to re due the entire process again which would now be the third time. Question 1. does the change of address give DSWD the right tl with hold the case study report….? keep in mind thecourt ordered last year the release of such report and dswd has also testified to the case study report its finding and recogmendations is that we are qualified and it is in the best interest of the child who has been in our custody since birth. After everything, DSWD is still demanding we re submit all thedocuments, go through police NBI medical home study anc everythkng else again. Question 2… does the testimlny of DSWD on the basis of the case study report, its findings and recomendations meet the requirements of lawor does an actual written report need to be submitted. Thanks in advance for any help or opinion you may have on these issues
Hi… I have two kids a 9 year old girl and a 5 year old boy. They are being invited by my sister-in-law (my husband’s sister) to go and live with them in Japan for 6 months. They asked to become their LEGAL GUARDIANS so that all the privileges their children has can be extended to our kids. We are financially supported by by husbands family because my husband has been in and out of the hospital since 2011. Can you tell me if this is possible? We as parents want the best for our kids and we think that this is a great opportunity for them .
I have to ask the same question.
“How long does a custody case normally last and how much would be the projected cost of one?”
pls email me . thank you
I am Cristina Guarin married with four kids, my youngest child is 3 years old but living apart with them because my husband accusing me that I have another man. He and his mother decided to bring me back in my mother’s house. So all my children now are under my husband’s custody. I want ko know if I can get my youngest child and to be under my custody. What must I do? They not even let me to see my children even an hour or minutes. Please help me.
I have a question. So my brother pregnated a woman. They lived together for about 2 years but the the thing is that the woman forced my brother to have sex with her knowing he was really drunk. He doesnt love her, and he couldnt love her for the fact that the woman has no good manners and also her family. Their relationship was very rocky. My brother met a new woman and he loved her so much that he married her and they had a child. My brother’s son is living with her mother. So the thing is that my brother is a seafarer and he asked our mom to take good care of his son. My brother provides all the needs of his son, enrolled unto a good school, provide his basic needs. Giving him all the love and care. My nephews mom doesnt want his child to see us or even talked to us. They only let my nephew visit us when they dont have nothing to feed my nephew or when there are expenses at school needed to be paid or when his sick. We would always call the boy to come to our house but whenever his with his aunt the boy never answers or even looked at us. They would scold my nephew whenever they sees him talking to us. Before the mom has no job. All the expenses of my nephews are paid by my brother. Now the mom has a job as a domestic helper and left my nephew to her sister. Sometimes my nephew cries because her aunt wouldnt let him be with us. Teaching my nephew not to talk to us. They usually tell others negative things about us saying that we dont love the child, we dont provide him anything. What they want is to give them money for the child. My brother doesnt want to give them money because he knows that the money wouldnt be given to his child but to the womans family. Knowing they will use it for there own wants. The child just turned 7. We want the child to be in my brothers custody. Do we have a chance?

May bf po ako at may anak siya out of wedlock at 8 years old na ngyon.. Tuwing hinihiram nya ang anak nya ay pinagdadamot ng ex gf nya sa kanya. Every month nagpapadala siya ng pera sa anak nya though hindi fix and date at amount like ranging for 1500 to 3000 pesos monthly at naghahati po sila sa tuition fee ng anak nya.
Ang family po ng bf ko at ang family ng ex gf nya ay hindi in good terms.
Ang ex po nya ngyon ay may kinakasama na rin iba at sinabi po ng nanay ng ex gf nya na ililipat daw po ang apelyedo ng bata sa apelyedo ng lalaki which is a married man to other girl. Yun po ang lagi nila panakot sa bf ko. Plus nag message sila noon na kaya na daw nila tustusan ang bata , but still kahit papano ay nagpapadala parin po ang bf. Ngyon po, kami pa po ang timakot na kung hindi sinusustentuhan ang bata ay we face legal actions. At may pagbabanta pa. My proofs po kami na monthly nagpapadala ng pera habang nasa ibang bansa ang bf ko dahil nasa amin ang passbook ng bata. Ano po kaya ang pwede namin gawin since tahimik naman kami at ngyon nandito na ang bf ko sa Pinas ang balak nya na lang instead monetary ay ipag grocery na lang bata para sa buong buwan dahil mas nakakasigurado kami na sa bata napupunta ang pera at hindi kung saan man. Sana po matulungan nyo po kami

I would like to know if my leave in partner found that see mark up a price for her personal profit with out knowing the company, it migth be considee as immoralty and ground to remove the custody?
Dear Attorney
Good day!
My son miggy is now 11-years-old, his mother and I separated while she’s still pregnant for him. However, given the circumstances during the time I am unable to supply support for her financially as she was pregnant to my son regarding her check ups and so on… Though my parents provide all this. I have been supporting my son ever since even his mom and I part ways. I’ve moved here in Australia 6 years ago me and my wife were looking forward to bring him here in Australia to join us live here together with his stepbrother, my son Jori who is 9y/o. Them both get along ever since we were still leaving with Philippines. It was last December 2014 when them both got reunited. Regarding the situation do i still need to take this to the court for me to gain my sole legal right to him? His mom is very willing to let her son joint us here is Aust. By the way his mother has now have 6 kids with her husband. My son is also looking forward to come join us here as he was excited to finally lived with us and his brother. Hope to hear from you when you have time.
Regards,
Jordan
Pls advice. My son is 24 yes old and have a son who us turning 3 yrs.old on Feb. My son is not married to the mother of his child. However he supported the child since birth even the hospitalization of the mother because the child was delivered via c.s., to the best he can and to the extent of us lending him financially. However my son is being deprived of his right as the father whenever he planned to borrow the child to spend time together. First of all the child is being taken cared of not by the mother but by the grandmother because the mother is leaving with the relative in other place while seeking job and very seldom she visits the child. Now we have learned that the mother of the child is pregnant with other man and told a story that the reason why she got pregnant is because a man whom he ask to help her support the child wanted it. The fact that my son supports the child and she said she already is working why do so. For me she exploited the child to ask money from the guy and its immoral to say that’s the reason why she got pregnant. Do you think we have a case . The child is sikly and we learned it from neighbors. Thanks. Well appreciate your advice.

My brother has a 13year old son,but was left by his partner to me and my parents 8 years now. My brother has another family and his ex-partner is overseas. My nephew seldom communicates with her on social media or when she comes back in the Philippines. I acted as his parent by providing him education, clothes, food, almost everything. I sometimes had an argument with her family whenever they want to spend time with my nephew but wasn’t bringing him back on the date that we talked to that causes him not to be present in school. If they plan to get the child, do I have the right to say no? What are my rights? What should I do? I really need your advice. Thank you.

hi! i would just like to ask question about my son who just turned 9yrs old.. me and my partner was together for almost 7 years, we were never married, we lived in his parents house for 4 yrs. on may 13, 2013, i went here in canada for work and later i found out that he was cheating on me, it didn’t go well for the both of us, i asked him to give my son to my family and they will take care of him but he didn’t like it. so after 2 yrs i decided to go back to the philippines and get my son from them. so he did gave him to me. i tried making arrangements with them. since he said that he still want to see our son, take him with him if they both have free time, so i said ok. but in exchange he will still support him financially. he said that he doesn’t want to because my son will be on my family and not with him, he said that he’s not sure whether the money that he will be giving would really be spent on my son. so i told him, if that’s the case, then why don’t you just answer his school fees, that way you will be sure that it would be really spent on our son. but he still doesn’t like it. (he’s earning like 18,000-20,000 pesos monthly btw and lives with his parent so he doesn’t have much expenses to think of) so i said, if that’s the case then ok, i will not allow you to see him as well. then it’s all good. i went back here in canada and continue working(i’m applying btw for permanent residency and i included my son with me). i allow his parents to still see our son, coz i respect them, if they will borrow my son for a day i always let them, on the condition that they will not take him home for their son to see my child. but just recently, last december 21, 2015 i think, they asked me to give them the whole day for them to be with my child, and so i said ok, but only for the whole day, and take him back to my aunt’s house after just like before. but they didnt took him home, instead they said that they will return him after christmas, at first i didn’t allow it, but just to avoid trouble, i finally did allow them, then they borrowed him again for new year, and i allow them again. but just recently i found out that they gave my son a cellphone, so that his father can text and call him everyday without me knowing. so i message them and told them that they shouldn’t have done that. and now they are threatening me that they will go to DSWD to file a complaint against me, coz of my demands whenever they take my child out (which is to not take him home for his dad to see, which is i already allowed since i am allowing them now to take him to their house, and their son lived with them, and by the way, up until this moment they are still decided that my son’s father would not give any financial support to my son if im not gonna allow him to live with them again.) and he is still with the girl he cheated me with. my question is, can they really sue me for anything? if yes, for what?? and they are also threatening me that i’ll have to go back to the philippines if they do that, so it would cost me more since i have to leave my job for a vacation leave(which will not be paid, coz i already spent my vacation leave when i first go back to the philippines last april 2015 to get my son from them) and i’ll have to buy plane tickets of course. if that happens, can countersue them aswel?? and file for damage if ever?? will i be able to get my money back if ever, the plane ticket cost, my supposedly salary for the that time. can they have a custody over my son? i know that my letter is kinda long, but please, i am really in need of any help right now. thank you so much.

Hello Atty.
I am the grandmother of a 2 years and 7 month old baby boy. He is the son of my daughter who is unmarried. She became pregnant while in 4th year college. After graduation… I helped her find work and she was able to get one. She and her boyfriend had some misunderstanding. She and her boyfriend did not live together and did not marry. The father lives with his parents while my daughter stays with me.
Last May 2015, she left home after i have scolded her , we had some disagreement about how she treats his son and about her behavior. She abandoned her son and I was the one who took care of my apo. She just visited her son at least twice…one was December 23, before Christmas. The father supports my grandson in terms of diaper and milk. 2 boxes of Nido and 2 plastics of diaper every 15th of the month. Other needs of my grandson is given by me. We hired a nanny since I am also working as a teacher in a public high school. I am the one paying the nanny.
When my grandson is sick I am the one who brings him to his pediatrician… he has a health card from the father… but the medicines I am the one who pays for it. The father visits him when he brings the milk and diaper. Sometimes he gets his son and they go to the mall.
I would like to ask for your help… I am having a problem . I have texted my daughter and rteminded her of her obligation as a mother to my grandson. But unfortunately she has many reasons not to come and she seldom reply to my texts and never reply to my calls.
When i told her she has to be a mother to his son … she always tell me that I am the one who wanted to take care of my grandson. She says the father wanted to get his son and bring him to Rizal to be taken cared of his parents. I live in Cabuyao, Laguna.. and Im afraid Ill never see my grandson again once I gave him up to the father.
What rights do I have as the grandmother? Can I file for custody?
Please help me… my daughter is not interested on her son. I think she has a new boyfriend and the father also has a new girlfriend.
I would appreciate much if you can tell me what to do….
Thank you very much,
Loving grandmama
Please do not post my REAL NAME…

Hi, the mother of my two kids is married before we had kids (Already have had history of adultery). After we got separated she had another child with another man and left her. She had history of drugs years ago (I don’t have any proof on that and I’m not sure if she’s still using and I just caught her once). But according to the people I know she’s selling her body for money (Not proof, just witnesses). She work far from their house and only goes home once a week. What are the chances of getting the custody of my kids just basing on the mother’s history that she is not fit raising my two kids?

Hello Everyone,
My daugther is now 7 years old and she is leaving with his father and i want to travel with her but the father is not allowing me to so.
please advice on what i can do regarding this matter.
Thank you & best Regards

Dear Atty,
Me and my wife are separated for more than 7 years now. We have 2 children (14 y/o (girl) & 10 y/o (boy). We both have families of our own now. She has 2 children of her own with her new partner. I have 2 kids with my new partner as well. We both agreed that our kids would stay in our place under my sister’s custody as she had no permanent job that time, taking into account also the new 2 children she has with her new partner. Therefore looking after our 2 children was impossible for her to do. And besides, she only asked either the children’s grandmother or her eldest sister to look after the children, instead of herself. And of course I don’t want my 14 y/o daughter to stay with my wife’s new partner apparently for security reasons. Now that she is working in Hongkong as domestic helper (just started working for less a year now) she suddenly changed her mind to send back the kids to her place. I want to keep custody of my children. I understand that the children can have their preference as to whom they want to live with given their ages now. Please help me establish certain legal rules so that she wont be able to simply take the children away as and when she wants to so as not to affect their studies. I am extremely worried for my children to stay under her custody especially that my daughter is already a teenager and is apparently should be given certain restrictions and security.
Looking forward to your response.
Thank you and God bless.

Hi, i need an advise. How do I file dor custody of my two minor nieces, they are 16 and 15 years old. Daughters of my brother. My brother is not married to the mother. But they are still together, problem is they both can’t take care of the children, they can’t even take care of themselves, the mother is a drug addict and she literally do not do anything. The children are not sent to school, last year they ask me to take the children to my home and I did, i sent them to school and they have graduated grade 6 last March. Then the mother suddenly outrages and force to take the children with the help of dswd we let her get the two kids, even if the two kids don’t want to go back with her. The child is asking me to take her back, she wants to . What can I do to make an appeal withbthe decision of the dswd staff? This case was not taken seriously as they do not make the necessary steps, I love my nieces , I want to help them.. Hope you can help me.. Thank you.
Hi atty..
I am just a concerned citizen onthe minors (3)situation.. 9-11 y/o. Can the social worker decide on whats best for the children though the children have chosen to go with their mother already or it must deal with court proceedings? There have been allegations that the mother wasnt able to provide care and support on the children when the children were still under her custody the reason why a year ago the children were brought by their father on his hometown and gave the responsibilty of taking care of the children to her sister while the father works in far city to support financially his children. Now, the reason why the mother wants to get back her children is because of the allegations of sexual abuse on one of her children which have been found already to be untrue yet despite that she still wants her children back afraid of the possibilities of abuses the children might experienced. Regarding this, the children were able to inform about the situation, have been explained on the situation and yet chooses to go with their mother. So the social worker agreed to turn the custody to the mother. What can you advice atty?
tanong k lng po pano po mpupunta sakin ang ank ko ay , gusto k n po mkpghiwalay sakaing asawa pero ayw nya naman po,pero lagi nia poako pihihiya sa mga kpitbahay namin lagi sya ngsasalita ng masasakit n salita s harap mismong mga ank ko, 7 at 5 po ang ank ko

Dear Sir/Madam,
I have a serious case of parental abduction, my wife left with my two children. I have a daughter who is 3 years old and a son 1 year and 4 months. My wife is unfit to take care of my children, I fear for the safety of my children. At the moment they are here in manila hiding and living with his brother. Unfortunately I have no idea where his brother lives, the only thing I know is that they live next to luneta somewhere along the pier. I heard that they will be leaving to Cotobato city tomorrow.
Fortunately she will not take them to another country, not just yet. I am in need of your help and support to have my children back. Their safety is my concern, they are still weak and too young.
I have a 6 year old son and 1 year old daughter who is with my wife’s sister in Davao. Since my wife and I has been living abroad since we got married in 2010. We have decided for me to go home Philippines first to get a job and stay in Cebu for good. I have already obtained a job in Cebu and I am suppose to get our children from Davao to Cebu. However, my wife who is still abroad change her mind that I cannnot get our children without her presence. My concern is that this coming June will open the new school year and I wanted to settle my son to enroll first-hand before the school-year starts. I dont want my son to suffer from Mid-school transferee syndrome that could affect his childhood social and emotional well being as he needs to adjust himself to a new environment ang people if he wi start the 1st half of school in Davao and another half in Cebu.
Do I have the right to get my children from Davao to Cebu without the presence and consent of the mother?
I really need you advice as soon as possible as I need to arrange it accordingly.
Hi sir! I know this post is already old but i was wondering what I could do to keep my soon to be 5 years old daughter. By the way I’m the father. My wife and I are are falling out and last late she came home drunk from the house of her parents. Both her father and mother are habitual drunks and profane language are said regularly. I was the one who helped her with her studies so that she can graduate. I don’t want my daughter to grow up in such an environment. When she was still in her studies in her high school and from what I saw during her college days. They either frequent the barangay hall or the police outpost due to their fighting due to their drunkeness. At one point, her father got dragged to the police station because they nearly killed each other with bolos. Is there anything I can do to keep custody of my daughter. Thanks in advance!!! By the way, her mother said “nakita nya sa bahara na nagloloko daw ako.” They opened my messenger/Facebook account and found my conversation with my thesis/capstone advisee to whom I said paggraduatin muna kita. they behemently insisted that that was the other women. My student has a daughter almost same age as mine and is living with her live-in partner and they are living with the boy’s parents. From there things went south…
Atty. Fred I have a 3 months old son. My husband and I having consistent quarrels as to where the child goes to. After me giving birth my son is with his family for 3 months. When his parents went back to the province we had hin for 3 weeks. My husband wanted that every after 2weeks we have to bring my child to their place. I cannot leave with his family due to my consistent bad experience with my sister in law. I have been vocal about this with my husband however he continously put his family first instead of my concerns. I want us to separate now due to this circumstances that will evetually be harmful for my child. What should I do next?

Hi, my child is in the care of the father and i am working in singapore. I asked my parents to fetch my son over their place but they didnt give my son to my parents (he is not registered in my sons bc) the police and dswd on their place were also involved and they told my parents that they cannot assist my parents with this matter and that only i can go and take the child back. I am working outside the country, is there any alternative without me having to go back home? I hope you can advise me on this. Thank you!
Can the DSWD make a decision regarding the child’s custody?the child is living with his father and the boy is already 10 yrs old
No, the court has its own social worker and not from dswd, all is by the judges decision, my suggestion is just bribe the court, since the child is 10 already. Go to the office next to the court, and ask for a officer staff of the judge, talk to him or her and make ur offer. Dswd is just govt project of corruption means. Try going there anonymously and inquire yourself, see how stupid they operate, all of them.
Hi. I’m 23 I will be having a baby with a woman from Subu. We are not together and never will be. I don’t live in Asia any more. I want to ease the child in Ireland my country. Do o have any rights in this case?
Dear Ma’am/Sir,
Good day!
I would like to ask if what case can be file to a person who registered the name of a baby in his/her name? Who has not pass thru legal adoption, the baby was newborn gave by somebody and paid 7,000 pesos only. The baby was late registered and the baby was baptized already, can you help me with my inquiries? Thank you!
Lol he/she will just rebat your file of motion, and will succeed and can even sue you for money, i suggest file a motion of visitorial rights, after achieving visitorial rights of 2 days atleast, get a medical report saying the child is not in goodshape, file a motion and do not return the child, and do not the bring the child on court, after this the case will just go on and go on, you dont even have to attend, and civil case and contempt will not imprison you. So do not be scared. Then move to another town change name and everything, start over.
Misleading info, its always going to be under the mothers custody, that 7 years old law is crap, I filed a case of sole custody, and the case took 4 years and still nothing, our judicial system is corrupt and slow, all the money i spent went to nothing, i suggest do it the illegal way, kidnap and change your kid’s name. See our country is corrupt and lawless by technicality, why follow it? I followed this website’s advise, don’t be a a victim like me…

Dear Atty,
I have 2 kids, 1 is 4yrs. old & 12 yrs. old. my husband & I were living on his parents since we got married 15 yrs ago, pero di ko n po makasundo ang parents niya at palagi na rin kaming nag-aaway. Meron ibang anak ang asawa ko at gumagamit din siya ng ipinagbabawal na gamot at wala din naman siyang hanapbuhay. Ako ang nagma-manage ng water station business na nakapangalan lng sa kanya. Alam ng magulang niya ang kanyang bisyo at sa kanyang anak sa iba pero wala silang magawa. May kaya ang pamilya nila. Gusto ko nang makipaghiwalay at dalhin ang mga anak ko. Wala akong trabaho sa ngayon pero may naipon ako na alam ko makasasapat para makapagtayo ako ng negosyo at pwde din ako magtrabaho dahil nakatapos ako ng pag-aaral bilang isang Tourism graduate. Hindi nila alam na may naipon ako. Sinasabi ng biyenan ko na hindi ko basta basta madadala ang mga anak ko nang hindi kami nag-uusap mag-asawa. Alam ko naman po na hindi siya papayag na dalhin ko ang mga bata. Ayaw ko rin naman iwan sa kanila kahit pa alam kong kaya nilang buhayin ang anak ko dahil kung sila ay hindi nila kayang alagaan ang mga sarili nila at sa kondisyon ng anak nila ay baka masira ang pag-aaral ng anak ko kapag nalaman niya ang tungkol sa ama niya. Ano po ang maipapayo nyo sa akin at ano ang pwede kong gawin. maraming Salamat po.

Goodmorning ask ko how i can take custody of my son, im separated . the mother is now in prison i am the legal father . what steps can i do to legally have custody of my son .
Good day Atty .
I would like to ask for advise regarding child custodianship. I am married for three years , have a 2 year old son and I am the one working for our family. During those 3 years, I am trying to extend my patience with regards to the attitude of my wife. But, patience has its own limits. I am planning to end our relationship since it is no longer healthy especially to my son. If that happens, I would strongly fight for the custodianship of my son since I could not bear if he grows up without proper guidance and with the same attitude as hers (considering that she’s been raised by her parents as a spoiled brat). It has been a routine for us that after every argument, she tends to be responsible but after a couple of days, her true identity shows up. Aside from being irresponsible, being too demanding is another topic for us. I admit that I have this “kuripot” attitude, but it just for our own good since I am saving it for our future. Everytime she asks for something (which is really unnecessary, considering also my salary I have) and I cant provide, for sure argue begins.
Atty, would unemployment and her attitude problems (irresponsible) be enough to have my right of child custodianship?..
Thank you and hoping for response.
Best regards,
Jonathan

Dear Lawyers,
Hello. I have a situation. In 2009 I started borrowing my relatives daughter because she was so cute and adorable, since were related the father didn’t seem to be bothered if the child stays with us, I left her with my parents because I have to go to the US to be with my husband and since I have not adopted her yet,I cannot bring her. Now the child is 7 years old turning 8, still the father is a happy go lucky guy. Known as a womanizer and have various kids to different mothers, he got married but womanizing is still there,he never got to support her, when kids was still in formula I used to call him when I don’t have money to buy milk for her coz technically its his daughter,yes he did bring sometimes but not all the time and I found out that He will quarrel with his sister to buy the milk for him when I knew that I never bothered him of the milk or even the vitamins or the doctors check up, its all in my mom and me but sometimes the aunt gives too because she felt shy about the situation, I just want him to be responsible and all but never mind. Like I have said the child is turning 8 and I am the one sending her to school,from tuition, uniform,clothes,allowance,everything and I’m doing it because I love the kid so much. The mother was no where to be found the only time the kid saw her mom when the kid was less than a year old maybe 10 months that’s it and the mom have children from different fathers too. Now the child is with her aunt because my parents were too old to took care of her, but i still do all the financial support. What concerns me is the welfare of the child, the environment she is in is not good and she developed and turned to be emotionally disturbed and I sent her to a Psychologist with her cousin who is a nurse. The Psychologist say that she has to be in a complete family or she will became worst. The aunt she is living now have 2 kids of different fathers too, and I feel bad because the father will not give her to me, His alibi was the mom will not allow, but how come the mother is no where to be found and my concern is the welfare of the child. Her father lives with her aunt but every time I called her on week end I asked her if his dad is talking to her all she said that his father never talk to her or hi is not there or with his girl friend, when the aunt was pissed off of her ( well, kids are kids, they are messy and all) she sent her to their relatives and let stay there for a couple of days but what I don’t like in their other relatives place is that it is “Den of drug addicts,drug pushers and thugs) it is not a got environment either, they don’t bring her to my parents because they were old already. I cried each night in my prayers that God will allow me to get her and to provide her a loving and safe family. What can I do? please help me?
Thank you and God bless
I have a 5 years old child with my first live in partner,we separate because he always beats me..Now I have already husband and we are married..My problem is I left my child with my husband because I have to work ..Can my 1st live in partner get my child even without me there??
I hope you can give me a piece of advice..Thank you in advance.
hello attorney, i have an issue right now the child ‘s age is 1 year old and is in the custody of the mother. the parents of the child have separated (my brother is the father) the child was with us from birth until 6 months she was very healthy back then, she’s fat (her cheek would even turn red) , in fact she had never incurred any illnesses even for a minor fever. Due to misunderstanding between my brother (father) and the mother she decided to go back to their home province with the child. six months later they came back to us because she could not support the child anymore as she got no job that time. So we got her back with the child and i took pity of my little niece because she was so thin, alot of skin rashes at her back and the neck part was reddish and developed into small wounds (i guess it was because they failed to wipe out the milk that came out from her mouth traveling down to the neck part and perhaps sweat. the worst thing was we have brought the child in several occasions to get checked by the doctor because of fever and upon diagnostic result the kid was diagnosed with tuberculosis (minor) we got her treated immediately, we changed her milk supplement according to pedia’s prescription and slowly day by day the child was regaining her strength and health. now since the child is healthy again she took her back to the province where i feared the child might be exposed again to illnesses and will not be well taken cared of.. the mother of the child is working in the city and she leaves the to her mum’s custody which they dont really have enoughresources to support the child, its in a slum area which the child can be exposed to sickness, they couldnt provide the needs the child and the mother can only visit there once a week as she stays in the city due to distance. what can we do about this? i am concern ofthe well being and welfare of the child what if somethin worse will happen again. please help me attprney

Hi! I have a relative. he is the father of the child. they got separated with his live in partner. these past few months, he stopped giving financial support because he was too mad that he couldn’t even have his child or even can have time to bond with her. The mother of the child wont let him have time with the child outside of their house. there were times that he wanted to borrow the child to bring her to his sick father but he was too frustrated because the mother wont allow her. My relative just want to know if he has right to demand or request visitation even just once a week to have time with his child?
Your answers are highly appreciated.

He has symptoms of Narcisictic personlity disordr and a self xonfesed multiple prsonlitu disorser.he declined seeing a doctor.

Good day sir,
My ex live-in partner had an affair while we were together for two years. We had a son. Even though she had an affair, I still stayed hoping she would change for the better. But I was wrong. In the end, I left her and pursued for my nursing review. I tried getting my son back because of her mother’s ill attitude towards my little boy. And now, she won’t even let me have a time with my son. What legal steps should I take towards this situation?
Hoping for your kind reply.

I am an American and i am married to a filipina and i have a child. I went back to America almost 7 years ago and got a good job and was going to bring my wife and child to America but i got hurt could not work. I have been fighting for SSDI for 6 years, and i finally won, but my wife has another man now even though we are still married. I am going to go back and live in the Philippines and be with my daughter. My wife has taken a job overseas and left my daughter with her aunt. She said i can’t make my daughter an American citizen so she can have rights to my SSDI if i die before she is 18. She also said i cant be alone with my daughter and she cant live with me while she is working in Taiwan. Can I take her to court for rights to my daughter even though i am not a Philippine citizen? Do I have any rights to my Filipino daughter?
I adopt my niece baby (4months) last February because she couldn’t raise her. Even at first I don’t want to because I’m single but she said she will look for someone to adopt her baby if I don’t agree. Because of that, I took her in my care. We had a written and signed document along with our witness that she is surrendering her daughter to me as I am going to be the mother of her child. I even ask her to think about it and stayed at my home for 2 weeks with her whole family. The reason I agreed to adoption because of the things she did back while she just gave birth and tried to cover her baby’s mouth and nose (basically trying to kill her) and there’s a point in time where she can only feed her baby water and sugar. Also, she bathes her on the drum full of water. I am worried for her welfare so I decided to adopt her (not legal adoption).
I care and give everything for that baby for seven months I also allowed them to visit her. Though times that they wanted to come here at my home but it seems that the real mom doesn’t give a damn of her baby. Then they told me that the sister of the father of the child wants to adopt the baby as well. Then her story rumbles and she wants now to at least to give her 1 day to spend time with the baby and take her all the way from Bulacan. That’s the time I said that I won’t allow it since I am already the mother of her child. That she is not some kind of a dog or a thing to be borrowed.
Then after a month DSWD came to our home and gave me a letter to appear for the custody. I explain to them in tondo dswd about what happened, how it all began. Then the dswd told me that I do not have the right to claim her baby. But, she will still remain in my care and they will investigate first for 3 months if the mother is capable to taking good care of the baby. If she can support her every day needs. In the mean time, she has to start supplying her milk and diapers.
That was tuesday but just a 2 days after they came again and she already got the letter from DSWD San jose del monte bulacan granting her to take the baby. That she is capable.
How can she be capable that easy if she couldn’t even support herself? That she is studying and also working as a sales lady. How come they granted her shouldn’t they look if she is capable psychologically and mentally as well? Is it possible because they should have called me in there to know my side of the story before they grant her?
I really do need your advice. I am worried about the baby. She is starting to get sick.

Hello Atty,
My sister passed away September of last year. She have two kids 4 and 2 years old. The kids is now in the costudy of their grandparents in father side. He (the father of my neice) is now working in one of those well-knowed company in our country, getting a salary of just a minimum (less than 500Php/day). I know that even if your salary is more than Php 500 it is still not suffecient enough to have fair living . Specilly when you are renting a room and own no car. If i can prove to the court that i am more capable and financially ready. Now i want to ask you if their is any posibility to have the costudy of my neice having that situation.

I wanted to file a case not to actually take the cuatodybof the kid ut just to get her to study outside our sleepy place.
Is there any avenue in phil law i can explore to force her into submission?
I need your in depth advice on this and if you may, kindly give me your number or other contacts(email perhaps) so we can discuss this at length.

my brother wants to get custody of his 2 years old daughter. his live-in partner lives in the province with the child and always leaves the child with the care of her mother who too old to care of my niece, whenever she wants to leave the province and go to manila. most of the times, napapabayaan na po yung bata. his live-in partner already abandoned her first born with another man and now in the care of her previous live-in partner. pumapayat yung bata, may mga sugat sa kung saan saan bahagi ng katawan.
nakuha ng brother ko yung anak nya at pina check-up, mostly virus and caused ng mga sugat na pabayaan kaya kumalat.
may chance po kaya na makuha na ng brother ko anak nya and just to stay with him. willing po kameng kumuha ng lawyer for this concern. thanks.
Hi Attorney,
Just want to ask for some advise. I am married and I found out that my husband has a mistress and left our house with our 1 year old son. I allowed him to borrow our son once a week since he’s still the father provided that he will not bring my son to his mistress. But then a friend told me that they see posts in social media showing that my husband and my son is together with the mistress in a resort. My husband is not telling me the truth of my son’s whereabouts when he borrowed it. So knowing that I told my husband that I will no longer allow him to borrow my son. And now that he no longer borrow’s my son, he also stopped his financial to us every month.
Can I still demand for his financial support to me and my son even if I no longer allow him to borrow my son, even if I have reasons to do so? Are my reasons valid for not allowing him to borrow my son?
Hoping for your advise on this matter.
Thank you,
Cams
Good Day!
Gusto ko lang po ikonsunlta itong problema ko.
May dalawa po akong anak at sila ay nasa pangangalaga ng kanilang ama kasama ang Lolo at Lola nila.
Ito po ay sa kadahilanan na mayroon kaming problema ng ama ng aking mga anak kaya kami ay pansamantalang naghiwalay.
Nagkaroon kami ng kasunduan na hihiramin koang aking mga anak kapag bakante ako dahil ako po ay isa pang estudyante. Ang problema ko po ngayon ay ipinagbabawalan ako ng kanilang Lola na sila ay bisitahin.Ano po ang magagawa ko?
Hi im jeffrey kasi po young lola ng anak ko gustong makuha sa akin pero nag usap na po kmi ng ina ng aking anak na sa akin muna ang anak namin ngaun medyo nag away po kami ng ina ng aking anak ngayon po gusto ng lola ng anak ko ay sakanya dw po ang anak namin.

What are my rights as a mother…i am unemployed,and i am planning to get a job before i leave him,otherwise my parents and my siblings will be the kne to support me and my children financially…if i dont get a job immediately.
Thank you

Hi Atty! My cousin is in need of help. His youngest child who is 2 years old was taken by his wife (they are separated but not yet legally) without his permission. He is no longer seeing his youngest as his wife does not allow it. Their 2 eldest who are 11 yrs old and 8 yrs old is under his custody. In addition, his youngest is in Quezon City being cared for by his wife’s relatives and the wife is living in Laguna. Please help us on how to get the custody of the child or even get his visiting rights.

Hi Atty.,
I have a UAE national friend and asking for your assistance to help him get his son to his wife in the Philippines. They have been separated for 3 years now and the wife is currently working in Lebanon while his son is being taken care of the wife’s mother. is there a way that he can get his son and bring him here in UAE.
can we call you and ask for all the requirements needed, because his planning to go there to process this case and he can start preparing on the requirements the court might be needing while he is still here.
Thanks,
Ivy

Hi po atty nabuntis po ang kapatid ko nung nasa college sya at of course nung sinabi ng kapatid ko sa lalake. Deny naman si lalake na hindi kanya yung bata. And so after she give birth the family of the guy claim the baby that it’s their sons child. Nasa kalinga ng kapatid ko ang bata at the since the hindi pa ito dinalaw ng lalakeng nakabuntis sa kapatid ko sa bahay kung saan nakatira ang mag ina maliban sa mga magulang ng lalake. Hindi pinagkait ng kapatid ko na dalhin ng mga magulang ng lalake na nakabuntis sa kapatid and bata para mamasyal sa kanilang probisya at binabalik din naman nila itong bata sa ina. Walang kontak ang kapatid ko at ang lalakeng nakabuntis sa kanya. May mga buwan at araw na iniiwan ng kapatid ko ang bata sa nanay ko para makapag trabaho sa ibang probisya at matustusan ang pangmgailangan ng bata. Tumutulong din ang mga magulang ng nakabuntis sa kapatid ko. Pero nitong makaraang buwan at araw simula nung buntis ang kapatid ko sa fiancée nya panay na ang harass ng mga magulang ng lalakeng nakabuntis sa akin na kukunin nila ang bata kasi wala daw syang trabaho at di kayang tustusna ang pangangailangan ng bata. Ang fiancée po nya ang may trabaho at sya po ang katiwala ko sa bahay ko sa pinas at nagpapadala po ako buwan buwan ng pera sa kanya. Pinipilit din po nila ang kapatid ko na palitan ang apilyedo at ibigay sa kanila ang bata. At pinagkamamalaki din po nila ang mga bigay at tulong nila sa bata. At nagtatangkang idedemanda daw nila ang kapatid ko. Ano po ba ang pwedeng gawin? What visitation rights? Can she file for visitation set up? And can she file for child support even though they are not married? At yung lalakeng nakabunstis sya kanya I think is Philippine army. Is he breaking any law by denying the child? Thank you so much.
I have a friend, her and her husband verbally separated last November 17, 2016. They have a verbal agreement that they will have a schedule in custody of their son (weekdays for hers and weekends for him). They are living separately since November. Yesterday, February 7, 2017, her husband secretly took her son away without any permission from her. Blocked her on Facebook, phone cannot be reached. All of her family members was blocked on his Facebook account. Luckily, she was able to logged in to his Facebook account and find out they went to VIGAN. His niece accommodated them there. Is there a chance that she can have her son’s custody because of what he did? Is it considered as kidnapping in her husband’s side?

Good day Atty.
Does those “compelling reasons” rule also apply to illegitimate child or only bound for legally married?
Thanks and regards,
Bry
Atty. good evening where would it be okay to get in touch with you?
Atty, I am a mother of 2 kids, the father who is now living-in with both our former officemate, does not want to comply to the agreement that when the kids are with Him, the girl should not be with them. For some moral reasons. . .
He sent a demand letter back, saying that he does not only want an overnight but 3 days in a week. My kids are 4 and 3 years old. And I really don’t want them to have overnights with Him. Because he has moral issues too. Should we reach court, is there a possibility he would be granted to be with kids for a longer time? Thank you very much.
Magandang Araw po,

Di naman po ganon kaayos ang pamumuhay nila sa batangas… Gusto po ng kapati ko na makuha nya yung anak nya.. Ano po kayang ang maaari naming gawin… Salamat po.
Hi, I am an American residing in the Philippines and I have 2 children, ages 5 and 3 who are in the custody of my ex-gf, who I could never marry because she lied to me and said she was single but turned out to be married to another Filipino dude who is an OFW in Saudi. We ended up having 2 kids because she knew how to abuse and control me. She lied to me and said she had an annulment but she is a compulsive liar.
She now has a new black American boyfriend who is sending her Western Union money by remittance every month, so she now wants to cut me out of the picture and replace this guy as my kids’ father and she makes my kids call this ugly baldheaded dude “DADA”.
She is using a very extreme form of parental alienation against me and she even took my son out of kindergarten (I was paying the tuition), so she can ensure that my kids cannot speak to me in English since my tagalog is kunteelang. She has hardly any education so school is not really important to her and books are like Kryptonite to her unless it is a porn magazine.
She is really insane and I really can’t figure out how I got caught up in such a mess. Loyalty or stupidity? I guess both? My kids look awful…malnourished,scars from mosquitoes and random beatings from her. Filipinos wont listen to me bc she plays the vicitim and tells everyone im some psycho foreigner who gets drunk daily and likes domestic violence. The crazy thing is that I’ve been separated from her for 4 years now so her reasons for paternal alienation cannot be validated. I am guilty of calling her a scumbag whorebitch and cussing her out constantly (which im trying to get under control) but what do you expect? She is robbing me of precious time with my children that cannot be replaced..
I filed a case with DSWD but they are slow to respond and they use a yahoo email address which makes me think this agency is very underfunded and understaffed because they dont reply to my emails and none of their phone numbers work. I was assigned a case worker but she called me once and never called again. I don’t know what kind of agency that is but it seems very unorganized and they really dont know how to handle parental alienation cases? I’m not sure. I hope they will do something or I guess I need a lawyer in this situation.
If you are a lawyer and you geniunely care about helping me (not collecting high retainer fees from a foreigner) because I love my kids and the only thing I am guilty of is ending a 6-year relationship with the craziest bitch from Tondo, Manila, please contact me at acuario2015 at gmail dot com. Thanks!
Good Day Attorney,

Dear Atty Fred,
I need your advise as I am in desperation.
I have five (5) children – ages 21 (M), 17 (M), 16 (F), 10 (F) and 8 (M). My wife dumped me last February, 2017 after she was promised that she will get a job in Saudi Arabia by a Filipino-Saudi-based recruitment agency to take care of a Saudi Prince son within the first semester this year. For me it was a relief that she personally declared that we get separated as many a times I have wanted but did not do so for I thought things can be remedied for the sake of an intact family. She is still in the Philippines… waiting for the overseas work as promised.
1.) In 2001 I went to the US & worked as an OFW for four (4) years. During these times I was sending US$500 to US$2,000 a month, depending on the extra income I got but on the average US$1,500 per month for four (4) years. After 4 years, I decided to go home thinking that my wife was already able to save. So when I went back to the Philippines in August, 2005 and to my dismay I had only P60,000 in the PNB account of my wife. I went berserk hoping I can build a house for my family. I left them, there were still 3 children at that time as they stayed with my in-laws when I left for the US and for four (4) months I was a mess. Many information came out that my wife was having the “best times” of her life while I was in the US.
In January, 2006, I went to my senses that it was just money & decided that family was important. So, I forgave her. Strike One forgiven.
2.) I was able to get good-paying jobs, twice in fact in 2006-2008 and 2008-present. She was a full housewife and all my salary (ATM) was with her. Many a times, I asked her how she spent the money as we always ran out and even have to take petty loans to get both ends meet. All I got was ranting that I be the one to do the budgeting that of course, I cannot do because my job required and still requires traveling. We had already five (5) children then.
In the middle of 2014, she started spending a lot of time again with her friends and came home early in the morning. My three (3) teenage children did not tell me about her escapades until it became worst. On days, weekends and even birthdays when I am home, she left at 7-8PM and return early in the morning drunk! Of course, she had many alibis. The children complained that there was no food in the ref. We started quarreling as I only demanded respect and that she be a good mother to the children. This created a monster out of me & the messy relationship affected the children. Even to a point that my eldest son suggested that I remove their mother as beneficiary in my accident insurance. My children did not tell me all about her escapades as they did not want me to be bothered while working and traveling.
Things got really worst when collectors from lending institutions started knocking at our door with summons for her debts unpaid. The credit card bills skyrocket to the amount of P200,000-plus. My ATM card was a collateral in one of the lending institutions, the iPad I bought for my children was pawned and bills (water, power, cable, internet, etc.) were left unpaid. Finally, in July, 2016 she asked for forgiveness and her reason was “she wanted to hurt me”. And she asked for help to pay her debts as she said she will pay me when she gets a job. I told her then that she did not owe me anything as she owed it all to our children because the money she wasted were for our children. Again, to keep the family intact, I paid her all her debts with my eldest son paying the money to her creditors and had them signed a document. I took numerous loans and even “loaned” my retirement in the amount of P400,000 to pay all her debts and the credit card company.
After I paid her debts, my eldest son took care of the budgeting and she became “sober” until she got a job in a hospital as a nursing-aide with a minimum-wage salary less deductions sometime in August, 2015. My obligation to the numerous loans amounted to P40,000 per month with terms payable in 2-, 3- and even 5-years.
She became the “budget officer” again in 2016. Second strike forgiven.
3.) After one (1) year working, she started to go back to her old ways. During her day offs, she will find time to be with her friends and office mates leaving her children to fend for themselves. After office hours, if say she got off at 11PM, she will be home early morning. She did not answered text messages if asked of her whereabouts. I am not paranoid nor a jealous person as I told her but all I asked from her was respect but it just got worse and I became a monster to my children as we begun quarreling again. Strike three, I had enough.
4.) In February, 2017, she told me that let us just be friends and she asked for dissolution of our marriage. I conceded, at least this came from her and I asked for the ATM card (salary). Before this, I asked her to pay the school fees of my four (4) children amounting to P50,000 and she did not pay the whole amount and used part of the money again. I only knew this when one of my daughters showed me a bill that we still owed the school P6,000 in order for her to take the final exams.
5.) When the school year ended, I brought my youngest 8-year old son to spend time with me in Cagayan de Oro City (CdO). During this time, he told me that he do not want to go back to Iligan City as he will just be staying home, watch TV all day long. He has no playmates in the house or neighborhood we are staying, whereas with me, he gets to meet his cousins and play most of the time with them. He is always left with his older siblings and if his mother was home, she was asleep most of the time. So when I asked him if he wants to study in CDO, he said yes.
My wife does not subscribe to this as she wants all the children to be with her despite her meager salary. She even threatened me that I will never get a single centavo of what is left of my salary because she will sue me and the court will favor her demand being the mother.
Atty. Fred, what is the option left for me? I am financially in debt and coping with the limited money I get during pay days. With my wife out of the way, I can assure that I can enroll my children in good private schools and provide all what I earn to them.

I have a 4 months old son and my ex gf and I were never married. Both of us earn more than the basic salary. She said that she will not strip me off of custodial rights for the kid but I’m just concerned that she will take the kid away from me once she gets into another rel. ( she is already blatantly showing me that she is finding another guy to replace me as the father) what are my rights in this situation if:
1.) She gets married with someone else and wants sole custody of the kid, and stripping me of any paternal rights?
2.) She gets pregnant with someone else but they are also unmarried but planning to give legal rights to the other guy for both children
3.) She takes away the kid from us regardless if she is into another rel. Or not and files a TRO against me but asks for money even though she can also provide for the kid?
I just want some form of custodial rights for the kid if ever she asks for financial support. Ayoko lang maechapwera sa buhay ng anak ko at magbayad ng needs nya pero iba kinikilalang legal father nya. Salamat po in adv.

Boys are 4 and 8. oldest boy was wifes before our marriage was adopted by me in US prior to him and wife becoming US citizens and then reaquiring filipino. youngest boy born in US to wife prior to her being US citizen wife and I married in Philippines. She as no job and only had 7 month job in US. She has house loan, I paying for, and after buying 9 hectares and planting them she suddenly wants me gone – Lied about age to father of first boy, and got pregnant at 15, then lied to hospital and told them she was 19 when boy born. Told another man in facebook chat she did not love me and wanted his ring on her finger, three months after we married -I forgave her. was all lovey dovey till we moved to philippines then forover six months she would take off onweekends and leave me with oldest boy – he in TKD. sometime also leave youngest with me. When I told her that was just too much she told me she no longer wanted sex but would do wifely duty sometimes. Then bought farm land and said we done now. Should I seek divorce in US or annulment in Philippines? I want me and boys to stay in Philippines and been proud of heritage here because they can always go to US later, besides I honestly believe they get better education here in private schools

Magandang araw po sa inyo,
Ako po ay isang ama na nakatira sa Brgy. Krus na Ligas QC, nais ko lamang po dumulog sa inyong tanggapan patungkol sa kustodiya ng aking anak.
Ako po ay hindi kasal sa aking kinakasama at mayroon kaming isang anak na babae na nasa 2 taon gulang na nasa akin po nakaapelyido. Nais ko po sana na humiwalay sa aking kinakasama na kasama ko ang aking anak, dahil po sa kanyang masmang bisyo na paggamit ng droga. Sa ilang taon po naming pagsasama ay marami na pong beses na sya ay aking nahulihan ng mga gamit nya sa pagddroga at dahil sa aking mahabang pasensya ay makailang ulit ko din sya sinabihan at pinagbigyan sa pag-asang darating ang araw at sya ay magbabago at magpupursigi na lamang na maging mabuting ina sa aming anak. Ang kanya pong bisyo ay hindi na lingid sa kaalaman sa aming lugar, maging ang kanyang ina ay alam ang kanyang masamang gawain na ito. Dalawang taon na po ang aming anak, dalawang taon na dn ako na umaasa sa kanyang pagbabago, pero paulit ulit na lamang po ang nangyayari at hindi pa din nya tinitigil ang kanyang bisyo. Ako po ay nangangamba sa kinabukasan ng aming anak, ako lamang po ang may trabaho sa amin lagi ko po iniisip kung paano mkakaipon para sa kinabukasan ng aking anak kung hindi nya tinitigil ang kanyang masamang bisyo, madalas ako ay nawawalan ng pera sa bahay sa sarili naming kwarto at iyon nga po sya nyang ginagamit pang bisyo na sana ay magagastos para sa aming pangaraw araw at para sa bata. Kung sa usapang moral po ay kahit ang kanyang ina ay magsasabi na hindi sya mabuting anak at ina ng kanyang mga anak, dahil san kanyang mainiting ulo at mga pagmumura nito maging sa kanyang ina, marahil dahil na din sa epekto ng masamang bisyo sa kanya. Marami ang nagsasabi na akin na lamang po itakas ang aking anak, pero ako po ay nangangamba dahil alam ko na labag ito sa batas, kaya nman po sa inyo na kinauukulan ako po ay dumudulog ng tulong o payo sa kung ano po ba ang aking dapat gawin para mapunta sa akin ang aming anak ng naaayon sa legal at tamang proseso. Maraming salamat po sa inyong panahon.

Hi.Please Help Me. I am a Filipino, Single Parent.
I am A single parent with two children. The father of my children, ever since Birth Abandoned me, and did not provide a single sent for the bringing up of my children. My children have been living with my parents and my siblings. My Mom and Dad have been the direct guardian to my children. Since the need for financial, i have been working as a Domestic Helper to provide money to my parents for my Children Upbringing. My children have expressed that they don’t want to be with their father, because he is i responsible, and they don’t have future, basic need and providence at the fathers place.The father of my children have not provided anything for them throughout the 13 years that my children have grown Up. In the early days, when i asked for support he refused to provide. Before he cheated me, He already was married, and has children. He is Also A Filipino just like me.
Now, my children are grown up, 12 and 13 years old. Last Month He went to my parents home and took my two children away from the house, and brought them to his house to Stay. He has brainwashed my Children to the extend where now they say they don’t want to come back to their grandparents place, and they want to stay there. when i spoke to my Kids, They are crying on the phone, and someone from behind is saying telling them ” Don’t speak to your mom, Just ignore her, If she calls again, just don’t speak to her”
My parents are sick, and they find it difficult to talk to the father of my children. He did not even ask permission from me and he took them away from my parents home. When i spoke to him, he said your children don’t want you and they don’t want to go back home. He and his family have brainwashed my children and they are crying on the phone.
I really need help in this situation. Please Advice me accordingly. I am working as a Domestic Helper in Overseas. i need to report this and get Custody For my Children.
Dear Attorney,
I am a single mother of 2 kids. For almost 7 years na pong walang support yung tatay ng mga anak ko. 7 years ago nagpunta kami ng mother ko sa barangay nila to ask for child support. Yet as per barangay’s advised sabi po ay kausapin muna yung side ng tatay nila. Nagpunta kami sa bahay ng lalake , nakausap namin yung nanay at yung lalake. Sabi nila wala pa raw maibibigay dahil wala pa raw trabaho yung lalake. After that day, wala na po kaming narinig mula sa side nila kahit anong paramdam wala po. Wala po talagang naging assistance. paano ko po maililipat sa surename ko ang mga anak ko. Naka affidavit po kasi sa kanya yung mga bata. Gusto ko po sana kung pwedeng ilipat sa pangalan ko ang mga anak ko. Sana po matulungan nyo po ako. Salamat po.

Good afternoon Atty,
I would like to ask a question in regards to my husband issue. he has child in Philippines with his past relationship. he acknowledge the child and sign the birth certificate, we have no problem of giving a monthly support but the mother of a child is refused to do the DNA TEST. and keeping the child from his father. and say to just disappear. and now she’s telling to her friend that to file a abandonment case which she is the one refused to participate of what the father of a child request. and cut all the communication as well.
This is almost the same with my concern, mine is my wife cut off all my communication with them, I’m planning to retaliate by not giving my monthly support, will I get sued?
Please read this post: https://pnl-law.com/blog/legal-support-child-ra-9262/
Hello!
This is for a friend of mine in the Philippines (I’m not local) that’s desperately need help and solution for his situation.
He has a 8 months son with his ex-girlfriend that is still living with him right now. She is still living with him and his family because she was kicked out from her own family and nobody wanted her back, and since the child was his, he accepted her in before she gave birth even though they broke up before that.
The issue is, the mother of the child never takes care of the baby. She didn’t breast feed him ever since he was born. She is staying with him because of shelter benefit and uses the son as an anchor for her to stay at his house. He even quit his job because nobody will be able take care of the baby 24/7 as his parents are also busy with work, and the ex-girlfriend does not care much to be at home for the baby and carried on with her work for her own benefit.
He and his family got tired of her attitude of staying in the house for free without helping them in any way. They are planning to kick her out from the house but there will be a high chance that she will sue them for the custody of the child & child support and they do not trust her that she is able to take care of the child as she barely spends time with her own son.
How can he win against this kind of lawsuit?
Thank you.
Hello Atty,
Magtatanong lang po about sa child custody between grandparents at father. simula nung sinilang ang bata ay mga grandparents na po ang nag alaga sa kanya dahil ang tatay naman ay di maka provide ng tamang responsibilities para sa family nya. in short po, walang kwenta ang tatay. Ngayon po ang bata ay 10 yrs old na at balak bawiin ng tatay ang bata dahil siya nalang po mag alaga at malamang maghihirap sila kasi wala naman po trabaho ang tatay. while binibigay lahat ng grandparents ng bata ang lahat ng gustuhin at magandang paaralan para gumanda ang future. May laban po ba ang mga grandparents sa child custody ng bata? ma cocover kaya sila ng batas?
Hi Atty,
Greetings!
I’m a single mother, but I was married to my daughter’s father. He abandoned us years ago. He has gone missing for 9 years as well. He left when my daughter was still 5 years old. I know annulment is super expensive and I won’t be able to file for it. I am truly praying I could fight for separation and full custody of my daughter. My income is enough to help me and my daughter with our day to day expenses and savings is there in case of medical emergency and for her school needs . For 9 years, her father has not supported her not even a single penny.
I asked about custody and they said I need to file it and it would take 1 year or more 🙁
What other options do I have to make the process faster. Me and my daughter just want our freedom and to fix documents for my daughter’s future. Thank you.

Magandang araw po. Hingi po sana ako ng advice kung anong dapat kong gawin dahiL yung dati ko pong kinakasama itinakas yung anak namin. Okay Lang naman po sana sakin basta mag kasama siLa kaso iniwan nya sa probinsya. Natatakot po ako sa kaLagayan ng anak ko dahiL ang pinag iwanan nya po ay yung LoLo at LoLa nya, kapatid nya and tito nya. (matanda na po yung LoLo’t LoLa nya, manginginom pa yung LoLo, yung kapatid nya pumapasok sa schooL kaya di ko din po masabing mababantayan yung baby ko tapos yung tito nya na may mentaL and psychoLogicaL disorder ata yo’n? Worried Lang po sa kaLigtasan ng anak ko tapos yung nanay nya dito panay Lang ang good time. May Laban po ba ako sa chiLd custody?
I am the father of a baby boy born in 2015. His mother and I were not married and broken up before we learned of her pregnancy. I paid her prenatal care and for a needed cesarean section. (Although she pocketed the money I provided for a private hospital and checked into the public hospital instead.)
Since birth, I have provided support but the mother has allowed less and less time with my son. Now she works as a GRO (prostitute) in a bar and told me she has left my son in a remote mountain barangay with her relatives. She gave me a number to contact them to arrange to visit him but it always rings unattended.
I have offered many times to take him and care for him as she is unable and her family are indigent. She agreed initially to get money and delay, but now she refuses even though she is not caring for him. As a compromise, I offered joint custody with her parents. She told me to discuss it with her father, but the number she gave me for him always fails.
I have not seen my son for almost 5 months now and am looking for legal options. Is her immoral lifestyle as a prostitute and abandonment of him with indigent relatives sufficient grounds to declare her unfit as a mother and gain full custody? If not, what are my options?
Note: My name does not appear on his birth certificate and he is not carrying my name at this time.
Hello po attorney, sana po matulungan nyo ako I need some legal advice. May daughter po ako 2 years old palang po sya and hindi kami kasal father nya. But when I delivered my baby andun yung father nya to recognize my baby na sya yung daddy and magka surname sila sa birth cert kasi at that time magka live in partner pa kami, we were both students at that time pa pero since maka graduate na ko naghanap na agad ako ng work then sya student paren and as time goes by nalaman ko mga bisyo nya, excessive drunkness nya mga biyso nya like alak, barkada, yosi, babae, marijuana. Yes marijuana!. And nalaman ko nagka affair sya sa isang babae nung kami pa. And naghiwalay kami after that and then nagkabalikan kami for the sake of our baby. And after a year lagi na kami nagaaway gawa ng mga bisyo nya then naghiwalay ulit kami then nalaman ko na nagkaroon ulit sya ng babae after namin maghiwalay. I tried na papiliin sya kung yung anak namin o ung babae. Yung girl yung pinili nya pero lage paren sila nagkakasama nung girlfriend nya, take note he is still a student and doesn’t even have a job to pay child support for my daughter. Umaasa lang sya sa magulang nya. And after that, I made a choice na di na ipakita yung anak ko sa kanya but to his family esp. to his mother and father nakikita pa nila hinahayaan ko sila mag visit samin. But everytime na kasama nila yung daddy ng anak ko di ko hinahayaan na makita nya o mahawakan yung anak ko. And dun sila nagalit, they want to file a case sa barangay dahil sa ginagawa ko. This is my question po is it legal for them (the “lola” the mother of my ex-bf” to file a case for me. And ano ang laban ko para di makita muna ng daddy nya yung baby ko take not nagamit ng marijuana ung tatay ng anak ko he may be a bad influence to her. Salamt ng marami attorney

Hello Atty.,
Hihingi po sana ako ng tulong sa inyo. Yung 6 years old ko kasing anak ay nasa byenan ko. Hiwalay na kami ng asawa ko. Ngayon po, ayaw ng byenan ko na ipahiram ang anak ko sa kin. Gusto nya dalaw lang. Tapos nanghihingi pa sya ng pera sa kin para daw sustento. Tapos meron daw akong pinirmahang subpoena na nagsasabing hindi ko makukuha ang anak ko sa kanya. Gusto ko po sanang makuha ang anak ko. Ano po ba ang kailangan kong gawin? Sana po matulungan nyo ko. Salamat po.
I need a lawyer’s prespective on this situation concerning earning the custody of an 8-year old girl to the father. The girl currently lives with her mother in her family household that includes the grandparents and 5 other family members. Recently, a family member (grandma’s brother) also living with them, was caught by the pdea (Philippines drug enforcement agency) and was shot due to his drug dealing transactions and they’ve confiscated some of the holdings. Keeping in mind, that the family members including the child’s mother were familiar with his drug abuse and dealership. I can’t see how an environment like such is safe for a child of her age. Also, there had been problems between both parents on financial aids and it has been witnessed by the girl’s aunt that there was a maltreatment involved. I need a professional opinion on this matter and how thos can work in the favor of the father.
(Relationship to the girl: Second aunt)
Hi Good day Atty!
Gusto ko pong matulungan pinsan ko po c John. He has two daughters ages 7&8 this year. He has lived in partner who went abroad nung maliit pa lang ang mga anak nila. Di po sila kasal kasi hindi po nila gusto ang pinsan ko.
Apelyido ni insan ang dala ng dalawang bata sa birth at kasalukuyang nag aaral sa Elem grades 2&3 po sila.
Ofw po ang ina at umuwi nitong May2017 bago bumalik ng ibang bansa nitong June ay gusto nitong makipaghiwalay kay pinsan at ayaw na nyang magpadala ng sustento. Pero gusto nyang kunin ang dalawang anak. May nabalita ring may bf ang babae sa labas.
Di pumayag si pinsan na ibigay ang mga anak. Lumaki po ito sa kanya at pinag aral ng maayos. Ginampanan ni pinsan ang pagiging ina at ama ng sabay habang sya ay nagtratrabaho.
Nagkaroon sila ng agreement sa Brgy Temp Separation kasi d pa nakukuha ng ina ang mga bata.
At dahil hindi naman interesado ang partner ni pinsan sa kanila at pinipilit na makipaghiwalay gusto ni.pinsan na maging permanent na lang ang hiwalay nila pero sa kanya pa rin ang mga anak nila.
Ngayon po kasalukuyang nasa ibang bansa na ulit ang ina ng mga bata. At ganun pa rin gaya ng dati nasa kay pinsan ang mga bata. Pero di na nagpapadala ng kahit magkano ang ina nito. Maging ang pamilya ng babae.At araw2× pong sinisiraan ng pamilya at kaibigan ng babae itong aking c John po sa school.
Kahit kailan wLa pong bisyo ang pinsan ko c John, wLa rin pong ibang babae.
Tanong ko poAtty.
Dahil hindi na maganda ang paninira ng pamilya ng babae pwede po bang kasohan namin cla ng Slander?o kaya’y ano po bang best legal action po namin pra tigilan nila c John po.?
2.Ang custody po sa mga bata malakas po ba ang laban ni pinsan dahil siya ang nagpalaki ng mga bata at may trabaho naman sya at responsable naman po at 7&8 yrs old naman po ang mga bata edad kung kailan may boses na sila sa korte na pumili kanino sa mama o papa sila sasama?
3. Kung mag asawa po ang babae sa ibang lalaki may karapatan pa po ba sya sa mga anak na ayaw sumama sa kanya?
4. Ang pamilya po ng babae na gustong kunin ang mga bata ano po ba ang dpat naming gawin?
5. Kung maliban sa paninira kung sa huli po ay physical nila harasin o kaya’y eskandalohin c John ano po ba ang legal na aksyon po.?
Yung paninira po sa kanya through facebook pwede po bang kasuhan?
Nawa po matulungan nyo po kami sa pamamagitan ng mga legal advice nyo po.May God bless po! Thanks!

Hi po ! Pa advice naman po
Isa po akong student i was 17 year old nung nabuntis po ako at yung lalaking nakabuntis po sakin ay student din po at same age lang po kami. Nung 1 month palang po akong buntis sinabi ko kaagad sa kanya pero dninied nya po na d sa kanya yung batamng dinadala ko. sinabi nya na ipalaglag ko yung bata pero d ko po pinalaglag. Ilang months po akong nagtiis kahit wala sya kahit na nasasalubong nya ko sa daan parang d nya lang ako nakikita. Tapos nung malapit na po akomh manganak nalaman nilang kambal yung dinadala ko ( boy and Girl ) simula po nung malaman nila na kambal yung magiging anak ko dun na po sila nag papakita sakin, nung nanganak po ako andun dun sila yung ama ng babies ko at parents nya . Nanganak ako ng kambal pero yung isa my deperensya( IMPERFORATE ANUS ). Dinala nila yung bata sa manila para i paopera after 6 days sumunod ako. Tumutulong naman po sila, d naman po sila pabaya pag dating sa mga bata . After pong naoperahan ang baby boy umuwi po kami ng probinsya. Di pumayag yung lola ng babies na dalhin ko yung isang bata sa bahay gusto nya hatiin namin yung kambal. Bilang ina naman po ayaw kong malayo sa dalawa kong anak kaya tiniis ko na po muna at hinayaan ko nalang po ang hilaw kong BYENAN. Umuwi ako ng bahay na dala yung isa ko lang na anak na my sakit kasi d pweding ihiwalay saken kasi kilangan nya ang gatas ko. After po ng ilang days pumunta po kami ng Odiongan kong saan malayu ito sa present home namin. Pinagpatuloy ko yung pag aaral ko kahit my anak na ako, dala ko yung baby boy ko at naiwan sa kanila yung baby girl. Pinagkatiwala ko muna sa kanila kasi sabi nill sayang naman daw kong hihinto ako ng pag aral ko. So yun nga po every hour umuuwi ako para sa baby boy ko taz balik agad ng school pag katapos syang e breast feed. Umuuwi kami sa present home namin minsan para bisitahin yung baby girl ko . Pero 1 time po pumunta ako sa bahay nila para kunin yung baby girl ko after ng ilang months na d ko sya nakikita gusto ko din syang makasama, PERO hindi ako pinayagan ng hilaw kong byenan na dalhin sa bahay yung baby ko. mag ka iba kasi kami ng barranggay at medyo malayo . The other day po hinatid nila sa bahay yung baby ko , bali 1 night lang natulog sa bahay ko yung baby giirl . kinaumagahan pumunta sila sa bahay para sunduin yung baby ko . Hindi ako pumayag kasi d pa nawala yung pag ka miss ko sa baby girl ko at gusto kong magkasama kaming tatlo. NAG away po kami ng byenan konhg hilaw patinang ama ng kambal ko. Pinilit nila kunin sakin yung baby kahit ayaw ko hanggang sa naiiyak na ko dahil gusto ko pa talaga makasama yung anak ko . pero wala akong nagawa nakuha nila sakin yung baby ko at tumakas . hinabol ko sila pero d ko na naabot kasi mabilis ang pag patakbo ng motor ng ex ko. After 2 days pumunta ako sa kanila para hiramin yung baby ko uli. HInarap ako ng papa ng ex ko na ama ng anak ko . Pinuntahan ko yung baby ko sa duyan pero maya maya kinuha to ng yaya nya at dinala sa kwarto kong saan dun yung Hilaw BYENAN nilock nila yung pinto at d ko nanaman nakuha yung anak ko at ang sabi nila nag pa gawa daw sila ng papel sa ABOGADO d ko alam kong ano yung ginawa nila , para in case daw na kunin ko yung baby may pang laban sila .
ATTORNEY, ano po ba yung tama kong gawin. Sila ba yung may mas rights kasi parents ng ex ko yung nag sussupport sa babies. Sa kanila na din ngayon yung dalawang babies ko kasi nag aaral ako, pag kaalis ko sa amin si mama yung nag babantay ng isang baby pero ngayun pina uwi nila si mama ayaw na nilang i paalaga kay mama kasi daw pabaya pero d naman totoo dami ng sinacrifice si mama para sa kambal. Yong problema po is parang ayaw ng ibigay ng HILAW kong BYENAN ang mga anak ko at parang nag aaACT sya na sya yung nanay. mas gusto nya yung nasusunod.
Paano po ba to? kong sakali po na ayaw nilang ibigay sakin yung babies pag ka GRADUATE ko ngayong march 2018 ano po yung dapat kong gawin MAY LBAN PO BA AKO? kasi po baka palbasin nila na inaBANDON ko ang kambal at inuna ang pag aaral kaysa alagaan ang babies. Nag aral po ako kahit mahirap mapalayo sa kanila para din po sa FUTURE Naming tatlo . Never po kaming nag sama ng tatay nila at wala pong balak ang tatay nila na aSAwahin ako. Ang dami nyang babae at ex ko na po sya since nalaman niyang buntis ako at ngayon pinagyayabang niya saken na sila ang may mas karapatan dahil sila ang GUMASTOS.
MAY karapatan po ba ako? Gusto ko po ipaglaban ang mga anak ko sa LOLA nila ! Help po kahit advice lang. Sorry kong mahaba yung kwento ko .
Good afternoon po Atty.

Dear Atty,
Good morning po!
I am separated (not legally) from my husband for over 10 yrs already. I am an OFW in the UAE and he is with his mother taking care of their family business in the province. We separated in 2007 when our only son was 2 yrs. old. Since then, the kid had been with me and my parents until I decided to work abroad in 2013. For two years I was abroad, my husband was just borrowing my son from my parents because he also tried twice to work abroad but failed until 2015, when he decided to get my son and bring to their province. At first I was hysterical and I didnt want the kid to be with him. But later on I realized, he has full authority on the kid since I am away. I also thought it would be better that the child is with because my parents are getting old and might not have enough energy to take care of my kid.
For two years, I just call and I get him from the province to spend time with me during my annual vacations. But this year, my employer already advised me that I cant have vacation this coming December because of our ongoing projects in the company. I proposed to my husband if I can get the kid and bring in the UAE for vacation. He refused. He is paranoid that I might not send our kid back to the Philippines. I didnt argue anymore.
But I want to know if I have any right to take the kid with me even for a vacation only. Any document that I need? My husband told me that he is holding a document that I cant take and bring my kid abroad without his consent.
I heard from a friend’s story that when her husband (they are married and still together) was having a vacation in the Philippines and took their kid to go to UAE for a vacation, the immigration asked for the mother’s consent letter. And was further told that if he had been the mother, they would not be asking for any consent anymore.
Can I get any document that I can show to my husband and eventually at the airport saying I am allowed to take my kid with me on a vacation?
Please help!
Sincerely,
Len

Atty. pls hear me out. Mayron po akong kinakaharap na problema at medyo matagal na..ang gusto ko pong malaman kung paano ko maibabalik sa kanya ang ginagawa niya pagpapahiya sakin. Ganito po ang sitwasyon ko ngayon. Mayron po akong kinakasama dati at nagkaroon kami ng isang anak..at hindi po kami ikinasal. Din nagkahiwalay din po kami dahil dumating sa punto na nagkalabuan kami. Tapos ngayon po ay pareho na kami nagkaroon ng sariling pamilya at kasal siya sa ibang lalaki at kasal na rin po ako ngayon. Wala narin po akong kuminkasyon sa kanya. Pero nakikita ko rin siya at anak ko palagi pag nasa amin ako. Ang hindi kolang maintindihan kung bakit kada pag uwi ko. Parating may complain sa munisipyo. Ang gusto niya dagdagan ko raw ang binibigay ko sa kanya. Pesos 2,000 po ang ibinibigay ko sa kanya once nasa barko po ako..katunayan po niyan si misis mismo naghuhulog sa account nong babae para lang ma bigyan talaga siya kada buwan kapag nasa barko ako. Pero pilit parin po niyang ginagawang rason ang bata para makakuha ng pera sakin. At ang gusto kolang i point out. Kung hindi niya po kayang palakihin ang bata. Eh, kukunin ko nalang po.

Hello, I need your advice. We are 3 siblings in the family. My older sibling was given to my mother’s sister as for a legal adoption way back in the 80s. My older sibling then becomes their daughter legally after she was taken from our family, when she was 12 yrs. old. Our house and lot was given or made constructed/build paid by her my auntie’s husband, but unfortunately, the land title was kept from us as days gone by, because my uncle didn’t want our parents to sell it in the near future, for related reasons. Time passes by, and my adopted sibling got married, divorced, got into relationships, and currently now with a man who does not happen to be her husband yet, but she they have a 3 old daughter now, living in the U.S.
In 2014, my younger brother got married, and they willfully chose to not to leave the house, no matter how my father kept on telling him and them to do so, instead of my parents, along with me would the leave the house for renting, because that is not actually good to everyone’s sight neither agreeing to Philippine law. Reasons for that is because my younger brother is a very self-willed person. He would even shout at us anytime he wanted to do so, He has a high temperament and uncontrolled emotions and mentality. He even never recognizes parents’ authorities over him. Examples of this are; he ignored the rule that he needs be home not too late nor not coming home overnight without asking neither telling any of our parents. Never asking permission whether he is allowed to go or not to someplace. Another thing is, he would tell any of his parents that he would be late for home, never tell parents that he is going. It may be a little thing, maybe nothing for somebody, but for me, it is a thing of Respect. And he would even shout and answered to my parents like, ” do you think I do know what I am doing at my age?” Or even bang the door or stamp her hands on the dining table, and such as banging plates in the kitchen sink, and the likes. Mind you, he even cursed me a lot of times… ( I have thought that he has a mental illness, and needs to be brought to the Psychiatrist, ar any doctor, maybe counselor who can actually help him shout out his heart and mind.
When he got married, it was time for me leave the house for abroad. And these things and likes are what I was hearing happening in our house. And in my months not being in the house, I have been hearing that the couples have been fighting every now and then, shouting, throwing things that make noise that bother my parents, made them feel disrespected, tensed and problematic because my brother never listened to them.
Time has passed, and nobody knows the reason why my two siblings wanted me to be kicked out from the house. We just all walked up never being in a nice relationship.
They kept on bothering Mom and Dad, until now since my father died a year and a month ago. They still are doing things to make me not to be comfortable in our parent’s house.
My question is, how much is my chance to fight for my right if my mom would not leave us a will in the future. Or even now that she is still with us. For every relative and neighbor we have, knew, even Mom acknowledges that my presence is very useful in our house, for I do the house cleaning, clothes washing of me and my Mom, (Mom does the cooking, w/c she just loves doing ever since). I do sometimes with my own and innovative recipe). People around, knew that Mom cannot do these things by herself for my sister-law never tried to do what I have been doing in our house, they even say that she is lazy-just concerned about her own room, that even her child’s mess and diapers would not be taken care of, it’s either me and mom do it even she is home.
Yes, I have my 1 year and less 2 day-month-old niece. And who takes care and watches over her? Mom and I. And they wanted to kick me out of the house. Everybody say, “don’t they acknowledge Jen’s (my) presence in helping their Mom for their kid?” “How can their Mom do the stuff if Jen is out?” Do not they like that Jen is taking care of their Mom?”
Please advise what to do. Yes, I don’t actually help in the house financially because I chose to leave every lux in my life when Mom has undergone cervical cancer. I chose to take care of my parents instead back in the 90s, then earning money for myself. That was the start of them hating me because I do not share financially maybe, ( but I guess, there is more than that, they might feel that my Dad favors me than them both, I always ran to him for advice) but I gave all my self, my physical strength for them. I do every single thing in the house while they are earning for Moms medication. I even bring Mom alone to the clinic for her treatment every day and sleep with her in the hospital during all her chemo treatments, go home to look good and do household chores, get back to the hospital with cooked food, which neither of my siblings did.
Until the day my Father died, I was alone in the Hospital with my high fever and cough taking care of Dad, No one among my siblings did the thing like what I had done.
Atty. Please advise me, do I have to right to be kicked out from the house?
How much chance do I have by owning/inheriting my mother’s house if she does not leave us any will? – in the future)
How much possibility that they can stay in the house if they just keep on looking for and making ways to make me angry and suffer discomfortness – wanting me to leave Mom and leave her to them.
Does my sister who was happened to be adopted – legally changed her named 2x times still has rights for the house/owning the house. As I understood, she asked a lawyer to set things regarding our lost land title. Is it lawful if she or both of my siblings agree to pay for a lawyer to make a land title and named it to one of them, – to my brother most probably without my parent’s concern?
My brother told me one time that he would file a petition for if I touch or get nigh to her kid. Yet me and Mon are being left in the house with the baby the whole day until past 9 pm. Can Mom survive?
Yes, they do not want to hire a maid or a nanny for their kid, and not even giving Mom extra for that. Their financial shares are actually too short just even for both of their necessities such as food, electricity and water bill, the house actually, compared if they will rent one. If rights will be the issue here, whose right is more winning?
thank you so much for patience reading this letter.
Atty. I didn’t intend to make this one too long. But I also want to give you more specific details. thank so much and I’m hoping, really hoping that I can receive an e-mail back regarding this from you.
Thank you so much.
Yours,
Jennylyn Aquino

Hello Atty.,
I am an 18 year-old illegitimate child. My mother has me from wednesday night to sunday noon. My father has me from sunday afternoon to wednesday night. I have always felt as if my mother did not care for my emotional being. It feels like a toxic relationship where she makes an issue over one matter and blows it out of proportion. But I feel that my father is the parent that I need so I can focus on better things. He has not failed to give me advice about career options and is always there for me, unlike my mother who i do not really communicate with. He has a nice home environment I feel I can grow as a person. It was sad that before I could only see him once a week.
What do I do if I want to if I want to choose which parent to live with? In my case, I want to live with my father permanently, and not live with my mother anymore. What are the steps? Or can I just leave my mother’s house and never come back? However, she has all my documents such as birth certificate and passport.
Please I do not want to have depression.

Atty: my question ako.
I was an OFW when my son is below 7 yrs. old he was with the care of he’s father. But now he’s 11 and he’s dad is also away from him due to work. My son is with the care of my husbands mother and sister.

Hello, Here ismy case. I got married last 2008 when I was already 2 months pregnant. My marriage with my husband didn’t worked, so we separated last 2011. Our son is already 8 years old now and is under the custody of my husband. My husband took away my son from me because when we were separated, I had a relationship with another man and got me pregnant. Our annulment case is still on-going right now. I just want to ask if it happens that our annulment will be granted, can I get back the custody of my son? Thank you..
Ask lang po, how to obatin a judicial declaration of custody. Requirements lang po ng partner ko para makuha mga anak nya dito sa Canada since inabandona nman sila ng nanay nila wayback 2004.
Atty. Can i ask something?
Ganto po kase iniwan ng nanay ang mga anak ko saken 3months ago na ngayon gusto nya kunin yung 2&10months old ko na anak may laban po ba ako sakaling idala namen sa korte? Btw. Sya po ang gumawa at sumama sa ibang lalake at ako naman yung mga bata lang na iniwan ang inaalagaan ko actually yung bunso 3months palang nung iniwan nya. Sana po natulungan nyo ako.
My mom got annulled last 2 years and my NSO’s legitimate father stated is the 1st husband of my mom but I am not biological child of her 1st husband. My mom told me the reason why she used the 1st husband’s surname due to the hospital’s not discharging them because of all the expenses so my Mom decided to used her 1st husband’s info for the sake of making sure they’ll pay all the expenses from her 1st husband’s benefits to cover all his maternity charges. So basically my mom wasn’t also expecting that the hospital will pass all the info for the NSO registration. So i was declared legitimate child of her 1st husband without knowing the right thing to do. So my Biological dad and my mom decided to have me a late registration to recognize the paternity of my biological dad. They were advised to have civil wedding just to have a recognition that he’s the biological dad, so when my mom filed a case for legitimization , the court didn’t grant the case due to void and null civil wedding because they were not annulled yet during the civil wedding happened. My mom already did a lot of strategies just to make sure i’ll be recognized as legitimate child of my biological dad. What steps should we do to make sure i have already a legitimate identity because i am using my biological dad’s surname the entire transactions i had from preschool til college though my surname on my NSO is my mom’s first husband. Thank you so much IF you can address this concern. May God Bless you. Have a good day!

Hello…. I don’t know if you could help my niece with this matter….
She just started working abroad and she is a single parent of a 2 year old boy…. she had to leave her son behind so she could give him a good future in the care of the baby’s grandmother and grandfather (which happens to be my brother and sister in law).
Now the grandparents of the baby wants to travel to palawan and Boracay once 2018 rolls in, and they wanted to bring the baby with them… but they were told they cannot bring the baby because they are not the legal parents…
What kind of legal paperwork can my niece get from where she’s at (she is in Dubai if I’m not mistaken)?
And should it be a paperwork that came from the Philippine Embassy? Or just a regular letter made by a lawyer (in Dubai) and signed and sealed?
What kind of paperwork do they usually look for in the Philippines to have the grandparents of the baby as the temporary caretaker (who’s mom is working outside the Philippines)?
Please advise me on what they should do….. thank you and I will wait for your response.

Hello atty. Gusto ko lg po ng advice tungkol po doon sa anak nang pinsan ko. Yung pinsan ko kasi at yung nanay nang bata gusto nilang kunin. Nsa pinsan kasi nang nanay yung baby. Ganito po kasi yun nong nanganak sya kinuha nila agad yung baby. Sabi nang pinsan ko kunin nya yung bata. Ayaw nang ibigay sa kanila kasi inadopt nila legal. Eh sabi namin hindi nman sila ngpunta sa DSWD pra legal. Wala nmn silang adoption papers. Posible po ba na sa kanila mapunta ang bata? Kasi sila nmn yung bioligical parents.
Dear Atty,
I am humbly asking your advice for a friend in Philippines. Her sister was given a child by a friend and fellow addict right after birth. The sister would leaves the child with my friend and only takes it to show it off and run around. As soon as there’s no diaper or milk she returns the child to my friend. The baby now just a little over a year looses weight and is put in harm’s way whenever the sister asks to borrow the child. My friend has contacted the biological mother who is now in prison for drugs and the unwed biological father. They agreed that the baby should stay with my friend. With this said, they are all afraid that the sister might contact bantay Bata or something and the child will be taken by dswd and wouldn’t be able to get back for 2years… What is the best action that they should take to ensure the child stays with my friend and remains well cared for and above all loved?
I hope you can give me an advice and help me clear my mind..
I have a husband but left me on the year 2015, we have 2 daughter the eldest is just 3 years old that time and our youngest was 1 year old. Now this year 2017 his family start visiting and see our children at first I allow them to see my daughters but on there 3rd day of visiting my daughters they said that they want to take my daughters to attend a pool party but the location was far away from where I live with my daughters.
When they said those words I was so affraid that what if they do take my daughters and I refuse them,
On the 4th day they visited my children I told them to stop coming because I was affraid that they will said again that they want my daughters to go with them so that’s why I told them to stop.
The grandmother and all his sisters and even the husband of his sister accouse me of hiding my children from them and they were so angry that I was not allowing them to see my daughters.
More than 2 years that my husband left us he never comes back tell now nor giving support to my children.
He left me once when our eldest daughter where only 3 months old but I give him second chance that time but left us again when our youngest daughter where just 1 years old.
He never once try to see our daughters.
He abandoned me and my daughters he took all our savings and left me zero balance that time.
His family said they well file a case against me for hiding my children from them but they just start visiting my children this year 2017 after my husband left us in year 2015.
I didn’t hide my daughters, they know where I was living and yet they just start visiting my daughters just now and accousing me that I was the one who done the wrong thing.
Please give me some advice it really give me a hard time rightnow.
I don’t want to lose any of my children, they said that even I hide my daughters when my eldest daughter rich 7 years old they will going to teke her away from me.
They also said that I don’t have the right to say no to them when they are visiting my daughters.
What am I going to do for not losing any of my daughters or filling a case against me.
Hello Atty,
I would like to know if we have a chance of taking the legal custody of my sister’s daughter who died when the baby is still 10 months old. The daughter is under his name on the birth certificate. The grand mother already took charge of taking care of the baby and was given a chance to bring the baby abroad and study up to now. She is currently 9 years old and her father is threatening us to take legal action to take her daughter back. The daughter is based here abroad living with us together with the grandparents. I am considering as her mom together with my other 3 children. The father is a musician with another illigetimate child from a different mother.
Looking forward to your advice to pursue the case in the future.

Hi atty. I am a single mom of 2. I am currently living in with the father of my 2nd child for 7yrs now. We’ve been dating for 2 yrs when we we have our baby. I have an eldest child with a different man. Our child is now 13yrs old. My child told me that her dad and lola are planning to file a joint custody battle. What are my chances and his chances of getting the custody of our child? We were never married. He is now married how several years but they don’t have a child. When my daughter was only 4 she once told me that her dad cane home drunk with his friends. They slept in their room. My child and her father is sharing the same room at their house. My daughter once said ang panghi ng room nila umihi raw sa bed ang kasama si daddy. At an early age my daughter is fully aware that his father drinks a lot and often. Until now that he has his own house with his wife. The same things are happening. But he came from a rich family that can fully support my child’s needs. Just few days after i gave birth they already wanted to get the child from me. I was never madamot because i know that they are providing everything that my chikd needs. I remember her lola ask me after giving birth. San ba uuwi ang bata sa amin ba or sa iyo? They even convinced me of how am i suppose to take care of my child i was studying then i was only 19. So we agreed that the child stays with them during week days and i get to see my new born every weekend only. Until i got a job and can support my child so i took her and they get to see her weekends. In my part, i don’t have a job right now but im currently working on with some trainings ang reviews to be a teacher. My partner was married when we meet. He and his ex wife were already separated but not legally when we meet at 2009. My daughter was 4yrs old then. They file for an annulment last 2012 was not granted and appealed last 2015. The annulment was granted dec 2017. Now we are planning to get married on 2019. Atty, again, what are his chances . Thank you

Good day po,
My name is Laurie and I currently live overseas with my husband.
My main concern is about a case regarding my brother, his wife(my sister-in-law) and their three children aged 7,6 and 4 respectively.
My sister-in-law is in Hong Kong now and just recently, she admitted to being infidel to my brother. She also told us that she’s never coming back for us, for her family but she only wants her children. My brother wants to take actions regarding getting the full custody of their three children. And hopefully for me to foster one of their kids and bring him/her to US with us. All the kids live with my brother and our parents in our parents house in Imus, Cavite. My sister-in-law used to live there as well before she went to Hong Kong. My brother is jobless now because one of them needed to be with the children while the other is away..unfortunately, my brother has been left out jobless and cheated..he’s trying to get a new job now knowing that she’s not coming back. We want to know the courses of action that we can take to start the process of getting the full custody of the children.

Advice pls!
My fiance and I use to live in the Philippines but we left to the US be with my family because we have a daughter together and one on the way. However, he has a son back in the Philippines who lives with his mom and her family who are also all US citizens residing in the Philippines. My fiance’s son is about to be 7 y/o and we want to try to get some custody or legal rights because my fiance’s son’s mother is keeping him from us. No contact since October 2016.
What is my fiance able to do?
Good pm Atty. Problema po ng ate ko kung paano niya kukunin yung anak niya. Ganito po ang nangyare…
Nabuntis po yung ate ko at iniwan ng bf niya. Dahil gulong-gulo siya, iniwan niya yung pamangkin ko sa tatay namin. Umalis yung ate ko at di na bumalik. Mag-isa lang po ng father ko sa bahay namin dahil hiwalay na sila ni nanay at ako naman ay nag-aaral(working student) noon.
Nung 4 or 5 yrs old na po yung niece ko, pumanaw po si tatay. Bago pumanaw si tatay, ibinilin daw niya yung niece ko sa pinsan ko na may ka-live-in at wala pang anak.
Nagalit ako noon sa ate ko dahil hindi man lang siya pumunta nung burol ni tatay. Kinokontak namin siya pero hindi namin siya nakontak.
After 1 or 2 yrs, bumalik ang ate ko para kunin yung pamangkin ko pero ayaw nung pinsan ko lalo na nung ka-live-in niya. Nagalit ang ate ko dahil nalaman niya na sinasaktan yung niece ko kaya nagpumilit siyang kunin yung bata pero pinagbawalan siya nung babae(ka-live-in ng pinsan ko) at sinaktan pa yung ate ko. Dahil mag-isa noon ng ate ko, hindi niya nakuha yung niece ko.
Ngayon, mga 8yrs old na yung niece ko at bumalik ulit yung ate ko kasama ang kanyang asawa para kunin ang bata pero hindi nila nadatnan ang bata at yung babae. Ayon sa pinsan ko, inuwi daw ng babae ang niece ko sa Zamboanga dahil nag-away sila. Kinontak ng ate ko yung babae. Sinagot niya yung unang tawag pero hindi na yung mga sumunod.
Ano po ang dapat gawin ng ate ko? Sa kanya pa rin po ba dapat ang kustodiya ng niece ko? Hindi po ba siya makakasuhan ng abandonment?
Good Day Atty.:
May itatanong po sana ako Atty., yung ate ko po kasi gusto nang kunin yung custody ng anak nya na 16 years old. May right na po ba yung bata na pumili kung saan mapupunta ang custody nya?
Ang sitwasyon po kasi bago maghiwalay yung ate ko at asawa nya, nag karoon sya ng affair sa iba, ganon din po yung asawa nya nag karoon din ng affair sa iba. May nabasa po kasi ako na kapag “CONVICTED ADULTERY”, mawawala na yung karapatan ng magulang sa bata, but then di naman po di naman po sila nag kasuhan, so walang conviction.
Maraming salamat po,
God Bless.
Good am. I have a situation here. I have a daughter who was born July 18, 2010 when I was 17. My mother, being the protective kind, didn’t want my cousins and aunts to know, hid it from them until she was 3 years old. Back then, she wouldn’t let me learn how to take care of my child. She would be the one to bathe, choose the baby clothes, etc. The baby even calls her mommy and I, she would just mention my name. I tried to teach my daughter that she calls me her mom, but she grew up really confused. As a teen mom, ofc I didnt knew what to do but I was expecting some kind of parental lessons from her. But she would always be in charge of everything, even the name of the baby, the baptismal, etc. She wouldn’t let me have a say. It seems like my only job was to provide breastmilk, which she also took control over. She stopped me from breastfeeding for about 2 months when I really wanted to breastmilk until a year. When my baby was 4 years old, I left home, because my mom is a very toxic person—I couldn’t handle how she treats me, and a lot of other factors. It was only after 2 years when I started to visit my daughter, my sister would let me see her. My daughter and I would really have a good time. 3 months ago, I moved back home. And I realized how badly she would treat my daughter when she becomes angry or irritated. She would do the usual ofc, preparing her breakfast, dropping her off to school. I also try to split the chores cause I really want my daughter to see me as her mother. So sometimes, we would have dates like go on swimming, shopping etc. So far, she also calls me mom now. But sometimes she would still forget. I’m also 3 months pregnant as of this writing. My question is, will I have custody of my child? I really try to bond with her as much as possible but my mom would always get in the way. I try to feed my daughter healthy food, but she would always prepare processed food (ie instant noodles, hotdogs, bacon) cos she grew up like that. Until now, she doesn’t know how to eat on her own, would always eat half a cup of rice every meal—sometimes just chips for dinner because that’s what she grew up to like and because my mom would let her eat whatever she wants. Is there a possibility that I can leave home again and take her with me? My daughter is really into the idea since she will have a sibling. Please help.

Dear Attorney,
i woul dlike to have your advice on my situation, i am foreigner residing in UAE and i am married to a filipina and she was single mother before i get married to her.
i have applied for my wife visa to be resident here in UAE, but i can not sponsor my step daughter as UAE govt requires documents as below details
“The father or the child or the guardian must state in the letter that he does not have any objection to the son or daughter shifting to the UAE and being sponsored by their stepfather.
If the father of the child is dead and the mother remarried, the grandparents or relatives of the child must give the no-objection letter in accordance with the law in their own country.
All documents must be official, legal and approved from the concerned authorities.”
but in my case in my ste daughter birthcertficate the father name is not stated just only mothers name.
therefore they have requested me to have no objection form the philippines govt.
accordingly please do advice from where i can get this documents.
please need your help urgently.
my step daughter is alone and no one is there to take care of here thats why i want to bring her here in UAE so i can take care of her and her mother is beside her.
please please please help and advice me.
tnx
hello atty,
So my unmarried brother has supported his 1-year-old son since the child was not born, giving her regular food, shelter and whatever needs to his son’s mother(his girlfriend) vitamins and everything. But he and his girlfriend broke up all out of a sudden, his girlfriend took his son away from him knowing she is unemployed/jobless leaving in a below average lifestyle. We live in the Philippines and my brother is a hard working seafarer that earns good and could sustain the best for his son. what can we possibly do for the child’s better future? is my brother has the right to take and support the child for his future?

I need some advise regarding my daughters custody. Naghiwalay po kami ng nanay nya 1 year ago. Kasal po kami. Dahil sa sobrang mahal ng annulment po sa pinas. Kaya hindi pa po maumpisahan ang pag file. Tanong ko lang po sana. dahil ako po ay isang OFW pinagbawalan po akong makausap ang aking anak kahit sa telepono. naglagay pa po ng once a month rule ang kanyang nanay at hindi po nya papakausap sakin kahit once a month kapag hindi daw po ako nakapag padala ng sustento. Inaamin ko po ako ang may kasalanan kung bakit kami naghiwalay. Pero humantong na nga po kami sa hiwalayan at ngayon po gusto ko malaman ang mga paraan para makasama ko ang anak ko at hindi mailipat sa kanya ang paghihirap at bigat ng nararamdaman. 5 taong gulang pa lamang po ang aking anak. Alam ko po ang pananakot na ginagawa ng nanay nya sakin kagaya ng kapag hindi ko pinadalhan ang bata idedemanda nya ako bilang legal nyang asawa. Ano po ba ang magandang advise na maibibigay nyo po sa akin. Salamat po in advance.

Good day,
Atty. Hihingi po sana ako ng advice both mother and father po nasa manila nagtratrabaho, both din po sumusuporta sa bata.. yung bata nasa lola mother side po, kaso ang problema yung bata hindi maalagaan ng maayos kasi po mag isa lang yung matanda PWD din po, hindi na makarinig kaya kahit umiyak magdamag ang bata hindi napapansin pumapayat na po yung anak ko. Yung tinitirhan din po hindi naman sa panglalait e kubo lang po which is as a father I think na mas makakabuti kung dun sila sa amin titira kaso ayaw po nila. May problema ang bata may asthma inuubo at sinisipon ngayon nagwowory po ako kasi malamig po ang kubo . Gusto ko po sana kunin ang bata para maalagaan ng maayos at mabigyan ng maayos na tirahan is it posible po ba na makuha ko ang custody kasi hindi naman mother nya ang nag aalaga ee. Sana po maliwanagan nyo ako sa problema ko.

Hello Atty,
My marriage was annulled ,as i found out I was a second wife, and that my husband was already married.However we have one child who is now 12 years old, and lives with my ex’s sister as my ex has 3 more children from another girl who he has since married.I also remarried a foreigner and we live between Philippines and Europe’s it possible for the court to award my son to me to live as he is not living with his father?
The child is saying ,he wants to stay with the father, but I strongly believe this is to stop me filing a case for custody in the Court.
Atty kung 7 years old n b may karapatan n b mamili ang bata.o sa nanay p rin po ba

Hi Atty.,
I am 32 years old already, I was adopted when I was about a days old due to my biological parents condition, my biological parents gave me to my supposedly Auntie (her sister). My adoptive parents gave me everything I need from love, care, education and even material things although we are not that fortunate. They become more than a parents to me, my brothers never treat me I’m not their sister, after so many years, now that I am making good fortune and now settled in US, my biological mother wants me back and do all the harassment she can do to us, even treat us that she will put my adoptive mom to jail for falsification of public documents, which I think my birth certificate which I am registered legitimately. My mom ask them if I have birth certificate since I need to go to school to study, but they cannot provide so they get one for me and make it a late registration. What we can do to stop this harassment and move on with our lives.
Good afternoon po attorney. Bago palang po kami nagpakasal ng asawa ko,alam ko na po na may anak siya sa kanyang teenage age. 2014 Po kami nagkakilala at 2017 po kami nagpapakasal. 2007,nabuntis niya ang kanyang classmate, nagsama sila ng 3 years,hindi sila pwedeng ikasal nuon sapagkat minor age pa po silang dalawa. 2010, nalaman at nakita ng asawa ko na may iba na ang ina ng kanyang anak. Nagdesisyon siya na hihiwalayan na niya at ang bata ay nasa kanya,3 years old pa po ang bata noon, ang pamilya po ng asawa ko ang sumusuporta sa bata. Ang kanyang kinakasama po ay pumunta nang manila,nag asawa at may anak na rin. 2010, po nagdesisyon po ang asawa ko na pumasok sa philippine army dahil hindi po siya nakapag tapos ng pag-aaral at yun lang ang opportunity para matustusan nya ang mga pangangailangan ng kanyang anak. Simula non, hinihiram naman ng lola at lolo (mother’s side) ang bata, pinapahiram naman po nila pero ni kahit piso po,wala sila binibigay na suporta sa pag-aaral sa bata. Ngayon po, 11 years old na ang bata,ayaw na niya pumunta sa mother’s side niya kasi nga daw po, sugarol ang lola niya at minsan maiiwan pa siyang mag-isa dun sa kanila.Kahit anong pilit namin na papuntahin ang bata doon,ayaw na niya talaga at maiiyak pa.Minsa pa nga daw maisip niya na lumayas doon at gusto umuwi sa bahay ng biyenan ko dahil hindi daw siya maaalagaan doon . Pinapaaral po namin sa Sevent Day Adventist school po ang bata, isang private school na masasabi po namin na mataas ang tuition fee,pinapadalhan ng pera,aside po non, binilhan namin ng 2 pampasaherong motor para pang dagdag sa kanyang pang araw-araw, masasabi po talaga namin na well provided po ang bata. Nasa mga magulang po ng asawa ko o biyenan ko po nakatira ang bata.Hindi po sa aming mag-asawa nakatira ang bata since, malayo po na assign ang asawa ko,at ako naman ay nag boarding house lamang dahil malayo din sa homeplace ako nag tatrabaho(HOspital po). Pero kung passes or RandR naman ng asawa ko, uuwi kami dun sa kanila.Sa kasalukuyan po, buntis ako sa first baby ko po. Ngayon, gusto ng lolo’t lola ng bata na ipa DPM asawa ko sa kadahilanang ayaw raw ipahiram ng biyenan ko sa kanila ang bata, . sa totoo nga po, pinipilit na talaga namin ang bata na pumunta doon sa kanila,kaso ayaw niya. Ang tanong ko po, may pananagutan ba ang asawa ko kung sakaling ipa DPM nila? wala po kasing bad record asawa ko sa unit nila, mabait po at masipag siya.Ayaw po namin na masisira at madudumihan ang record niya dahil lang sa kanilang reklamo.MARAMING SALAMAT PO.

Good evening po Atty!
Yung ate ko unmarried at may anak pero namatay ang ako after 2 days sa pagka panganak. Hindi nakapirma ang ate ko sa birth certificate ng bata. Noong dumating dito sa Pinas ang ama galing Italy inaknowledge nya yung bata na anak nya. Ngayon may 5 months na pong hindi nagpapadala ng sustento para sa bata. Kung kayat ako na ang tuma tayong ina ng bata sapagkat ako na nagsusustento. Ang ama ng bata ay alcoholic at chain-smoker.
Ang tanung ko po ay…
May habol po ba kami para sa custody ng bata since hindi naman nagagampanan ng ama ng bata ang kanyang responsibilidad?
Anu ano po ba ang dapat naming gawin?
Maraming salamat po?

Na acknowledge po ng ama ang bata na anak nya sya ang nakapirma sa birth certificate ng bata pero si ate hindi nakapirma dahil di agad na asikaso ng hospital yung birtcertificate ng bata noong nabubuhay pa si ate.
Ibinilin ni ate sa amin na ang bata ay huwag naming pababayaan dahil babalik uli pa si ate sa ibang bansa ngunit binawian naman ito ng buhay sa hospital.
Nagpunta ang ama ng bata dito sa Pinas noong nakaburol na si ate.
Nagpapadala naman ng sustento para sa bata noong una ngunit di katagalan pahirapan pa kung magpadala at hindi pa sapat sa pangangailangan ng bata. Sa tuwing sa sabihin ng kapatid ko na gatas ng bata at bakuna ay sasabihin lamang nyang next week hindi na ubos ang next week. Nasa 1 and 3 months na ngayon ang bata. At 7 monthsary ng hindi nagpapadala. Ngayon ay gusto na nyang kunin ang bata sa amin at inuutos nyang pagawan na namin ng passport para makuha na nya ito. Ipinadala na dito sa Pinas ang bago nyang girlfriend ni filipina na kukunin nga daw ng ama ang bata. Nagkaroon ng videoing na kinakausap ng ama ang bata at naninigirilyo pa ito. Gusto nila makuha ang bata dahil mayaman daw ang pamilya ng ama ng bata at maibibigay nya sa bata ang lahat ng pangangailangan nito. Maibibigay din namin ang pangangailangan ng bata hindi lang namin sila kasing yaman ngunit sa pagmamahal bilang kanyang kadugo kami ng Nanay ko mga kapatid nag aalaga sa bata at ako at ng aking asawa ang sumosuporta sa bata kahit hindi pa ito inaabandona nya ang bata.
Napaka sakit sa part namin na kukunin nalang nya ang bata sa amin na ibinuwis ng ate ko ang kanyang buhay para sa bata na hindi naman ito naghirap. Kung kukunin nya bata parang kaming namatayan ng dalawang beses.
Yung ama ay isang alcoholic, smoker, party goer at womanizer ito ay ayun din sa gf nya ngayon.
Atty. may habol po ba kami sa custody ng pamangkin namin? Anu po ang dapat naming gawin? Maraming salamat po!

Hi Attorney,
Me and my ex are about to separate and we have a 10 year old son. My son wants to go with me but the mom said “she’ll file legal actions against me” if I take my son with me. I’m confident that I am fit to be a parent to my son. Do I have to be the one to prove that I am fit or is she the one to prove that I am not?

Hihingi sana ako ng advise regarding po sa application for Sole Custody Certificate ng anak ko. I was married for 5 years and got separated from my husband without a child and after two years without communication from my husband, i had been into a serious relationship and was blessed with a daughter. Mayroon napo kaming plan ng current partner ko at that time na i process yung annulment ko with my husband.However, 4 months po before sa schedule ng pangagnganak ko I found out na may ibang girl friend yung current partner ko and I decided na tapusin yung relationship ko sa kanya. Subsequently, hindi ko dn pina specify yung father’s name sa Birth Certificate ng anak ko.
OFW po ako and Im currently residing in Dubai, Im planning to get my daughter on mother’s visa po and one of the requirement is to acquire the Sole Custody Certificate from DSWD, since andito po ako, I need your advise kung pano ko po i pa process yung certificate from here.

Hello
Tanong ko lang po kung saan po ba pede mapunta ang mga pamangkin ko? Nasa abroad po both parents nya, hiwalay na po sila kasi nag ka 3rd party ung babae, kapatid ko po ung lalaki. Ngaun po humihingi ng sustento ung girl pero nasa abroad po sya, nasa pangangalaga po ng nanay nya ang mga pamangkin ko. Nasa pangangalaga po dati ng magulang ko ung mga bata nuon,malilinis, malulusog at nag aaral, pero nung umuwi at nag bakasyon ung nanay nila,sinabi po na hihiramin lang ng ilang lingo para makasama,pinag paalam po sa skul nila. Pero nung araw na po na sabi na ibabalik pamangkin ko hndi na po nya binalik. Bumalik na po sa ibang bansa ung girl, iniwan nya po ang mga pamangkin ko sa nanay nya en sa kapatid nya na abnormal, ngaun po napakadungis at pumayat na mga pamangkin ko, hndi po maxado naalagaan ng lola nila, kasi may mga apo padin sya sa isang anak nya na inaalagan dahil hiwalay din ito sa asawa. Gusto po sana hiramin ng mader ko ung apo nya dun at papakainin lang sana,sabik na nag paalam mga bata sa lola nila, kaso hndi na po bumalik mga pamangkin ko, umiiyak na po sila sa haus nila at hndi daw po sila pinayagan ng nany nila.
Tanong ko lang po pwede po ba mag file ang parents ko para sa costudy ng mga apo nya…

Hi Atty,
I have problem with my brother in law the husband of my sister just passed away 5 months ago. Since my sister died his behavior was changed alot. My sister 3 siblings lived with him but the reason I am here to your blog is because my brother in law won’t let us see the kids. And even if he always passing by my parents house , he never think to stopped by just to say HI. So we dont know what is going on.
Can we get my sister siblings and stay with us even the father still alive? I don’t know how to process step by step. Also they married twices at the civil and church.. or just ignore him and just wait if he brings the kids at my parents house.
Please give us an advice??
Thank you
Van,
Hi Van, no legal advice is dispensed in this forum. By way of general information, however, I think the article is clear on the general rule and the possible exceptions. Whether there are enough facts to justify the removal of custody is a matter that should be discussed with your lawyer. In our experience, we usually suggest a dialogue among the parties concerned because any legal move is sometimes counter-productive, and should be taken only as a last resort. It’s all about the best interest of the children.
I am considering starting a relationship with a Filipina who has a 2-year-old child. I would be fine with supporting a child, but would not want to legally adopt, because I would not want to be “on the hook” for many years of child support for a child that isn’t even mine, if she decided to divorce me later. I’ve been searching for info but can’t seem to find any for this specifically. Should I say, in so many words, “Sorry, I can’t even start this, because of the risk to me financially.” Or are my fears unfounded? Thanks for your help.
Good day ! Atty. Do we have a right to claim a custody to my Sister’s daughter’s custody even if she is 10 months? Because this case for my sister is her ex-husband wanted to claim the child Kahit po 10 months palang ang niece ko may karapatan po bang Kunin ng ex-husband ng sister ko ang Anak niya? Kasi po gagawa po ng kalokohan ang ex-husband ng sister ko para lang po makuha niya ang bata.. Ano po ba ang dapat gawin ng kapatid ko. I am waiting for your advice. Thank you.

Hello,
My ex and I agreed to separate. It has been more than a year since January 2018 that we have mutually agreed to separate. My ex has filed for annulment via Public Attorney’s Office. However, the annulment case has not gone to court due to financial constraints. Only an initial consultation between me and my ex was brought on by the Makati PAO.
We both still live in the same residence. The residence is a 3-storey condo type home. My ex and daughter lives on the 3rd floor. I have moved out of the 3rd floor unit as early as March 2018 and moved to the 2nd floor unit.
I found out that my wife WILL BE secretly moving out my daughter. Moreover, I found out from my daughter (and have recorded the conversation) that they will live with this man and this man’s daughter. My wife has seem to be integrating or immersing my daughter to this man’s life since December 2018. There were a number of times that they have went out. My wife does not disclose and lied as to who will be my daughter in contact with and that this man will be in the presence of my daughter.
What recourse do I have to prevent them from moving given that my ex is being secretive about it? Will Art 211 of the Family Code work on this scenario?
My partner left me a few days after ko umalis ng pinas. We have a daughter now 5 months. A few days after leaving me, may boyfriend na siya. Aftee around a month, i came home sa inuupahan naming bahay to surprise her pero ako yung nasurprise na nasa kwarto siya kasama yung lalake with my daughter. Naka lock pa pinto at patay ilaw. Ngayon nandun na sila sa parents niya. Ayaw ng parents niya na magkaron siya ng bagong relationship dahil hindi naaalagaan ng maayos yung anak namin. Sila pa mismo nagmemessage sakin na hindi nga nagagampanan ng maayos yung pagiging nanay niya at anak dahil nga dun sa lalake. May karapatan ba ko na makuha ko anak ko? Pano po gagawin ko na ngayon nasa barko na ulit ako?
Hi atty,

Atty, magandang araw po.
Sana matulungan nyo po ako. I have a live in partner for almost 7 years at meron kaming anak na babaye. We seperated kasi she cheated on me twice sa magka ibang lalake. My daughter was a witness sa kung anu ang ginawa nya. My daughter at that time was turning 7 years old at pinili nya ako over sa mama nya. And now she is turning 8 this year. Ang pinangangambahan ko is. Baka maghabol yung ex ko sa anak ko. Which I am afraid that it’ll happen. At ayaw talaga ng daughter ko sumama sa mama nya. She was traumatized kasi about sa nangyari. During those times kasi na nagloko ex ko yung anak q nagsuffer. Hindi nya man lang mahatid sa school at kailangan ko pang pilitin para lang mahatid yung anak namin. At d nya pa nahatiran ng panglunch yung anak namin.
At ngaun kasal na cya sa iba at me anak na rin. Me chansa po ba na sa akin nalang yung full custody ng daughter ko?

Magandang araw po. Ako po si alex, may anak po ako na 3yrs old at buntis po ako ngayon ng 6months. Dati po kasi may nakafling ako na lalaki pero hindi pa po ako nun buntis. at isang beses po na nagkita kami pero never po may ngyari, umabot po ang relationship namin ng 3months. pero nung nahuli po ako ng asawa ko na kakontakan ko yung boy, itinigil ko po agad. Ngayon po ang asawa ko naman po ang nagloko at pinabayaan kami ng 2months na wala sya niha-niho. Kahit po mga panggastos sa panganay namin at sa pinagbubuntis ko pinabayaan nya po. Ngayon po ay binahay nya na yung kabit nya at sabi po nila na buntis daw po yung kabit ng asawa ko. Ngayon po ay nilalaban ko ppo sa barangay yung sustento na dapat sa mga anak ko at yung naiutang ko po sa kapitbhay namin na pera nung panahon na inabanduna nya na kami. Sa ngayon po tinatakot nila ako na ilalaban daw po nya custody sa panganay namin. Hindi ko po kasi pinapakita sa asawa ko yung anak ko kasi po ayoko na i-expose nya yung anak ko sa kabit nya. Hindi ko naman po pinagdadamot sa mga byenan ko ang anak ko. Tanong ko po kung may laban po ba sya sa custody? O malalaban ko po ba yung 2months na naiutang ko para mapunan yung pag aabanduna nya samin. Sana po matulungan nyo ko, at any opinion po kung magkano dapat ko hingiin na sustento para sa 3yrs old ko na anak at sa pinagbubuntis ko.

Hi atty. Paano po kumuha ng full custody?
Hindi po nakalagay ang tatay ng anak ko sa birth certificate nya. Ngayon po kasal na ko sa isang danish at iaaply ko na po sya ng visa dito sa bansa ng asawa ko para magkasama na kmi. Kaso kailangan ko pong iprove na ako lang may full custody sa kanya. Paano po kayo at saan ako makakakuha nun? Nandito pa rin ako sa bansa nya. Maaari po bang isa sa magulang ko ang kumuha nito? Maraming salamat po.

Di po maganda ung pgsasama nila laging ng aaway, ung kapatid ko po ay ngwowork sa ibang lugar tpos ung mga bata kasama ng nanay nila. Minsan po d makasundo ng mga bata ung nanay nila kasi may ugali din, minsan nanakit at sinisiraan kming pamilya ng tatay nila. Alam po ng mga bata kung gaano namin sila kamahal at mas gusto nila makasama kmi kesa dun sa nanay nila. Ngayon po, pinalayas ng ina ung bata ung panganay, hinanapan po namin sya ng matuluyan. Ask ko lang po atty, kasi ung bata willing sumama sa tatay, indi pinili ung nanay nya. May karapatan ba syang mamaili na? Kasi nung mailapit namin sa isang judge, bakit sinabi nung judge na walang habol ung kapatid ko, tapos nung ngsalita ung kapaid ko na ‘pinalayas ng nanay nya’ ang sagot eh, mahaba dw ung proceso na igugol… Sa pgkakalam ko po talaga below 7 yrs old sa mother ung custody, ung pamangkin ko po ay 14 yrs old na. Pls Help
Good day atty
Paano po ba ang gagawin ko sa court decision na ang custody ng anak ko ay nasa ex ko. Annuled na po kami at phsychologically incapacitated ako which is yon ang reason kung bakit nawala sa akin ang custody. Pero kahit ganun ang desisyon ng korte patuloy pa rin ang magandang relasyon namin ng anak ko at ako po ang sumusuporta sa kanya financially mula noon hanggang sa kasalukuyan.
Ngayon po nakatira na po ako sa ibang bansa at gusto ng anak ko sumama sa akin at pumapayag naman ang ama nya kasi may ibang pamilya na rin ito.
Pwede po ba akong mag apela sa korte para sa joint custody kahit na 6 years na ang nakalipas ng magdesison ang korte? Gaano po katagal ang aabutin kung mag apela ko? Sana po mapayuhan nyo po ako.
Salamat po
Hello po Atty,
23 years old na po ako at mayroon po akong younger sister na 4 years old. Gusto ko po sana syang tumira sa akin dito sa ibang bansa at ako ang maging legal guardian nya. Wala na po kaming ina at ang papa na lang po namin ang nag-aalaga sa kanya. Ako rin po ang sumusuporta sa papa ko financially. Gusto rin po ng papa ko na ako ang mag aalaga sa kapatid ko para magkaroon ng magandang buhay. Kaso kaylangan ko pong amponin legally ang kapatid ko para madala ko sya dito sa ibang bansa. Hindi ko po kasi madala ang kapatid ko dito kung hindi legally adopted. Kaya kaylangan ko syang amponin legally.
Ano po ba ang proseso ng pag ampon ng nakababatang kapatid? papayag po ang papa ko na magbigay sya ng written consent. Gaano po katagal ang proseso?
Salamat po.

Good evening po.
Gusto ko lang po magtanong kung if ever po na kunin ko yung 2 anak ko sa kalive in o ay makukuha ko po ba?
Yung panganay po nmin ay 11 years old na at ang pangalawa nmin ay 9 years. Ang bunso nmin 2 years old..ang bunso po nmin andito po sa akin pero yung dalawa po asa side nila kasi po nag aaral at nagtatrabaho po ako dito dati sa masbate.
Nagtatrabaho po ako dati kaso po umalis po ako nung malaman ko na may syota xa na taga doon sa kanila. Di na po kasi ako nakakafocus sa work kaya umalis ako at kinuha ko din po yung 2 years old na anak nmin. Gusto ko na po makipag hiwalay sa kanya kasi po nalaman ko din po na simula pa ng isa palang anak nmin ay may naging karelasyon na xa sa kanila..ngayon ko lang po nalaman lahat kasi inamin nia din po sa akin. Ngayon po ay nag aapply ako para makapag trabaho ulit.. Kukunin ko po yun dalawang anak ko sa bakasyon..Di po kmi kasal kaso po nung nag aaral ako at nagtrabaho xa nag alaga sa mga anak namin..iniisip ko po na makukuha ko po ba mga anak ko na above 7years old na? Lalo na kung ang daddy nila ang piliin nila.
Nakikitira po kmi sa parents ng kalive in ko.. Wala pong trabaho ang kalive ko kaya po nagdecide ako na magtrabaho..Umaasa lang po xa sa mga magulang nia kasi po retired police tatay nia at school clerk nanay nia.
Ang alam ng mga anak nmin ok kmi kasi po di kmi nag away hanggang sa may nagsumbong sakin na may karelasyon ang kalive in ko.

Hi Manelyn. Ang mag-asawa ang may custody sa mga anak. Pakibasa ang related na post na ito: https://pnl-law.com/blog/child-custody-of-the-father-and-mother-visitation-rights-in-the-philippines/
Good luck.
Good day po!
Nais ko lamang po humingi ng legal advice tungkol sa custody ng anak ko. Hindi po kami kasal ng mother nya at naghiwalay kami last year dahil kumabit sya. Yung anak po namin ay nsa province nila at family ng mother nya ang nag aalaga. Alam ko po ang batas about sa child custody, pero ang case po kasi ay hindi po kasama nung anak ko ung mother nya. Kasi po yung mother nya ay nasa bulacan at doon nakatira sa bago nyang ka live in at nagtatrabaho din po kasi. May grounds po ba sa mother pra mag file ako ng custody dispute kasi hindi naman nya kasama yung anak namin?
Hi Mark. Pasensiya na at bawal magbigay ng legal advice kung walang attorney-client relationship. Na-discuss na rin ang issue sa custody ng illegitimate children sa ibang post: https://pnl-law.com/blog/child-custody-of-the-father-and-mother-visitation-rights-in-the-philippines/
Good luck.
Good day. I just want ask about my situation. Single mom po ako. 3 years old na ang anak ko. Hindi kami kasal ng tatay ng bata pero gamit nya ang surname ng father nya. Ako po ang nagsusupport sa anak ko. One year na kaming hiwalay dahil nahuli ko po syang nagdadrugs. Maraming beses ko syang binigyan ng chance magbago pero di sya tumitigil gumamit. Nong una hindi sya pumapayag makipaghiwalay hanggang kung ano anong message ang narerecieve ko galing sa kanya. Na wala daw ibang pwedeng makinabang sa amin/akin. May mamamatay daw muna. Ipapatulfo daw nila ako at sisirain ang image ko. Hanggang nagdecide ako na umuwi dito samin sa province. Pinutol ko ang lahat ng communication ko sa family nila lalo na sa kanya. Until recently nangungulit sila sakin na hihiramin nila ang anak ko, nangungumusta sila pero blinock ko ulit sila sa social media accounts ko. Nong tinanong ko naman sila about sa sustento ng anak ko, ayaw daw nila magbigay kung hindi ko ipapahiram ang bata.Palagay nyo po ba ay pwede akong kasuhan dahil inaalisan ko sila ng chance na mahiram ang bata? Magiging reason po ba yun na makuha nila ang sole custody in case mag file sila ng child custody? pwede ko ba silang kasuhan sa hindi nila pagbibigay ng financial support? pano po kung ayaw ko na talagang ipahiram sa kanila ang anak ko, makakasuhan ba ako?
Hi Atty.
Gusto ko lang po malaman if ano pwede gawin ng kapatid ko (guy) para makuha full custody ng anak nya after magbirthday ng bata ngaung August, my niece will turn 8 yrs old by then. Nasa mama nya po ung bata kasi po below 7 yrs old ung pamangkin ko, wala po kaming laban dun, pero nasa side nga ng mama nya ung bata lagi naman pong wala ung mama nya. nakatira po yata sa ibang bahay at lola at lolo lang nagaalaga sa pamangkin ko, pumapayag sila kunin ng kapatid ko ung bata pag Saturday pero dapat daw ibalik ng Sunday morning kasi pag hindi daw po kakasuhan nila ng kidnapping kapatid ko.
May cp po ung pamangkin ko at may wifi naman sa bahay ng mama nya, tumatawag po dati sa messenger ung pamangkin ko pero nabalitaan namen na kinuha nila ung CP ng pamangkin ko kasi daw po baka lumabo mata ng pamangkin ko, gusto lang naman ng bata na maka video call nya ung papa nya pero ayaw ibigay ng lolo at lola nya.
ano pong pwedeng gawin ng kapatid ko dito since pabaya naman ung mama ng pamangkin ko? thank you po. I would really appreciate ung insight nyo about this issue. maraming salamat po in advance.
Hi Attorney! And to everyone that can help me. I am a mother of an 11 year old. She is an illegitimate child. We’re planning to renew her Canadian Visa. The first time that we applied was denied and the reason was “need ng consent of the other parent”. The consent was given naman. Pero this time nagkaroon na ng away kami ng father niya. Just want to ask kung anong legal documents ang pwede kong i-provide aside dun sa consent para ma-grant? Since illegitimate child naman siya? Pwede po ba akong mag provide ng documents stating na as her mother “innate parental authority by law” na ang pinang hahawakan ko? Then have it notarized. Enough na po ba yun? Ayoko lang po talagang humingi ng consent. Or pwede po ako mag file ng demand letter to provide his consent? Thank you. Hope someone can help.
