LEGAL matters for SINGLE parents

[mala_in_se]

queenb - i think the main problem is evidence. perhaps a dna test will sufficiently establish your parentage.

[purpleheadd07]

i'm a 32 yr.old single mom,my 14monthold son is using my surname and is not recognized by his biological father. I am getting married (Marriage for Convenience)this coming summer, i wanted my fiance's name on my son's birthcert in exchange of marriage so he can have a immigrant visa here in Philippines. We know that adoption is kinda expensive and long process. Is it possible/legal if instead of adoption,he will just get ''acknowlegment of paternity'' I'm afraid that they might ask for DNA if a applied for my kid's visa for travel in UK. All i want is my son's best interest even if it takes my marital status, i dont intend to marry anyways. What i want for him is a Surname he can use so he can avoid social embarrassment. Please try to enlighten my mind.
Thank you

ngayon ko lang nabasa, but isn't this more embarrassing, you take someone else's name just for you to be "saved"?

Hello Guys,

I hope that this thread is still active. Sana po yong mga abogado dito o similar case na meron samin matulungan kame ng mga anak ko kasi talagang litong lito na ako sa gagawin ko. We applied to immigrate to Canada. I have 2 Illegitimate Children both were out of wedlock but were acknowledged by their biological father at the back of their BC. Wala kameng natatanggap na support from him simula ng pinanganak ko yung 2nd Child ko. Tapos ho Canadian Embassy Manila is asking either of the two;

a. Written Consent from their biological father that he is allowing my Children to immigrate with me.

b. Court document that I have my Children's full custody.

I tried to ask the biological father to sign a written consent but he refused, full of bitterness ang father nila. I tried everything to let him sign pero talagang sarado ang isip nya sa magandang kinabukasan ng mga anak ko sa Canada.

Ang sakit lang kasi sa loob, hindi na nga sinusuportahan yong mga anak ko, abandoned na sila. ito na yong pagkakataon namin magkaroon ng brighter future ipagkakait nya pa sa mga anak ko. Bakit kaya may ganung klaseng tao, Baka mero naman po kayong maadvice na gawin ko?

Asa Family code naman po natin diba na ang Parental Authority ng bata eh sa Mother like what I've read from previous post from rudy biased daw ang Law natin... Sa case nya if he is the responsible father I agree with him... pero dahil Ako yung tumayong ina at ama ng anak ko for 7 years, I think sobrang unfair ang ginagawa nung ama nung mga anak ko samin. Sana lang di natutulog ang Diyos at nakikita nya yong ginagawa nitong taong ito samin...

Sana po matulungan nyo ako... Maraming Maraming Salamat

i believe kailangan mo i-adopt ng asawa mo at ikaw ang anak mo para magamit niya ang family name niyo. ask a lawyer about this. good luck!

Nabasa ko din yang requirements ng Canada for immigration , I think there's nothing we can do about it but to follow , requirement nila yan eh .
Siguro mas maganda if you can get the help of his siblings or any relative/ common friends na i-convince yung bio-father ng anak mo. I think bitter siya kasi baka gusto din niyang sumama sa Canada .. hehehe. Just a wild guess but it's a possibility na he won't tell you because of his pride , pero iniisip din niya un,'lam mo naman ang mga lalake.

Just push through what you've started , it's for your kids future naman , and it's true na malaki ang maitutulong nito sa mga anak mo.

Hello po... alive and kicking pa kaya to?

I have a question po or should I say a lot of questions... LOL

situation: I was only 20 years when I got pregnant and married. After I gave birth I realized that he's not only an irresponsible husband, but a father as well. So un nga ngseparate kame after a year kasi when he got his first job he did not give me the money but he used the money to drink with his co-workers without my consent and a lot of reasons pa...
Three years passed, before we graduated from college I talked to him coz we were schoolmates, I was asking for financial support, but as usual ang sagot ng dad ng baby ko "C MAMA ang mgdedecide", but my point was mgtratrabaho na kme so he should not use his mom as an excuse.so 6 years no show ang dadi even bdays or special events. So I thought wala na talaga pag-asa maayos so I met someone and now I have my own family na... Without me knowing same situation *** kme ng dad ng son ko and he did the same thing sa 2nd family nia... Trny nmen lumapit sa dad nia this year *** *** **** mgksama *** and bonding moments but after maglambing sa kanya ng bata to buy him new school shoes and bag, he changed his mobile number and he's not answering the phone n sa office lage wala daw...

Ito na questions:
1. My karapatan pa ba *** bata to have financial support from his dad kahet may kanya2 na kameng mga pamilya?
2. May right ba yung dad ng son ko n kasuhan ako because nagkafamily ako?
3. Ano po mga legal actions n pwede gawen and mga how much and how long po kaya process?


Thank you ^^

Nagbabasa lang po ako and constant consultation sa mga lawyers regarding my case. Anyway, about your case, definitely you or your children have the legal right to ask for support. Kung kasal po kayo nung biological father, the guy is obligated to support you and your children. Kung hindi naman po kayo kasal, the father is still required by law to support your children.

Since nabanggit mo naman po na you've already tried to communicate with the father and di ka naman pinansin, and you really want to demand support, you should take legal action. And like how it is described in the guidelines posted here by fellow pexters, you should find a good lawyer na tutulong sayo to send the demand letters and the petition for the request of support. If you can't afford to pay a laywer, meron naman po free legal assistance sa Public Attorney's Office sa lugar nyo. If you are qualified, you can avail of their services.

Other things to consider is yung acknowledgement nung mga anak mo. If their father signed at the back of their brith certificate, mas madali po to file the petition for support. But kung hindi po sya nakapirma and mag deny sya na sya ang tatay, pwede ka pa rin mag file ng petitoin but you will need to prove first that he is the father of your children.

nabasa ko lang po itong sagot nyo sa isang sender, i have the same case with her. in my case yung father ng anak ko ay nasa ibang bansa na and i dont know the address how i will send a demand letter to him. and he told me that he wants to take my son there also but the problem is may kondisyon, gusto nya tumira yung anak ko sa side ng family nya but my son dont like to stay there, so i decided na humingi nalang ng supporta sa kanya. matutulungan po ba ako ng PAO regarding this matter.

[azr1992]

The PAO can help you if you provide enough information so that the advice given you will be as accurate as possible.

If you can afford it, I suggest you seek advice from private practitioners with experience in family law cases since they're more likely to be updated and knowledgeable in these cases.

how can a father (unmarried) get sole custody of his children?

what is the fastest legal remedy he has to take?

he wanted to bring his children to the US permanently. His children are acknowledged in their birth certificates. thank you

[joygutierrez]

Hello!

What are the disadvantages and advantages of having my baby named after me (surname that is)

Sabi nila "unknown" na daw nilalagay sa BC ng baby pag di inacknowledge?

What's the sense of having the father acknowledge my baby when I won't let my baby have his name nor will I ask for any support?



Any link about this? Family code for single parents.

Thanks!

[raincloud07]

Hi Joy. Check these links out. Dami ka matutunan about Family Code, specially scenarios na dinulog na din ng mga commenters. Baka may similar sa situation mo.

sad lang according to the new family code, if the child carries the mother's surname, blank ang middle name niya. so it's like a stigma on paper na walang tatay ang bata.

Yes, the thread is alive and kicking…

With regards to your question, the basic rule is that: YES, the father can be charged with kidnapping if he did not return the Minor to the mother who has the legal custody of the child. Meaning, the primary consideration is that the mother should have the SOLE custody of the child.

Custody of a minor now depends on the following:

1)Are the parents of the minor married? If married, what is the status of their separation? (Legal separation, annulled?)

If the parents are married, and have not yet filed for legal separation or annulment, both parents still share custody of the minor children. But if the father suddenly had the urge to keep the children to himself, the mother can compel the father to return the child by filing a petition for Habeas Corpus. This is the fastest way to force the father to bring out the child since this is immediately executory. But the petition for custody should follow.

If parents are already legally separated or annulled, the court’s decision on the separation normally comes with the decision on child custody. Normally, the mother is awarded custody especially when children are below 7 yrs old but rules also say that the court will NOT grant custody to the offending parent. (Kung naghiwalay dahil may kabit ang father, custody is given to the mother. Kung established na mother ang may kabit or proven na pabaya ang mother, custody goes to the father)


2)If the parents were not married, the father may have visitation rights but mother should have custody since father doesn’t have parental authority. He can be charged with kidnapping for hiding the child from the mother. Unless otherwise the court granted the custody to the biological father based on serious reasons. Like in my case, since I was awarded custody of my daughter through adoption, I can now charge the mother of kidnapping if she suddenly decides to retake our child against my will. The adoption process severs the connection between the child and the biological parent who gave up the child for adoption.

What if the scenario is this: parents are living together for almost a year, the father allowed the child to carry his name. one day, the mother left the father for no obvious reason (didn't say that something was wrong, was even intimate with the father in the morning before she left. she just took off with the kid, leaving all the child's stuff and her things as well) and goes to live with her ex-bf. can the father charge the mother for kidnapping? or should the father opt to charge the ex-bf instead? or both? is there a way for the father to get full custody of the child in this scenario? your feedback would be highly appreciated. Thanks

P.S. hope you can also provide a resource person (if this is beyond your capability) that could help.

Married ba yung father at mother?

If no, walang kaso yung mother or yung ex-bf.

[raincloud07]

^kung di married yung couple, the mother automatically gets custody of the child unless proven otherwise by the father.
