Custody Battle

[captpoloy]

---

As I know below 18yrs old, custody should be on the mother but if your children dont want to go their mom instead to their dad. Is there any legal option for the father? A friend of mine needs help... Any lawyers or istoryans with knowledge on child custody in here?

Child Custody

Q. - In case of separation-in-fact of parents, who has the right of custody over the child?

A. - No child under seven years of age shall be separated from the mother, unless the court finds compelling reasons to order otherwise (Second paragraph, Art. 213, Family Code).

and i think, by the time a child is 7 y.o., they are given the choice as to which parent they prefer to stay.

i am separated with my wife..but our son is with me...its true that 7 yrs old below should be with the mother BUT if there are valid reasons why the child should not be with the mother...then you have to prove it in court.... financial stability, mental capacity, moral issues, phsycological disorders ( some of the possible reasons )...3 of those are the reason why my son is with me :mrgreen:

and those are the three reasons why my son is with me and that his dad will never get custody hahahahahahahaha.

pait bya na...meron nga "father" pero talibagbag naman. mas mabuti pa ang wala na lang "father" at all. treat him as sperm donor. mas masaya! hehehehe

as for your friend.... ARE YOU SURE they do not want to be with their mom? why is that? could it be your friend has more gadgets than the mom? does the dad have a bigger house? or that the dad keeps on spoiling them? were they married before and separated? how long have they been separated? it is rare that kids would want to be with their dad...but if the mom is like usrolla's wife man sad....eh di dun na lang sa dad. pero kung there is nothing wrong with the mom....and the game is just who has the most gadgets...then it is not fair to remove the kids from their mom.

i am a single mom.

for me if who is the one who has the financial and mental capacity to take care of my child then siya ang winner but dapat naay visiting time ang loser para fair pud.

[usrolla]

my wife has visiting rights and she can even borrow our son for a day or 2( but with the yaya ) just to be sure that our son is well taken cared of.... coz my primary concern is proper care, proper upbringing ( menatally and spiritually )

unya if nagbuwag na mo sometimes mingawon man sab ka sa giaagian sa bata, unsaon naman sab ni ron?

Some women aren't born to be mothers aw. Motherhood is a choice. If ang mama okay lang pud niya pasagad lang pud siya sa iya life, dapat sa papa ang baby. Pero abi ninyo anytime ma mature ang mama ba ron naa gihapon siya'y right kuhaon iya anak in the future. Pwede i-reconsider ang grounds ngano wala niya ang custody kung capable na siya mo tend sa iya anak, financiall and emotionally. Ma mature man gyud ta in time. Basta rule of thumb, never never say bad things about the mother to your child, maka affect gyud sa iya life in any way. Bisan unsa pa gabuang iyang mama, mama pa gyud gihapon niya.

Ako husband rude kaayo sila mag-istoryahanay sa phone sa mama sa iya anak nga ang custody tua sa mama. He would say, "you're mom is stupid, crazy bitch" mo intawn ilang anak nga naa pa gyuy ADHD samot na kabuang. Iya pud mama mean pud kaayo sa iya daddy. Mo na, buang pas tanang buang ilang anak as in, usahay motukar magpahid-pahid sa iya tae sa bathroom. Poor kid. Di man pud ko manglimpyo sa iya agi ug naa siya diri iya man daddy. Luoy gyud ang bata.

whatever diffrerences parents have with one another grave or not should put it aside for the sake of their children. children are just casualties of their bad judgments and should not be punished. too bad some parents do extreme things to get even with their hatred with one another and sometime used the kids as bait not thinking that it hurts their kids more than anything else....
