Child custody is a crucial aspect of family law, as the well-being of the child is of utmost importance. According to Philippine law, when it comes to children under the age of 7, custody is typically awarded to the mother. However, in cases where there are convincing reasons for the mother to be deprived of custody, a different person may be granted custody under Article 214 of the Family Code. Such reasons may include neglect, abandonment, joblessness and immorality, habitual drunkenness or drug addiction, ill-treatment of the child, insanity, or communicable illness.
In general, both parents have equal parental rights over their child, including custody. If one parent wishes to file for custody, they may do so in the location where they or the child reside. Additionally, under Section 20 of the Rules on Custody of Children, a parent may file a petition for a writ of habeas corpus to secure visitation or access rights to their child. This remedy is designed to address situations where one parent, family member, or third party is unlawfully withholding custody from the parent.
