Good pm…i would like to know if it is possible that my brother will get the custody of his son?..They are not married but they live together for the sake of the child. They already got separated before but they got back together because the girl’s telling my brother that if they did not get back, my brother will not see his son. The girl is a jealous-freak and would always tell my brother whenever they argue that she and the child will go home to her parents. The girl has another child to her first partner, she has no work for years now and her parents who are of old age are the ones looking after her first child, and she’s even drinking when she’s at her parents home (the child is telling us). And as far as i know, he even asked my brother to pay for her debts. My brother is mentally and emotionally stressed with what the relationship is going. He wanted to have an agreement that his child will be with him since he’s the one supporting, and sending him to school. My brother’s son a daddy’s baby. I know that the child should 7y/o so he can decide where he wanted to stay, the thing is, he’s only 4y/o. Is it possible that the child will be with my brother since he’s the one who has work and has the capacity to give what his son needs. We thought thay if they got separated again, my brother will be obliged to give allowance for his son, but the thing is, how sure are we that the allowance will be spend only to his son, since the girl has another child and no work, no source of income. Do we have a law that states, the child should be with the parent who can give a better life and give the most welfare. Thank you.

Attorney ask ko lang po ano po dapat ko gawin para po mapa rehistro ko ang live in partner ko po. Wala po syang live birth. Born in Samar pero sa Manila lumaki. Tubong Samar po father nya at matagal na pong pumanaw, tubong kapangpangan naman po ang Nanay nya. 39 yrs old na po sya at may anak na po kami. Di po kami kasal sa kadahilanang wala po syang birth certificate may SSS, Philhealth po sya. Last year gusto nya mag loan kaso may Mali sa last name nya po kaya hinanapan po sya ng PSA. Kaya d po kami makapag pakasal at di nya po mailagay ang pangalan ng Bata sa beneficiary nya kase po may problema sa last name nya sa SS. Matagal na po kase sila wala sa Samar Kaya d po nya alam papunta don ganun din po ang Nanay nya. Salamat po sa sagot. God bless!
Married po ako. And meron akong mga properties na naipasok sa marriage which by law is may rights nadin ung misis ko. Dahil gusto kong ibenta mga properties ko na nakapangalan pa sakin as a single, gumawa kami ng SPA ng asawa ko to authorize ung sell and all transactions dun sa properties ko. Pareho kaming may pirma sa SPA at may pirma din isang witness. Hindi napo naming pina-notarize ung SPA.
Ang tanong ko attorney is kung ung SPA ko ay nag-execute ng Deeds of Sale sa isang buyer,
(1) legally binding or valid po ba ung Deed of Sale na pinirmahan nung SPA ko at buyer kahit hindi notarized?
(2) if legally valid ung Deeds of Sale kahit hindi notarized, gano po katagal ung validity nung Deeds of Sale?
(3) pwede pa po ba habulin ni misis or ipa-void ung un-notarized Deeds of Sale na pirmado na ng SPA at buyer?
Maraming salamat attorney sa tulong ninyo!
