Custody of minors: Child's best interest will always prevail
Dear PAO:Five years ago, Jean and I had a custody battle over my illegitimate grandson. Unfortunately, I lost because the law grants parental authority over an illegitimate child to the mother. My son, who was the child's father, has since passed away. Lately, I have heard that my grandson is being abused by his mother. My relatives are urging me to seek custody of my grandson. However, I am hesitant because I believe the decision on custody is final and absolute. Please guide me.
It also means the least detrimental available alternative for safeguarding the growth and development of the minor.'Article 176 of the Family Code of the Philippines, as amended by Republic Act 9255, also provides that illegitimate children shall be under the parental authority of the mother; thus, the said provision of the law must be given effect in conjunction with the best interest of the child.
