Here is my situation : Hi my name is Jim, 24, and have a wonderful daughter. I have my wife and still not married.
My partner and I are planning to give my parents a full custody of our daughter for the purpose of tax deduction of my parents. Right now, my partner and I are really not happy anymore and I can see in the future that we will have our separate ways, Its really sad.. But its the truth..
I dont want my daughter away from me in case we broke up. So my question is: If we voluntarily give my parent a full custody of our daughter, does my partner have the rights to take my daughter away from my parents? In case we broke up, I am prepared and I want everything to be equal with my parents in the middle.
I dont want my daughter to take away from me. Please dont judge me bad,
I not the mad one here..
(Please forgive my english grammar)
Thank you Guys!! Im looking for a good answer....

I do not know the law in the Philippines, (i only know US law....and even that is iffy sometimes depending on the circumstances) but if you legally sign over custody/parental rights to your parents....BOTH of you have to do this.........if you guys split, she should not be able to take off with your daughter, with out it being considered kidnapping of some sort. Keep in mind the same also applies to you. It would also depend a lot on the terms of the custody agreement. Are they to have full custody, and you and the mother to have rights to see the child? well, they cannot keep her from seeing the child, but if she tries to take off with the child then the law should be able to get involved. I would personally tell you to talk to a lawyer and get a better idea before you sign any paperwork. Would hate to see you make it worse for yourself in the long run.....

it's better to talk to a lawyer who can explain what you can and can't do, and how to go about them, by going to the public attorney's office nearest you.
this might also give you an idea about guardianship
