I know mothers always has advantages towards a children. So, Please guide me the best legal way with complete rights as being a father to a daughter.
THANK YOU.

I would like to ask your advise regarding my helper’s problem.
Ann, at 16 yrs of age was forced by her mother to marry a guy,21 yrs of age. They stayed together for one year and was pregnant when they separated . Only the mother -in- law knew about it. Her mother asked where her child was because she intends to give the child to an aunt. Ann told her mother that she had a miscarriege. She actually gave birth to a girl and asked that the child be taken cared of by the aunt of her husband. She went back to her husband and she again became pregnant, separated again and stayed with her mother who collected money from her husband for check up and for her delivery. Ann gave birth to a baby boy and again left her son to her husband because she went to work as a helper in another town. She sent money to help support the second child. Her mother took the child from the father and began collecting money from both Ann and the father. Ann’s mom would demand for financial support both from Ann and father and would
present prescriptions for medicines , would tell them the child was hospitalized when in reality was not, would ask for money for baptism of the child when the child was already baptized and many more demands for money using the child as the reason for such necessity.
Ann’s history:
She was given to the manghihilot as payment for
services rendered when she and her twin were
delivered. An aunt learned about the incident,
looked for Ann and took her when she was two months old.
She was raised and sent to school by her aunt. At age
ll, her aunt died . Another Aunt took care of her in
Cebu.At age 14, her aunt again died of cancer and she
stayed with her cousins. She ran away because she was
physically and verbally abused. Shelooked for her
mother at age 16, but was forced to marry a guy she
barely knew. She says nothing against her father except
that he is a drunkard and claims that her father did
not /does not know about her mother’s activities. Her
mother is often out of work because she is “palautang”
and gambles. Her mother sometimes does not go home for
a day to attend to her gambling activities. She leaves
Ann’s child under the care of the other children.
While Ann is with us, she would demand for money two
to three times a month leaving Ann penniless and
threatened to get Ann back if she could not collect.
Ann desperately wants to get her child back to the
father who has the capacity to raise the child
properly. She does not like to go home because she wants
to earn a living so she can also help support her
little boy.
What are Ann’s rights, atty.
1. She is only l9.
2. Her mother is combative
and scandalous.
3. Ann’s husband and mother-
in- law do not like trouble
but are very much willing
to raise the little boy.
4. Ann gave her husband
custody but her mother
took the child away.

Please help Ann.
