child

- civil status of the child in relation to his or
her parents
![Page 3: REPORT - Paternity and Filiation Chapter 1 (MOLINA)](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042503/577cc7871a28aba711a1373d/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
CONCEPT
Importance of establishing paternity and
filiation: determination of rights and
obligations
- use of surname
- parental authority, child custody
- support
- inheritance
![Page 4: REPORT - Paternity and Filiation Chapter 1 (MOLINA)](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042503/577cc7871a28aba711a1373d/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
CONCEPT
The law is concerned with the establishment of paternity only and not maternity
- nature always points out the mother by evident signs
- the mother is always certain as to her maternity, whether married or not; the father is not
- the mother may not know or may feign ignorance as to the paternity

![Page 15: REPORT - Paternity and Filiation Chapter 1 (MOLINA)](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042503/577cc7871a28aba711a1373d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

In Re: Baby M (1988)
Facts:
Mary Beth Whitehead agreed to a (traditional) surrogacy contract in favor of the spouses Elizabeth and William Stern. She agreed to surrender the baby after birth to the natural father and his wife.
After the birth of the child, the Whiteheads no longer wished to surrender the baby. The Sterns asked the court to enforce the surrogacy contract and filed a complaint for the custody of the child.
The lower court favored the Sterns.
![Page 17: REPORT - Paternity and Filiation Chapter 1 (MOLINA)](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042503/577cc7871a28aba711a1373d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
In Re: Baby M (1988)
Held:
The surrogacy contract is unenforceable for being in direct conflict with existing laws and public policies:
1. The involvement of money makes the transaction tantamount to baby-selling
2. The termination of parental rights and visitation rights is based on a stipulation and not on the governing laws (e.g. fitness, abandonment)
3. Unlike in adoption, which is revocable, the surrender of custody in this case is permanent
![Page 18: REPORT - Paternity and Filiation Chapter 1 (MOLINA)](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042503/577cc7871a28aba711a1373d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Johnson v. Calvert (1993)
Facts:
A couple entered into a (gestational) surrogacy
contract with nurse Anne Johnson. The couple’s
egg and sperm cells were implanted on Johnson.
They were to pay $200,000 for her life insurance.
In return, Johnson is to surrender the child.
The relations between them soured. Johnson
wanted to retain custody of the baby.
![Page 19: REPORT - Paternity and Filiation Chapter 1 (MOLINA)](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042503/577cc7871a28aba711a1373d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Johnson v. Calvert (1993)
Held:
The gestational mother cannot claim custody of
the child as she is not the “genetic, biological and
natural” parent thereof. The baby was a product of
the egg and sperm cells of the spouses.
The court considers the parties’ intention, or
from whom the concept of the child emanated. This
contract was NOT INCONSISTENT WITH PUBLIC
POLICY.

CASE LAW
![Page 23: REPORT - Paternity and Filiation Chapter 1 (MOLINA)](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042503/577cc7871a28aba711a1373d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Perido v. Perido (1975)
Facts:
Lucio Perido had 3 children from his first marriage and 5 children from the second marriage. Upon his death, his surviving children and grandchildren executed an extrajudicial partition of his estate.
The heirs from the first marriage alleges the illegitimacy and successional rights of those from the second marriage based on the following:
a. children from 2nd marriage was born before death of first wife
b. the land certificate indicated that Lucio Perido’s civil status was SINGLE
![Page 24: REPORT - Paternity and Filiation Chapter 1 (MOLINA)](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042503/577cc7871a28aba711a1373d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Perido v. Perido (1975)
Held:
The children from the 2nd marriage are
illegitimate. There being no cogent proof of the
inexistence of the 2nd marriage, the presumption in
favor of marriage shall prevail. The civil status in
the land certificates cannot overcome such
presumption.
The birth of the children from the 2nd marriage
was likewise proven to have occurred after the
death of the wife from the 1st marriage.
![Page 25: REPORT - Paternity and Filiation Chapter 1 (MOLINA)](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042503/577cc7871a28aba711a1373d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Liyao v. Liyao (2002)
Facts:
A woman who has been separated in fact with her
husband cohabited with a married man and gave birth
to William Liyao Jr. The son claims to be an illegitimate
son of Liyao Sr. and asks for the latter’s legal family for
recognition as compulsory heir. He presented proofs of
his being a recognized illegitimate son.
The CA ruled against the declaration of illegitimacy,
upholding the presumption of legitimacy arising from
Liyao Jr.’s mother’s subsisting marriage.
![Page 26: REPORT - Paternity and Filiation Chapter 1 (MOLINA)](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042503/577cc7871a28aba711a1373d/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Liyao v. Liyao (2002)
Held:
The law favors the legitimacy rather than the
illegitimacy of the child. Liyao Jr. CANNOT
CHOOSE HIS OWN FILIATION. The fact that
Corazon’s husband, did not impugn the legitimacy
of the child fixed the latter’s status as legitimate.
The child cannot choose to be the child of his
mother’s alleged paramour.
