Migrating abroad

In Philippines
Last Updated: Jun 13, 2024

How long is the process to get full custody of the child, considering that she's migrating abroad? I need full custody before she travels abroad. The father has not supported me financially since birth and I don't know where he is, my child still uses his surname.

It depends on the country where you are located. Where I am located, the procedure is done by the High Court of the place of residence of the child in question. Procedure might take from from 6 months to 1 year.
