Hello. I am an illegitimate child. When i was born my mom registered my family name under my biological father. But when i was 8years old she change it to her surname. And now my birth certificate is under my mothers surname. She told me before our Philippine law changed that time and it stated that those women who are not legally married are not allowed to use fathers surname. So she changed my surname under her surname. I have my letter to support how she changed it with witnessses who signed it. She also said she changed it because Philippine change its law that illegitimate children are not allowed to use fathers surname. She also changed it because she said my father did not support me. She also said that its better to use her surname because wherever she may go she can petition me in case she will go abroad.
My father also has another 2 more illegitimate children 1 is bringing his surname another is also the same case as mine under mothers surname.
Now my father is legally married to his wife now. But they have no bioligical children. What they do is they adopted twins a girl and a boy. But according to my father's sister the twins they adopted is they just transferred the name directly to them. So the twins using my fathers surname. ( as i know this is not the legal way of adoption. Since my mom adopted my brother we go through the court hearing till it was a success he is now legally adopted).
Now my question is, as an illegitimate child do we have the rights of what my father's property has? What if the wife will say me and my other illegitimate brother and sister are illegitimate and we dont have rights of my father's property? Us the 3 illegitimate children, do we have equal rights with their adopted twins? How will it be divided wife, twins and 3 illegitimate children?
I want to know because its hurt to see the adopted children are enjoying my fathers possession. Where at my part he never supported me. Before she married his wife he already build his own properties. So it is not conjugal properties right?
Thank you for helping, I really appreciate your advise.
God Bless.
