Adoption Case in the Philippines
« on: November 17, 2016, 02:23:37 PM »
-- In an adoption case, the wife alone filed the petition without joining the husband. It was granted, but that was under the Child and Youth Welfare Code (P.D. No. 603). When the Family Code took effect, they went to Court seeking for an annulment of the decree of adoption on the ground that under Article 185 of the Code, the husband and wife must jointly adopt. They contended that the law is a remedial statute and must be retroactive. Decide.

ANSwer: The contention is not correct. The wife's right to file the petition by herself already vested upon her filing thereof and cannot be prejudiced or impaired by the enactment of a new law. The trial court acquired jurisdiction over the petition. Jurisdiction is determined by the statute in force at the time of the commencement of the action. (Republic v. CA, G.R. No. 92326, January 24, 1992).

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
