Hi,

Am I right to say that children from bigamous marriage are illegitimate? The reason why I am asking this is I was reading the DSWD requirements for applying for minor travel clearance. My fiance is celebrating his 40th birthday in Dubai and I'd like to take them. I found this on DSWD website:


"Illegitimate children are under the custody of the mother. If they will be traveling with the mother, they are not required to secure a travel clearance from the DSWD. If they are traveling with person other than the mother, they must secure a travel clearance. "

As previously mentioned, my case is I got 2 kids from a bigamous marriage (my Filipino ex-husband was already married to someone else before he married me). I just wanted to know if I am right because if I am right I need not to seek for their biological consent to travel outside the Phils.

Many thanks.
