I am an American and I have an 8 year old daughter. She was born in the Philippines while I was living there. Me and her mother were not married and her mother did not want either of us so I have Philippine court ordered primary custody and international travel rights. Truth is she only wanted money so I paid her off. My daughter and I have since moved to the US and she is an American citizen.
What happens to my daughter should I die? Would she be forced to return to the Philippines to her mother or can I will custody of her to a relative in the US? The only reason her mother might want her back is to get any benefits I may have left behind to my daughter.
