PETITION
1. Petitioner is the mother of the minor Aveline Olives who was born out
of the valid marriage between petitioner and respondent Lanz Aidan
L. Olives;
3. The minor has been living with the petitioner in the house of the
latter’s mother and the minor’s maternal grandmother since the
petitioner and the respondent separated;
5. Being below seven (7) years of age, custody of the minor is naturally
presumed to belong to the petitioner, as her mother. Consequently,
respondent’s refusal to allow petitioner to regain custody over the
minor is unlawful and unjustified.
3. I have read the contents thereof and the facts stated therein are true and
correct of my personal knowledge and/or on the basis of copies of
documents and records in my possession;
4. I have not commenced any other action or proceeding involving the same
issue in the Supreme Court, the Court of Appeals, or any other tribunal or
agency;
