    Question Dual Citizenship Between the Phillipines and USA

    hi,

    My brother married a filipino woman and they have twins which were born in the USA. They are legal USA citizens and also have citizenship in the Phillipines. They are going back to the Phillipines for a visit to see her family. My family is concerned that his wife is not happy and will refuse to return to the USA with the twins. She has been unhappy here and wanting to move back to the Phillipines with the twins. We are concerned that she will keep the twins in the Phillipines against my brothers will. What rights does my brother have to ensure that the twins are brought back to the USA if his wife refuses to let them leave the Phillipines? Will he have any recourse or help to bring them back to the USA or will this issue now be under Phillipines law instead of US laws?

    Any help or suggestions on whose rights would take precedence.

    many thanks,
    S

    It will become an international custody dispute, and could get very expensive. Tell him to consult a lawyer in the Philippines about how he might protect his rights if something happens.
