<br/><br/> This note examines the unique position of the Filipino child in legal proceedings involving the dissolution of his parents' marriage, and identifies the rights of the child in such proceedings. It also examines the consequences of intentional and unintentional gaps in related legislation, as well as the efficacy of existing mechanisms for ensuring the well-being of the child during and after divorce. As recommendation, it makes the argument for legal representation for the child, given that the existing support mechanisms may be inadequate to meet his needs.
