Copies of their certificates of live birth are hereto attached as ANNEXES “E”
and “F”;
7. Due to personal differences and constant bickering, petitioner and
respondent separated and lived independently from each other. It was
their agreement that petitioner will give financial support to his daughters
and that he will have visitation rights towards them and on special
occasions, bring them home with him;

12. It is submitted that based upon the fact that petitioner was only
