    Perla V Baring

    This document summarizes a court case regarding a petition for child support. The petitioner Antonio was alleged to be the father of respondent Randy, the son of respondent Mirasol. However, the court ruled that Mirasol and Randy did not provide clear and convincing evidence to establish Randy's paternity and filiation to Antonio. Specifically, Randy's birth certificate and baptismal certificate listing Antonio as the father were not sufficient on their own without Antonio's involvement in preparing the documents. Therefore, the court determined Randy was not entitled to support from Antonio.
