Question

Legitimated Children - Rights of Legitimated Children

Marvin and Jane got married in 2010, and they subsequently had a child named Andrew. However, at the time of Andrew's birth, Marvin and Jane were not yet married. Five years after Andrew's birth, Marvin and Jane decided to legalize their union and got married in 2015. As a result of their marriage, Andrew was legitimated.

Under Article 179 of the Family Code, legitimated children shall enjoy the same rights as legitimate children. These rights include:

  1. The right to bear the surnames of the father and the mother;
  2. The right to receive support from their parents;
  3. The right to inherit from their parents;
  4. The right to have their parents' legal status;
  5. The right to be entitled to all other rights granted to a legitimate child.

Considering the given scenario and the provisions of the Family Code, discuss the rights of Andrew as a legitimated child. Explain each right and its implications on Andrew's legal status and entitlements.
