If she leaves and then exits using a U.S passport in what way does that effect the situation ?

Not sure if it would help your situation.     She cannot leave the Philippines without her mom's consent .. DSWD.

If the child loses Philippines citizenship when they acquire us citizenship and never try to reacquire Philippines citizenship,  does dswd have authority over a us citizen?

Child doesn't lose Philippines citizenship .. not how it works when born to a USC and a Filipino.

Actually there is a recent case where that is maybe what exactly what happened.   The child (usc father, filipina mother) born in the Philippines,  tried to leave the Philippines after living her entire life in the Philippines,  using her US passport and she was fined a half million pesos for overstaying because they said she lost her Philippines citizenship when her father did the CRBA and passport.   They would not recognize her citizenship nor issue a Philippines passport until she went through the formal reacquistion process.

She never lost her Philippine citizenship because of CRBA and a U.S. passport.   There have been 3-4 situations that I know of like that.  The process she had to complete did not involve an oath taking, it was a recognition process.    The biggest flaw her parents did were that they did not obtain her Philippine passport when she was a baby.   Her parents would not have been denied the Philippine passport for her.. thus she did NOT lose her citizenship with CRBA.      There are hundreds that have come through this forum completing CRBA and at the same time obtaining the child's Philippine passport.  

 

No different than a child born in the USA of a USC and Filipino parent ... the child is a dual citizen ... and even then the biggest mistake the parents can make is NOT to obtain the Philippine passport at the same time as ROB.

Take her to court and obtain full custody.

Highly unlikely....Also it will probably make it to court about the time the child is 25))

We are going straight from our CRBA appointment to DFA to get Philippines Passport.
