Through all the family cases that we have handled, we have come to accept, without discounting the contrary, the sad fact that bad blood exists between the opposing parties (e.g., estranged spouses in annulment/separation/property cases, siblings and relatives in estate proceedings). In particular, with respect to custody-support cases over children, it is easily understandable that custody is one of the more contested issues. However, the issue on child support should not be as complicated.
It should not be as complicated, but reality makes it so. Articles 195 and 196 of the Family Code enumerate the persons who are under obligation to support each other:
- (1) The spouses;
- (2) Legitimate ascendants and descendants;
- (3) Parents and their legitimate children and the legitimate and illegitimate children of the latter;
- (4) Parents and their illegitimate children and the legitimate and illegitimate children of the latter;
- (5) Legitimate brothers and sisters, whether of full or half-blood; and
- (6) Brothers and sisters not legitimately related, whether of the full or half-blood, except only when the need for support of the brother or sister, being of age, is due to a cause imputable to the claimant’s fault or negligence.
On the other hand, the amount of support should be in proportion to the resources or means of the giver and the necessities of the recipient, pursuant to Articles 194, 201 and 202 of the Family Code:
Art. 194. Support comprises everything indispensable for sustenance, dwelling, clothing, medical attendance, education and transportation, in keeping with the financial capacity of the family.
The education of the person entitled to be supported referred to in the preceding paragraph shall include his schooling or training for some profession, trade or vocation, even beyond the age of majority. Transportation shall include expenses in going to and from school, or to and from place of work.
Art. 201. The amount of support, in the cases referred to in Articles 195 and 196, shall be in proportion to the resources or means of the giver and to the necessities of the recipient.
Art. 202. Support in the cases referred to in the preceding article shall be reduced or increased proportionately, according to the reduction or increase of the necessities of the recipient and the resources or means of the person obliged to furnish the same.
If you are a parent, it is safe to assume that you would want the best for your child and you wouldn’t hesitate to provide adequate support. However, it’s unfortunate that when it comes to support for the common children (whether legitimate or illegitimate), so many fathers still fail (or worse, simply refuse) to provide adequate support. Whatever the reason is, and regardless of whether or not these reasons are correct, the problem became pervasive, so much so that Congress saw it fit to “criminalize” (only against fathers) the withholding of support in certain instances. Not everyone knows that this is covered under Republic Act No. 9262, otherwise known as the “Anti-Violence Against Women and their Children Act of 2004“. [See Laws on Child Support in the Philippines]
Not everyone also knows that R.A. 9262 provides for criminal sactions or penalties for failure to provide support or withholding custody, in certain cases. Well, now you know.
Sir,
A blessed evening. I am married to a military officer who resigned from the AFP and now working as a permanent employee of the United Nations.
We separated in 2002,our daughter was then 11 months and the AFP placed my daughter in an allotment scheme.For two years, we received child support from him until his resignation sometime in January 2005.
I sought assistance from his military officers who summoned my husband to come back and provide a concrete plan of action.
He promised to give us his resignation benefits but after he was officially resigned from the service, he backed out from our agreement.
As I write this letter, the AFP headquarters cannot release the 50% resignation claims to us.
He also witheld from me his whereabouts and his capacity to financially support our daughter, now 5 years old.
A colleague of his took pity on our plight and gave the information, he now holds a permanent post as a UN employee based in Sudan. He said the rest is up to me.
My questions would be:
-can I write the UN about my husband’s non-support?
– would this case merit their attention?
I am in such financial difficulty right now and I am hoping that your answer can somehow spring some hope in me.
My deepest gratitude,
I am a seaman..i have 2 kids in my previous live in partner..we been seperated for almost 12 years from now…she take a way the kids and bring theme to other country she get married there…i never had a chance to meet my kids then…but this aug 8 . 2016 she ask me to meet the kids after long years…and now she is asking money for the kids…im legally married now and i have 1 daughter…how much should i give. And can i file a against this person???
why u should file a case..thats ur responsibility as a father..after so many years u ddnt give u should support them omg.
How can he support the childrin if his live in partner took it away from him, got married with another guy and for a long time he did hear any news about them. And all of sudden she will appear and ask for financial support. WTF! Is it the father’s fault? Of course not! so don’t get over reacted Ann. Jay is already asking how much and not as if he running from his responsibility.
isa po akong sea woman s ngayon at hiwalay po ako sa dati kong asawa ng halos 10 years napo.simulat sapol ang pagbibigay po nya ay hindi nararapat para masuportahan ang aking anak ….ang dahilan po ay dahil may trabho po ako…ngunit ako po ay isang f@b asst .lang at nasuweldo ng 450$ lo kada buwan…ngayon po gusto ko nang ipaglaban ang karapatan ng aking anak na buwan buwan na mabiguan sya ng suporta …at hindi lang yong kabit po nya at dalang anak..san po matulongan nyo ako kong no po dapat kong gawin..
maraming salamat po..
Yes u can…but first take dna
Javi g, Ann is correct he still the father and good for him after a long time this is the only time he will give support. Don’t judge the girl as maybe she has reasons why she took the kids away. Also, Jhay asks how much he will give so means he knows for himself that the children are his.
And Don, not all Filipina are bad or bullshit. Some men are dickheads!
that bitch she want scam u now after she ‘s gone in other country with kids and she didnt contact u until now.philipina is to bullsit woman
Don, watch your words. Not all Filipina is like that.
haha. just ignore that bitch
anak mo pa rin sila. pagusapan nio na lang kung magkano yung needs and kung magkano ung kaya mo pa ma balance. I am also in this situation, so I can relate.
all you ganna do is give support to your kids and for the meantime give anything amount u want and wait for legal demand from your ex if she wants and the court gives you instraction how much u give it is base on your capability
Good day atty..ano pomg pwde ko gawib kung ang ama ng mga anak ko ay nsskatan pag nkkita nila bagong fmily ng daddy nila..dun po sila nag stay s father dhil ayw magsustento..ano po ggwin ko?
My husband and I was separated for almost 6months, I want to ask the amount of financial support for my 6 kids, ages 17, 14, 9, 7, 4 & 2? I am in such financial difficulty right now because he only giving me 7,000/month, can I ask more?
Articles 195 and 196 of the Family Code enumerate the persons who are under obligation to support each other, thus: (1) The spouses; (2) Legitimate ascendants and descendants; (3) Parents and their legitimate children and the legitimate and illegitimate children of the latter; (4) Parents and their illegitimate children and the legitimate and illegitimate children of the latter; (5) Legitimate brothers and sisters, whether of full or half-blood; and (6) Brothers and sisters not legitimately related, whether of the full or half-blood, except only when the need for support of the brother or sister, being of age, is due to a cause imputable to the claimant’s fault or negligence.
On the other hand, the amount of support should be in proportion to the resources or means of the giver and the necessities of the recipient, pursuant to Articles 194, 201 and 202 of the Family Code:
Can i ask for some advice? My parents were no longer together. My father was a civil engr in Riyadh for almost 20 yrs i guess. My mother is a housewife. Me and my siblings were staying with our mom since our father is working an ofw. Since 2015 he didnt able to send us our financial support until now. I am the one sending their daily expenses since he stopped sending money for my family. I am his 2nd daughter of 4 children of his and also an ofw since 2016. Now my question is can i file a case against my father for deportation ? We also heard from his family side that he got a live in partner in Riyadh also a filipina coz we saw the other woman with him together in some random pictures and she is also known by our relatives from my father’s side. What i can see also here they betrayed us, they kept it for a long time that our father has other family we didnt know until now. There are rumors before and until now but we keep our faith and ignore them and until now my father is not telling us the truth, we are all grown up, we can understand it. For me, he shouldnt stop his financial support for my siblings and for my mom since they were still married. What case i can file for my father?
Just want to ask..pag wala po bang work ang father..excused na sya sa pagsuport? Also.. he and his mistress cinverted to islam and was able ti get married. He was allowed to have a second wife when in fact he can not support his first family. Is this legal? Always reason nila not to support is wlang work. Thank you
You can visit VAWC desk (Barangay) and PAO nearest to you, they will give you the best advice and everything you should know about RA 9262.
hey Robi, hired someone to assassinate him. you can do it. Act normal, act simply and just do some extra careful.
sabihin mo sa mga anak mo magtiis nalang hanggang makatapos or else kunin mo sila at hingi ka nalang ng support kung ano ang kakayahan ng father
hi good pm. ask ko lang po. we are not married ng father ng anak ko. and may first family sya peeo hindi din kasal sa unang asawa. is my son has also the right for the support. coz after a year, hindi na sya nagbgay ng supprt financial. do i need to file a case for the father who is not supporting financially to his son? please thankyou for answering in advance
Shasta, I’m sorry to hear about your situation. I really don’t know the official stand of the U.N. when it comes to this matter, so I can’t tell if writing them will merit their attention. Worst case, they will sack him, but that would not be necessarily better for everyone because he would be out of work and may not be in a position to provide any financial assistance. I suggest you approach the legal aid institutions like PAO or IBP. You could also try law shool-based legal aid, like U.P., Arrellano, etc.
Good luck.
Atty..
Id like to know how i could also seek for your advice in this forum. I am in a really bad shape now. I dont know where to go and where to get help from. The father of my kid has just left for qatar.

I dont have a job because he didnt want me to work and threatening that if i work he will no longer support for our kid or just half of it which i cannot afford because i also have a kid from my former partner prior to him and she already goes to school. We are also renting. Ive been talking and begging for him to do somethinh about our current situation just to put us through til i find a job and get paid but he just keeps on saying irrational things or namimilosopo and even asking for me to send him my photos. I feel emotionally and psychologically abused and our present situation makes it worse and i feel like im close to losing my mind. I feel ill right now. He is even daring me if our law will protect me from what hes been doinh. Pls help me. What should i do?
Hi Sir, I am 20 years old and I am trying to reach out to my dad for him to assist me to pursue my college degree. I only completed 1 year in college and I am now currently working in a BPO company.

Atty. what if i already file a case against the father of my child but still he refuses to support our child ? and during the hearing , he didn’t showed up ? what penalty can he receive ?
Hi Attorney! My name is Sarah. I hope you can give us some advise. My boyfriend had a one night stand with a random girl before he met me. After a month the girl contacted him and stated she was pregnant, btw my boyfriend is a foreigner. His in Norway so he doesn’t have a way to find out if the baby was his. We asked the girl if she can prove that she is really pregnant, she showed us a picture of ultrasound but does not include the exact transcription from the doctor about the ultrasound. She said she doesn’t want to share details because it goes against her views. We told her we wanted to help as much as we could but we also want to protect ourself so we seek proof. Every month she will missed call but when we try to ring he she won’t answer. We text her and ask what she wants n she will just say I’ll call u later. but she doesn’t call us back. that’s what she does every single month Feb till June. My bf felt harassed and ofcors he wanted to help he asked what she wants but she said she just want my nd to know. Recently she tired and asked for my bf medical records. We provided it. We asked her to show us some pics to prove her claim and we try to do vid call but she always decline. We ask for dna test after she give birth but she doesn’t want to. What do you think we should do. Can we seek assistance for Norwegian Embacy What type of case should we file to get a DNA test. and if the baby is his. How can we make sure that he will be able to get custody and what is the right amount that we should give for support.
Hi po magandang gabi sino po ba pwede kong makausp po para maliwanag at magkaroon ng malawak n kaalaman s karapatan ng anak ko po pinansyal s kanyang ama salamat po
Hi sir, i have the same case like shasta,
The father of my kids flew to canada and didnt want to support the kids. Is there any possibility that u can report him to canadian human rights?
Atty. Fred I’d like to ask if the father of my child did not acknowledge my daughter as his father in birth cert. But he give support in whatever amount he wants to give but not enough for my daughter’s needs. What is my right to ask for enough support as a mother? He has 2 kids to his partner, they are separated for more than 5 yrs but not yet annulled. I don’t know what to do… I feel like iI always need to beg eveytime I told him that his daughter has no milk and some needs, he just send 4k budget for 2 weeks or more… Sometimes 3k, 2k even 1,200 or worst nothing for the whole month. He’s a seaman in a cruise ship, he’s a baker. Our daughter is 2 years old only and as of now I can’t find regular work coz no one will take care of my daughter If I left home. All I ask to the father is help me for now coz our child is still a baby. And if she’s already 4 or 5 years old I’ll find the person to look for her and I will search a job. But he ignore me… I’m renting a house and have bills to pay monthly. As a mother I find ways on how to survive in our daily needs.
What is the right thing to do?
Hi.. I am a wife of a police major who was abandoned two years ago..He just left w/o any reason.. Until i found out that he was with a woman who was detained in his aor for qualkified theft.. He refused to support us at that time, and refused to talk to me.. In other words , he left us like a trash..I filed a case for non support and abandonment.. We talked and i gave way.. Held the case in abeyance.. For one year he did not comply with the agreement of giving us 10,500 , what i get is only 5,000.. after a year i talked to him but still does not want to add the support saying that he is supporting his sister to school..Is this right? Until lately, i saw a womans name tattoed on his ring finger but i did not react… What shall i do?
please help me
just try to talk nice with your ex partner.its only way
Sir,
I am a mother of a 3 yerar old girl. I broke up with her father while a was still 7 m0nths old pregnant with her. More than a year after I gave birth to my child, I initiated communication with the father for financial support. The father is a medical representative who now has his own family, and most probably earning around 15K a month. Now, he gives me 1,000 pesos monthly as monthly support (if we can call it support)and most of the time, he gives it late and often requests to give it in the next month. The amount is obviously not enough especially that my kid is about to go to school and I am not yet regular with my job as as admin assistant. My questions are:
1. How can I get monthly support that is more than this amount, which would be enough for the expenses for our kid?
2. Do we have laws wherein the financial support would be automatically deducted from his Monthly salary? This is to make sure the child gets it every month, without me having to meet the father every now and then.
3. Can I seek for his financial support without having to go to a lawyer? I am avoiding conflict with him that might affect our relationship with the kid in the future. How bout a DEMAND LetTer? What is it and what legal claims should I put in there?
4. If I am going to file a case, what is the estimate expenses for all the fees I need to pay? What case should I file?
PLEASE HELP. YOUR ADVISES ARE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED.
May advice ko sayo mag usap kayo para maayos problima ninyo good advice for you
You can file for RA 9262. The Court will order the company to automatically deduct it from your husband’s salary. You will provide an account number where the support will be deducted.
Do not settle for a demand letter. It is not a debt. It is a matter of right. Go for 9262 you can find justice in filing RA9262.
What if they are already annuled and the seafarer has a new wife now. The new wife is getting everything.can she still file ra9262 for her 3 childrens support?
Yes, the first wife can still file a case under RA 9262 . Even the parents are legally separated or annulled, the children have the right for financial support from the father.
Hi, i did this.filed a case, but he was a no show…so the piscal’s decision is for him to be liable and be punished accdg to the rule of law. But as of now he is still hiding… my question is how does our law handles this kind of scenario… does our law has means or doing something so he will face the charges against him? How can u find someone who is hiding with a case against him?
Can this also apply for example for my husband who is an american citizen who did not give any financial support?
yes, it can, the US government has an agreement with the Philippines
Hello, we are in the same boat. Have u already found a solution with this concern?
HI, good day to you sir, I’m Arnold a father of 2 kids. Me and the mother of the kids are to part ways and they are demanding 90 percent of my salary. Me and the mother are not married we had lived in for 7 years now that we’re about to part ways, is it legal that they demand so much for support and what should be the computation of my support for the kids. I have to live too. And in the event of our separation what should I do to prevent her from harassing me at work.Thanx and more power to you.
Hi.. What happened? How many recent did you gave. I am very curious. Thanks!
is impossible to pay 90 percent from your salary . for two kids u need to pay 40 percent from your gross salary.
Same Here ! But I have 3 kids? Im 18000/month.how much is the percentage that can we give as a support .Thanks Please answer..
Don , I have read articles that might help Atleast 25% of your salary as your support to your kid and not 90% .it depends on your capability and also if you have extra expenses will be lessen.
Hi. I need help asap. Criminal case against RA 9262 has been filed against my brother for reasons as stated: a) psychological violence (due to marital infidelity), b) insufficient support.
But would it be just to do so if, under section 7 (e,i), the wife and her family, and with threats of killing my brother, actually deprived him to have access to his children/family? As mentioned, i need help asap as their case will be heard this tuesday, January 15, 2008.
Kindly email me at: mrj4lyf@yahoo.com
Thank you.
I left my wife and now 2 year old son in Qatar for over a year and was transferred here in the U.A.E. reason for leaving them is that I can’t bear my wife’s attitude (always argues and fights almost everyday) towards me and at the same time found better opportunity here in the U.A.E. Since I left them, I didn’t send any financial support. I told her many times to sell my car (which she took from me) back there so she’ll have money to spend since she only wants to raise funds so she can buy VISA for my sons nanny. Now she threatens to sue me for not giving her financial support. Is there any way I could be held liable (in case she sues me) since we both live outside our home country (Philippines)???
were annulled and i have 2 kids. 9 & 11 years old, boy & a girl. there was no financial support stated at the annulment decision because that time he was unemployed but now he manage his own business.he only give things he wants which are not necessary and pays for the tuition and im providing for the rest. my kids and I were living in my parents house and my parents are helping me in taking care of the kids.We asked him to give any amount but he said that its my responsibility as the mom to take care of the children and to give the daily needs because he was already paying for the tuition fee. when he gets mad with the kids he keeps on telling them not to ask anything to him which really hurts my kids feeling. my kids are smart and are aware about their rights and wants to file a case against their dad. Now i want to know if we will file a case, are we gonna win the battle?I just want to help my children.what should i do?please help

This is regarding the irregular financial support from the father of my child.We were not married but he acknowledged my child.He signed in the acknowledgement for paternity.We’re both seafarers on the same Company & agency.last year he stopped sending money for 3 months til I made a complain to OWWA.We had an agreement that he will send $300 monthly & he was complying to his responsibility for 8 months only but now he stopped sending money again since last August 2008.what is my assurance that he will continue again sending support to my child.I’m here now in the Phils.to have a medical treatment & have no income except the allowance that im receiving from my Company.He’s now on vacation since august 2008 but he didnt even call us.I am demanding a regular support for my childs immediate needs esp.now that I cant work abroad yet because Im still under medications.I’m afraid that he might not comply again to send his support to his 2 & a half old child esp.that he is leaving soon this October 2008 for overseas employment.What are the possible things I should do?Hoping that you could help me with this problem.What should I do?Thanks so much & More power!

Good day Atty. Fred.
i am asking for ur help regarding my husband who is new york right now. things didnt go well since his been there living for almost 5 years straight. we talked sometimes before but now there’s no way of talking to him unless i called in his office where he works. my problem is about his monthly support to our kids. we have 2 kids. my eldest is 10 and the youngest is 8 yo. they are both studying in a well known school here. i just graduated last year and i dont have any work as of now. his only giving $500 monthly for the kids . always late and never on time. he has been promoted to his current job since last year and later find out that his been living with gf there. my question is .. how can i apply for child support here since his in USA. I think that my kids deserve more. i dont want to experience begging and asking him every month for the allowance. is $500 too much for the 2 kids? actually, i dont want our situation to be like this but he pushes me to become one.. he ignores my calls..ignores my kids need/.. he didnt even call them! i am asking for any help you can give me.. all i want is to give him a lesson.. that his children should be his priority. please..please.. if you can refer me to any legal counselor who has access in the US immigration if thats where i am supposed to file my case..i am really grateful..
my kids will sure have a brighter future towards them.
It is my understanding that child support between Philippines & USA is not enforceable due to no treaty between the two nations. USA would be willing however, the Philippines will not reciprocate the same law for those who may decide to leave their family in USA and head to the Philippines to avoid paying ordered child support.
hmmm. the problem is : 500 $ is to much . maybe u need to say thank u to your ex coz hes very good person .normally he need to sent u 300 $ monthly for two kids.
hi.. Atty Fred, weve been married for 6years now..and we both have a work now.2 years of that he has no work and im the one support all the needs of our family including my pregnancy deliveries for my 2 kids and im Ceasarian Section.The catch here we live in the same roof with he’s mother and my mother in law also has a work and the thing is all the expenses we live in a apartment is shared only by me and hes mother.He never give me any single penny coz he said he’s salary is minimum wage only. Our work is in sales so every month if we reached our quota we have incentives. But unfortunately he never declares it to me. I just want to know if i can sue him for not sharing the house expenses and not giving the right amount for he’s children. How much can i get from him? Is he can be jail for this case? Who can i talk to for this kind of case?
Do we have laws wherein the financial support would be automatically deducted from his Monthly salary? This is to make sure the child gets it every month, without me having to meet the father every now and then.
3. Can I seek for his financial support without having to go to a lawyer? I am avoiding conflict with him that might affect our relationship with the kid in the future. How bout a DEMAND LetTer? What is it and what legal claims should I put in there?
4. If I am going to file a case, what is the estimate expenses for all the fees I need to pay? What case should I file?

Good day, Atty.
I want to deal with the problem of my husband’s inconsistent financial support. He is working as a regular employee in a semi-government company.
We have 3 schooling children- 2 of which are in college. I have to text or call him to remind him of his support every 15th and 30th of the month. Inspite of my early advise, he fails to attend to his obligation and just leave to me how to solve the problem. I end up seeking personal loans and help from our relatives.
What document should I have to legalize the process of me requiring his salary to cover the necessary aupport of around P13,000/month?
Good Day Atty.,
I am a single mother and the father has a regular work, can I file a case regarding R.A. 9262 to the father of my child.
Please reply, thank you.

Hi! I’m curious to know what if it’s the other way around. my son lives with me he does not want to live with his mother. she’s a flight attendant and is out of the country 15 days or more a month. I asked for half of his schooling and she refused. i take care of everything, all i asked was for his school. what rights does my son have to get support from her? i make 40k a month she make’s 80 to 100K she says if he stays with her she wont ask for a cent. on my end i don’t mind giving for his school. she took him last june but he came back to me july and said he wants to stay with me and study in his old school so i put him back. he will be 8 years old this aug.
hi.. Atty Fred,
i know this is something confusing for everybody who will be reading this so i’ll put it this way.
H – husband
w – wife
E – ex girlfriend. went abroad without formal break-up with H.
However, she knows that H got married.
c – concubine,
F – Father of H
here we go.
May 2006 – H and W were married. H source of income is to drive their family’s public utility jeepney. W resigned from her work.
January 2007, the first baby was born. W shouldered almost all of the hospital bill.
April 2007, W went back to work because H income is not enough to support the growing need of the family.
June 2007 H and C had affairs. w keep on asking H about it because she heard rumors about it but H keep on denying until october 2007 when W knew about the relationship. H asked for forgiveness and promised in front of W’s family and so W forgives.
F is advising H to leave W for his personal reasons when in fact he agreed on H and W marriage.
January 2007, second baby was born premature d and stayed in the hospital for 14 days. W and family paid all the hospital bills except for 3,000 pesos which was borrowed from H sister.
june 2008 H decided to work abroad. W helped him financially. unfortunately he was not deployed because of the global economic crises. however, the agency promised to work on it but was not sure when he will be deployed.
December 2008, H was employed in transporting company. H seldom goes home for his reasons that his schedule is shifting and jeepneys are not available late in the evening when in fact he can ride on a taxi if he wishes. so he sleeps on his sisters apartment.
december 2008 E went home from abroad and meets H on his work. they then have communications via text messages which W incidentally reads on H cellphone.
W keep on asking H about E but H keep on denying that they have an affair with E. until one day w captured a cellphone from H owned by E with “i love you, where you” on the outbox with H sim card on the phone. W and H now have misunderstandings and quarrels. .
Late April 2009 H and W has great quarrels on phone calls and text messages. H no longer goes home. E regrets to talk to H in person. while F keep on advising H to leave W. H did not give any financial support to W and kids.
June 3, 2009 W incidentally meet E and they talk together in a nice way. W asked her about H and she said there was nothing about them but friendship. However, She acknowledge that they date together with H.
W and family asked H and family for a talk to possibly solve the worsening problem between W and H. However, only H’s mother appeared and told W’s family to postpone the talk because H and F are not available.
June 12 W and kids went out of town because W felt that there was really something going on between E and H.
W received only a few text messages from H. August when W received an sms from H saying he does not know how to call her and that was his latest txt message. no more communications after.
November when W heard the news that H and E are living together and that E is pregnant.
Late December, w called H and told him that she forgives him and E. and told H that she respects his decision.
January 26, F sends an sms to W that his willing to give allowances for the kids and told her to go home with the kids so they can talk the matters over.
February 9, W and kids went home. H and F knows about their arrival. still they did not make any action up to this date.
February 13 E gave birth to H son. meaning E is already pregnant when they talk with W on june 2008 and they already have affair when W and H has great quarrels.
Hope this one will be given an attention. W and family does not know what to do anymore. Hope you can help. It will be very much appreciated. Thank you.
1. Can W sue H and E? or will it be on an amicable settlement only? if so, what should we do first, and then next?
2. Can W seek for his financial support without having to go to a lawyer? Do we have laws wherein the financial support would be automatically deducted from his Monthly salary? This is to make sure the children gets it every month. or can W open an account under the kids name where H will deposit their allowances?
3. Can H use his real property like land or the family owned jeepney to give as his financial support to the kids and then no more monthly allowances?
4. If W is going to file a case, what is the estimate expenses for all the fees she needs to pay? What case should W file?
5. If on an amicable settlement only, what legal claims should W put in the agreement?
Thanks a lot sir.

Atty. Fred,
I would like to seek answer to my questions regarding the child support for my nephew..My cousin is really bothered about their situation rightnow..My cousin is 39 years old she filed an annulment complaint against her husband a year ago..The case is still on process..They separated when the child was still 5 years old and rightnow he’s already 18..Since before the father only gives a very little amount for the child and it’s not that consistent..All thne while when my cousin was still abroad she’s not demanding from the father because she can afford to raise their child alone..She went back in our country 5 years ago..Until now she doesnt have work..And their son is already in college so it needs a lot of financial support from the father..So the father told my cousin that the tuition of my nephew should be divided from both parents..How could my cousin supprot their child because she doesnt have a work..So to say, their son has ADHD and it’s really high maintenance..My cousin is the one spending for his medications and therapy since he was a kid..If her husband doesnt have a work she’s the one spending for the needs of their soon even school..But now she doesnt have income..Does my cousin deserve to demand from the father of a certain amount for their son?..Is the father liable to pay for the entire tuition of their son?.The father is earning about 150,000 or more NET every month..how much do u think would be the specific amount can he give for their son base on our law?..may i know the proportion of the financial support for the child base on his father’s income?..I think its a basic reality that the father should be the bread winner and he should be the one to shoulder the needs of his children regardless of the mother if she has an income or not..She had given everything to their son but it’s just that she doesnt work at all..It’s too expensive to send a college to an aeronautical school..I’m looking forward for your reply it would be a very big help for me..Thank you very much..More power & God bless you!.
Good day, Sir. I have a friend whose husband has an illegitimate daughter. The daughter was left to the father’s care since she (the daughter) was 1 year old. A letter of agreement was signed by the mother entrusting the child care and support to the father. He in turn had his sister and parents take care of the said daughter. Now that the daughter finished high school, my friend’s husband wants his daughter to live with them so that they can economize and that he can continue sending her to college. The daughter refused to do this and has now made her mom (my friend’s husband’s ex, now also married) make threats of filing an abandonment case.
Can the mother do this — file an abandonment case against the father, when in fact, it was the father who has been supporting the child most of the daughter’s life? My friend is amenable to support the illegitimate daughter of her husband up until she is 18 and does not want to do anything with her after that. Does my friend and her husband have the full backing of the law on this one?
Thank you so much in advance for whatever legal advise you can extend.
im married, we have two kids. because of alot of issues between us, alot has happened, i felt out of love for him, there’s hatred already.
He wants us to be together but unless i go with him (because for your info ever since we were married since 1999, we didnt live together as a family because of issues, i lived with my parents) he always threaten me not to give any financial support to my kids. when i worked also for abroad 4 yrs ago, for the first 2 1/2 years he didnt give any support to my kids unless i go back home, its just in my 3rd yr he gave certain amount to help me because i was the only one supporting my kids and my relatives who live at my parents house (my parents at that time are living at the states) and the fact he is earning more than me. Now that im back home at my parents house, he’s threatening me again if i dont live with him he will not support the kids again. we both know our relationship as husband and wife is irreconcilable already but still he demands us to be together.
what shall i do sir? can i deman for financial support from him even i dont want to live with him anymore?
good morning! I’M a 18 year old single-mom to my three month old child. My past boyfriend is the biological father of my son. He is 21 yrs.old and he have a job and I am just a student. Does my child have a right to ask for any financial support?And i got pregnant during 17 yrs.old. Do i have a right to file any case? and what is it.
hope you could help me. thank yo
situation: not married, has 3 children..not in a relationship anymore..
the mother of the children filed a case for financial support against the father…But then the father has no job yet..meaning no money to give to the child..would he be imprison? they have been separated because the mother hurts/battered the man..is there a law to protect battering against man??
Hi. I was just separated from my husband for more than three months now. I resigned from work for more than a year now which was a mutual decision for our child’s sake. He’s giving child support to our 4 year old daughter from three to four thousand Pesos every payday. I want to know is this amount appropriate since his monthly salary is nearly 45 thousand every month? He’s paying the monthly amortization of our condo which amounts to Php12,700, his sister who also stays with him shares Php3,000 monthly. Also are we entitled for the cash benefits he receives from his company like his 13th month pay, sick leave reimbursements and win-share bonus which amounts to a one month pay. If so, what is the percentage that he’s suppose to give us.
My other concern also is can I get back the money which he made me “abono” for our other bills and expenses in the house. This came from our daughter’s savings and from my SSS benefits, which is intended for the business I am planning to start upon my resignation. He promised that he’ll return them to us, if not i would not have withdrawn them especially my daughter’s savings.
Lastly, can i file anything against him and the women he’s been involved with? Are sms enough proof to do so? Because he admitted all of his relationships with them thru sms.
I hope you can enlighten and help me on these matters.
Thank you so much and God bless.

Magandang araw po Attorney,
Ako ay OFW dito s Saudi naghiwalay po kami ng aking asawa dahil sa mga bagay na hindi namin napagkaka sunduan. Wala po kaming naging anak.Sya po ay Empleyado ng Gobyerno Nagsampa sya ng kaso sa PAO nung nakaraang taon at humingi ng sustento sa akin kada buwan na akin namang sinang ayunan. May nagbalita po sa akin na may kinakasama na siyang ibang lalaki, Ano po ang maari kong ikaso sakali na mabuntis sya ng kinakasama nya? at maari po ba na ihinto ang buwanang sustento kung sakali siya ay mabuntis?
Lubos po akong umaasa sa inyong tugon, Maraming salamat po!

KSA
first of all if she is able bodied and has the capacity to get a job there’s no reason for support from spouse unless certain conditions such as medical/physical/psychological aspects are concern,but otherwise she cannot force you to support her.
Is there a way to get a child support if the child is in US and the dad is in the Philippines earning somewhere between Php 80,000 – Php 100,000 per month? We migrated here 7 years ago because of a family petition. The son is in 4th year high school, 19 years old. He was held back because of their Middle School curriculum. So in 19 years, the money given by the biological father is $150, the material things given to her would amount to $1,000 to $2,500. Never thought of child support before, until he is about to go to college next year. College in US is more of a privilege than a right to education. Yeah, plenty of grants and scholarships are available, but they are not guaranteed.
The biological father has 5 cars, engages in car racing, frequently travels to US, Europe and Asia. At least 3 travels in a year, one in each of the continents mentioned.
Advice on this matter is highly appreciated.

Hi! I am soon-to-be solo parent by June, due date is on June 6. I am fighting for the right of my child. My ex boyfriend and I had a bad separation when he discovered that I was pregnant and he knew that he is the father. Right now, he denies that he is the father of my child. My questions are the following:
1. How to demand a paternity test where he can’t say no? like it is issued by a court
2. How to file a child support?
3. If he will give child support, does it mean my child will carry his last name?
I really need help because of I am serious in filing legal actions to this guy so he can’t get away with it. I am just fighting for the right of the my child.
Thank you.
pls. email our Senator Pia Cayetano, Senator Loren Legarda and Senator Francis Escudero.. to expedite the Senate Bill NO. 1338 this penalize Non-Payment of Child Suopport which is still pending up to know.
here is the billed filed by Sen Legarda.
PLS.. PASS..
Penalize Non-payment of Child Support
August 30, 2010
Senator Loren Legarda said that willful failure of a parent to pay child support should be punishable by Republic Act No. 7610 or the Special Protection of Children Against Child Abuse, Exploitation and Discrimination Act and Presidential Decree No. 603 as amended otherwise known as the Child and Youth Welfare Code.
Legarda filed Senate Bill No. 1338 to defend the right of the child.
The proposal is to include the willful failure to pay child support.
“Child support refers to any amount determined by a court judgement, decree or order to be due from a person for the support and maintenance of a child.”
Legarda’s bill provides that any person who willfully fails to pay child support shall be punished by prision correccional under the Revised Penal Code if such an obligation has remained unpaid for at least one year or has an outstanding amount due of Fifty Thousand Pesos (P50,000.00).
“A law punishing the willful failure to pay child support must therefore be enacted,” Legarda concluded.

Hi,
Had a few questions regarding child support in the Philippines and was wondering if anybody in your firm could help:
– Does child support end at age 21 in the Philippines? The age when a child is emancipated according to Title X in the THE CHILD AND YOUTH WELFARE CODE.
– Is there specific verbage in the law stating when one is free of the obligation to providing child support.
– Can a parent continue to request/demand child support for a child beyond the age of majority. If so, in what case(s).
I really don’t know if posting a reply here will give me any answers to my questions, but if not, it would be great if somebody could kindly direct me to resources where I may find my answers.
Kind Regards
Sir,
I have a three year old daughter and her father and I is not legally married. I would like to ask how much is the right amount that should be given for my daughter’s support. My ex partner is recently working in Saudi Arabia and just sending me about two thousand or three thousand a month. Me and my child is renting a small room for us. And i am worried because next year she will be in shool as nursery 1 and the amount he is providing us is not enough. And can i ask from DFA or OWWA for his address in case he will go home here in the philippines and comes back abroad without letting me know his location or in case he will not contact me anymore? what are my child’s rights?
Hi Atty,
I am a single mother, my daughter is 7 years old. 2 years ago my family had a huge financial crisis. I felt i had no choice but to ask my daughter’s father if she can stay with him just until i get back on my feet. He agreed, so our arrangement was my daughter stays with his family monday-friday(school days), then i pick her up friday night and bring her back monday morning in time for school. Everything was okay until he got married january this year and without my consent transferred my child to a school in northern luzon to live with him and his wife. I stopped myself from getting mad because i feared that if we end up fighting, he might not return my daughter and i have no idea where to find her. I asked him to bring my daughter back home as soon as the school year ends, and from then on i want the custody of my daughter again since i cannot bear her living so far away with people i barely know. (please note that he works abroad and is only in Philippines twice a year for a month each time). He agreed to this but when i said that i would need to ask him to pay for our child’s education he said he cannot. He would only be willing to give child support if my daughter will stay under his custody, meaning live with his wife even if he’s not in the country. What should i do?
thanks so much.
my boyfriend of 8 years is being chased by this girl who claims to have fathered her child when we broke up late last 2009. The girl told me they were not officially in a relationship but during that time they were seeing each other, she allegedly got pregnant. My boyfriend denies fathering her kid since the girl’s ex bf was his team-mate and they only broke up a week before they hook up and possible that she was already pregnant when something happened to them. Her kid was born August 15, 2010, full term baby, this is only possible if baby was “made” first week of November, ( as per my OB) that time, the girl and her now ex-bf were still together, The girl admits to have hooked up with my bf during her birthday which was November 30, and another time was during my boyfriend’s birthday which is Dec 6. Not matching the time table, apparently. Now the girl is harassing my boyfriend by going to his work and sending letters to their office. We demanded for a DNA test of her kid from her to prove that the baby is actually his’, but no DNA test results as of yet, but she still wont quit demanding child support for her baby. What can we do from here? we feel that this lady is harassing us and my boyfriend’s job is being affected. She constantly sends us text messages and emails and she just wont quit. We opted not to respond to it until she proves that her kid is really my boyfriend’s. Please help on how we could stop her from harassing us. We want to battle in a diplomatic manner and as to not to make situation any worst.
Hoping for your expert advise on this matter.
Thank you and Good Day.

Hello,
I am seeking your legal expertise in providing an open solution to a problem I have.
I am a responsible father of a young boy of 5 years. I am a british citizen and have a child with a flilipina lady. We were never married as she had never finalised her previous annulment. In the begining I provided financial and parental support for my son and her family. Now that we have broke up she is denying me my rights to see or communicate with my child. She has rejected me sending any support, gifts or any form of communication with her or my son.
I live abroad but am now married to another filipina and we have a daughter. I wish to communicate with my son and provide him with financial support so that he may have a good future, however his mother still habors ill will. I know I have joint custody rights as a father to see my son. How can I exercise them and also provide
him with the neccessary financial support if his mother is refusing to communicate? I thank you for your advice.
A responsible father
if you are declared as the father of the child on the birth certificate then you may file for visitation rights including providing support which is not a bad thing.otherwise the best option is to work out something with the mother.

I am wheng married to a man with 4 kids. i just want to know what to do because 2 kids of my husband is with us because the children wants to stay with us and the other 2 is with their mother, we are giving support to the 2 kids, since we heard and learn that the mother is living with another man a long time we just want to know if we can stop the monthly support that we are giving for the 2 child? i am the one who is really pressured about this matter… we can see that the monthly support is not the children who uses it but instead the whole family… hope you can help me asap.. thank you very much
ceasing support to the kids is not advisable since this is the father’s obligation to his children,but if this is the case you may recompute/adjust the amount of support based on just the children’s necessities,remember child support is shared with the mother as well.
dear sir’
gusto ko lang humingi ng advice kung pwede kaming ipagtabuyang mag-ina ng asawa ko sa bahay namin kung kami ay maghihiwalay..dati po kasi lagi kaming ipinagtatabuyan na umalis ng bahay namin ..suportahan na lang daw nya ang anak nya…ayaw ko pa dahil wala naman po kaming pupuntahan.
OFW po ang asawa ko at isang homosexual…tiniis ko po ng maraming taon ang ganitong situation namin…mas maraming pagkakataong nasa mga lalaki nya..para lamang di kami maghiwalay..mahal ko po sya kaya lang po nitong mga huling araw lalo po syang lumala pati kamag-anak ko, binabayaran para patulan sya…
maraming salamat po…

sir, I have a american husband married me, and decided he not gonna bring me to america, so we separated. Now its just me and the baby, of course good thing i have her passport and birth abroad, wich im hoping to beable to use my baby to get to america or some kind of american benefits. Also , u think i can get child support from him in dollars rather then peso’s. I believe its much better to get support from american because money is big, most Filipino guys here dont make enough money to me happy. I need big house and put her in the best schools, because for her to smart she need very expensive private school. Also i know he will get big social security, any way i can get a piece of that., im sorry to be so mean, should have bring me to america, instead of leave us behind. actually he is still here, but im only getting peso’s from him, i like to force him back to america so i can make better money on him. He also had another child by accident and now that may put a dent in the small 4k i get from him. Is there anyway i can get the money he gives the other lady for her child since i am the one that is married to him.
Also, even if we married how do i get a legal calculation of support from him. he claiming he having hard time giving me more money, because he has a baby to take care of, of course i told him that his problem not mines. So far only reason i am getting money is because he knows i can put him in Filipino jail and hold his passport, because i don’t get enough support and he had another baby with someone, which i want to sue him for, because it makes me sad or hurt in the heart. Anyways it dont take much to make me rich, and hardly cost him anything if he just go back to america. He also complaining he like to be able to hold and give father love to his kids, main reason he still here. But i believe if he truelly loves his kids he will go back and send lots of money. Here i only get 3 to 4k, but im sure if he in america i can atleast get maybe 50k a month, that be enough to get a house and private school, a drive for my child to school.
gd am sir,,sir ask ko po sana kung pano po ako makakapag file ng child support sa xbf ko,,hndi po kmi kasal but we have a 4month old baby,,he refuses to support d baby now that he found someone else,,nasa washington po sya dun po sya na assign,us army po,,last time po n ngbigay sya ng pera is july 16,2011 ,nagkahiwaly po kmi nung july 20 ,he said he want paternity test frst bago sya magbigay ulit ng pera s baby,,sir lumapit na po ako s pao sv po d dw cla na accept through abroad,pano po kya un,d ko po alam kung pano gagawin ko,,hope matulungan nyu po ako,,thnks
Good evening, i have 3 grandsons, from my eldest son, who are living with their mother. Today I received a demand notice from a lawyer citing this ruling saying the the extent of responsibility to support the illegitimate children is beyond the father and is upon the grandparents as well. While we continue to send our son to school, we help him support his eldest son by sending milk, diaper and vitamins as agreed. However, in the course of 4 years, the children became 3 and we are now being slapped financial support for the 3 children.
The notice gives us 30 days to reply and I do not know what to do.
atty Fred,
Good day. My husband and I are married for 7 years. We separated late last year. For 7years he didn’t get any job, or even tried to find a job since he didn’t finished college. He didn’t even want us to live separately with my mother in law. So I decided to return in my hometown together with my son, I found a job there.After a month or two, our common Friends were telling me that he is going out with someone and lived with her up to present. He only supported our son for 3 months, but right now he stopped supporting our child,knowing that he have already a job and he handles his own business. What would be the best way that I can do? thanks and god bless!
I have two kids with different father. My youngest son’s father was insisting me to be his partner again but he was a married man. My son carrying my surname not from his father because of not supporting us. But now he is always contacting me to see and date with him. All i think is he just wnat my body. But all i want is support from him for our son. He doesn’t want to support financially because i refuse to accept him again in my life. What would i do to push him to support my 4years old son. I texted him that if he dont want to support us much better not to exist in our life again. I need legal advice. All i want is financial support.
Hi,
I am a single mom to 2 yr old twins, their dad left us as soon as he knew I was expecting them, during their first yr we received no support at all as well as during my entire pregnancy, not even when I gave birth and the kids were named after me, because he never showed up. I have a high paying job and am not used to the kind of living that I experienced just because he wouldn’t bother to help, He started sending 4k a month during my kids’ first birthday and sent them extras during birthdays and holidays, I can provide for my kids but the thing is I want him to fulfill his full responsibility over them, so that I can give them the lifestyle that I want and am used to. I just think 4k per month is not enough for 2 kids because I am spending 10-15k a month on them alone. I wanted him to give me half of the expenses at the very least. I need help.
Hello Sir,
I would like to inquire as to what should be the monetary support that should be given to an illegitimate child. I have a 10yr. old daughter and the father of my daughter is working abroad. I just would like to have an idea how to go about filing a case so that my daughter will get the monthly support without fail and without excuses, though the father of my daughter is giving support I want him to give it regularly and on time with no excuse, because he always gives less than what we’ve talked about and always makes an excuse that he is in debt but knowing how extravagant he lives his life, this is not an excuse for me, I would like to know how much percent should be given to my daughter as per the salary that he is earning from his job abroad that’s all and how do I go about doing it legally and in writing so that he does not have anymore excuses whenever it’s time for him to give his monthly support until his obligation to my daughter is over.
The father of my daughter has two other children from his first wife, one who is 21 yrs. old already and one who is 16yrs. old this is just an additional detail just so you know the situation of the father of my daughter.
Please sir, I would really appreciate it very much if you can direct me to the department who can help me on this issue.
Please email me at belle_dg@yahoo.com
Thanks very much!
hi sir! good day.. I’m a single mom to a 3-year old kid.. I just want to ask if it’s still possible to file a legal demand to my son’s dad regarding the support for my son? He’s been irresponsible to my son since I was pregnant. Through all these years all he gave my son is a pair of pants, shirt and a shoe and after that nothing follows.. He even used us to his mom every time he’s borrowing from his parents.. and now he’s having the lifestyle as if he never had a son ir he’s never worrying about my son’s future..I tried to ask him for support but he even said that he already lost his job but the truth is that he didn’t.. I once asked somebody about my concern.. they told me that it’ll be hard for me to prove that he’s the father since i didn’t indicate him as the father of my child to his birth certificate.. would it still be possible to demand from him for my son? what am i suppose to do regarding that legal matter.. I hope you could help me with this.. if you could please answer all of my concerns kindly email me at joyceramos23@gmail.com..
thank you very much and God bless..

Hi, I’m a single mom and I need an advice regarding child support.
I would like to assert financial support from my son’s father but the thing is, we are not married.
>how much financial support should my son get from his father (legally)?
thanks 🙂
R.A. 9262 is a law that tries to protect women victims of violence, however, it can also be easily abused. Its liberal construction makes the courts overlook the constitutional rights of the respondent/accused to the “presumption of innocence,” “due process of law,” “equal protection of the laws,” and “the right to be heard by himself and of counsel.” The law is also vague on what the meaning of “appropriate support” is. The rights of the father is also often violated or overlooked in cases of allegations of violence against a woman, but there is no violence against the child or children. Not all women are saints and not all men are brutes, but a simple allegation of a woman of unproven “psychological violence” immediately entitles her to a temporary protective order that includes support even if she was the one who left the conjugal home without just cause. Under the laws, a spouse who left the conjugal home without any intention of returning is not entitled to support. Yet a respondent to a protective order can not even be heard to defend himself from an “inappropriate” award for support to his spouse who left the conjugal home. The human right to the equal protection of the laws must be upheld & protected.
hi attorney,

dear sir,
i’m a single parent of two boys 16 and 14 respectively. i work as a chambermaid in a hotel. my salary cannot suffice the needs of my children.
i separated with their father 10 years ago for reasons that he is drug dependent, a womanizer and immature.
i would like to ask your advice if are there legal actions available for me and my kids where we can ask for support.
my knowledge is that my ex whom i am not married is still drug dependent and jobless at this time.
is it poosible that his parents whom i know is well off can provide support?
do i need a lawyer if ever?
i am aware that his mother would never give anything even if she acknowledges her grandsons. me and her son lived for almost 8 years under my father’s care.
i wouldn’t have thought about this if i can manage our finances.
do i have something to fight for
thank you so much for your time.

Hi, I’m a wife of a american working here in Philippines. We have a 4 year old child. We separated our first year of marriage. I don’t love him any more, so i told him he will need to find another home. We already got the passport for the baby, so she american now. Anyway, he’s only been sending me 3k a month for a year, I was demanding for more money for her private schools, but he gives me the sad story, he cant afford it.I told him its his obligation and he has to support her private school, I want the best for her. So i noticed the violence against women children act, possible way for me to get more money from him. but he claims he not violent and he would file a counter lawsuit.
Can I also file for free, just wondering.

My helper is a single mother and she left her son in Sipalay City to work with us. She decided to let her parents get her son for better caring. Much to her surprise, the guardian is asking for monetary compensation from her or else she will not give her child to her parents. I am hoping that you can provide me an idea of what legal action we can take on this issue. Is it possible that my helper’s parents are the only ones to go there and take the kid since we are stiff in our budget for traveling.
Please advise.

Good day sir,
I’m Karla Gomez, mother of Kurt Carl G. Mangilinan. I would like to ask help from you regarding support for my son from his father, Paolo D. Mangilinan. He is currently working in Palm Beach Hotel in dubai since November 2011. But he does not like to give support for his son continuesly. We are not married, he is a womanizer, and everytime we fight does not give even small amount for his son. This January2012 he sent his son 3,800 pesos, Feb2012 8,000 pesos, april 7800pesos. And currently he is not reponding to my text messages through cp and yahoomail because we are not in good terms. He told me that is salary as a lifeguard in dubai is 20,000 every month. My son is 2 year old, turning 3 this coming December 2012. I am planning to send him in school this coming june 2012, but i am not sure regarding my budget. I am currently working as a ORLS/NEURO technician in a hospital here in Manila but my salary of 14,000 pesos every month does not fit my budget for daily living. I ask support from my mother everytime I don’t have money anymore. My co-worker told me regarding my right to ask financial support for my son in the company where his father is working right now because his father doesnt like to give support for his son.
Sir, what should I do to get support for my son from his father?
I badly need financial support for my son. Hoping you can help me. Please help me. Thank you very much! God bless!
My questions are:
What is the minimum period of time the wife can file an abandonment to his husband? An instance, husband just sent an amount support to his kids just 5 months ago. Is this ground for filing an abandonment by wife?
If a wife filed a petition to his husband which is an OFW, is there any reason to hold the husband in any point of exit in the philippines if he comes back? What does the husband will do any such situation?
Can wife force the husband to give support a declared amount to which wife knows the amount of salary that the husband recieving monthly by using an attorney?
Good day Atty.
I am 22 years old and has 2 kids with my previous partner. I got pregnant when I was still 16 and we lived together for more than 2 years. When I got pregnant with my second child he found another girl who caused our separation. He has not supported us since then. He wasn’t even the one who paid for the hospital bills when i delivered my 2 kids. now he is married and has another child, he wouldn’t tell if he had already found a job. he is a licensed engineer. he refuses to give support to my kids and whenever i would ask him or his family they would tell me to give my children to them. now i have found another man and is pregnant. he told me to give my children to them otherwise he would not support them. my eldest is in already in school. i have a job but still it would be much help if he would give support especially that the kids are growing older.
my questions would be:
1. how can i ask him to support my kids when every time i ask him he would threaten me to get my children especially now that i am pregnant with another man’s child?
2. can he get custody of the kids?
3. how can i demand support without seeking a lawyer?
4. can i ask protection for my children against him and his family who wants to get them away from me?
please help me….please send your reply to my e-mail shaida.duyogan@yahoo.com…thank you very much
hi!
I’m married with a 4-yearld son. I’d like to inquire about my husband who is working abroad. Last may 2010 he got home in the Philippines but he did not come home in our place, I just only got the info from his parents that he’s already here in the Phil. This June 2012, I found out that he has other woman and they have a 1 year old child, but my husband and the mother of his 1 year old child had already broke up, so the woman brought their child to bohol( the hometown of my husband) and left the child to my husband’s parents because the mother of the child had already found his new partner. Now, in Saudi he had again another woman I don’t know if they’re living together. Since Oct 2009 he no longer give us any financial support. Oct 2011 we we’re able to talk on the phone and he broke up with me, so I asked him, why? he just told me that if we live together I will just always get hurt and he said sorry, he cannot say straight to the point. I only realize why he broke up with me when I found out that he has a 1 year old child with his other woman.
Can I file a case against my husband and his present mistress? what case should I file? What should I do in order to get financial support from my husband, my son is already in kindergarten.
I hope you can help me. More power & God bless!
Thank you.

Hi,my friend emailed me and asking for advice.And I don’t know how to answer her…
here’s her message:
“I am 34 years old and I am sick.I don’t have a job.can I ask my father who has another family(who’s living in riches) to give me support until I can stand on my own again?”
Attorney tanong ko lang po! hanggang ilang taon ang child support? pwede pa po bang mag claim ang pinsan kong 21 years old na at meron na ring syang sariling asawa at anak? kung di na magbibigay ang ina nya dahil sa 21 na nga sya at lapastangan pa sa Tita ko na nag iisang nagtataguyod sa kanya ngunit inaabuso pa rin sya at ine emotional black mail pa na wala daw syang kwentang ina! pwede na bang hindi suportahan ng Tita ko ang anak nya na isa ng adult? kasi meron na rin pong sakit ang Tita ko tapos nangungunsumi pa sa anak nya walang ginawa kundi manumbat, pinapaaral naman sya pero puro pagbubulakbol tapos niloloko pa nila Tita ko na nag iisang sumusuporta sa kanila at nagagawa pa ng anak nyang magbisyo uminom at manigarilyo. At pinapagbantaan sya na irereklamo daw sya ng abandonement! eh 21 na nga po sya eh! nakagawa na nga sya ng bata asa pa rin sa ina! winawalanghiya at inaabuso pa rin nya pinagsasalita ng kung ano anong masasakit! Yung ama po ng pinsan ko walang ginastos ni singkong duling mula ng isilang sila dahil nga po walang trabaho drug addict pa at hindi naman sila iniintinding magkakapatid noong maliit pa sila! ngayong malaki na sila ina pa rin nila ang inaasahan tapos, ang Tita ko na super bait at puro tulong sa kanila ay sumuko na rin kasi sobra na po talaga sila eh at meron na pong karamdaman ang Tita ko na kapag hindi nila tinantanan ikamamatay nya dahil may sakit sya sa puso! Sya nga pala nakalimutan ko po banggitin American Citizen na po yung Tita ko at hindi sya dual Citizen kaya ayaw na nyang umuwi sa Pilipinas kasi puro pang bablackmail lang ang ginagawa ng pamilya nya sa Pilipinas. Meron pa po bang habol sila sa Tita ko na hindi naman dual Citizen?
Note! hindi na po dual nationality ang Tita ko! American Citizen na po sya gusto ko lang pong ma confirm kung may habol pa sa kanya ang batas ng Pilipinas. kasi sa US po hanggang 16 lang at maka claim na sila ng sarili nilang benefits para makapag patuloy ng pag aaral. so ang ikinalilito lang namin hindi na sya under Philippines jurisdiction pero sobrang tanga sa batas ng ina at anak ng Tita ko na 21 years old na at panay pa rin ang pamba black mail nila sa kanya! buti sana kung Phlippine passport holder pa sya tama po ba?
I know this is a silly question pero nagyayabang ang ina ng Tita ko na kaya raw nyang ipa deport ang Tita ko kahit di na sya Filipino citizen dahil nga American citizen na sya! pwede po ba yun?
Thanks in advance!
@ Zeezee you have to go to American Embassy as he is an American. The Philippines law cannot intervene. Since you broke the relationship you cannot expect him to be nice to you again! But for the sake of your child maybe the Amrican Embassy can help you! bring your child’s passport along with the birth certificate, your marriage certificate and anything that can be useful as a proof that you are married to him. I assumed he acknowledge and signed your chlid birth certificate right? That is what you have to do in order to claim some support for your child. Good luck! 😉
Hello Atty. I hope you can help me. I just need a lawyer’s advice. I want to sue my EX-BF. Can I use RA 9262 Psychological Violence against him? For the reasons at the time when he got me pregnant he wanted me to perform abortion. He bought Cytotec in Quiapo and gave it to me then every day (last year) he always text me to ask if I already took the medicine. He said, he can’t give his name to the child because he is already married. I had so much stress from that. I didn’t agree with him. He also told me he already have another case from his previous girlfriend and also have another son. For me to keep quiet he gave financial support though not enough for my baby’s needs. I even kept it secret to my parents until now about who the father of my child is. I don’t know how to tell them. Last May, I caught him having another affair and it gave me another stress. I was so depressed and it was only 3 months after I had given birth so I was still suffering from post natal depression. It lasted till August. I even helped him to fix his marriage because his wife caught him flirting with another woman. He was trying to make me believe that If I won’t help him I would be the one who will cause his family to be broken apart. I kept my silence but it was so hard that I wanted to tell the whole world about my situation. I wanted to tell my dad about it but I’m so afraid he’ll get HIGH Blood pressure if he finds out the truth. Not until last October, I read all his conversations here on FB and I was so shocked that aside from me there were still several women he had a relationship and continuously till now. I was so devastated and so much hurt. I didn’t know what to do my heart feels heavy and I feel the anguish till now. I called him after I found out, I told him I already know the truth but he denied it. I posted it here on FB because I feel like, I’m really going crazy and I don’t know how to deal with it and tell my parents. I sent messages to his siblings telling them I can’t really bare those nasty things that their brother is doing to me. (I met his family once that made me believe he was still single.) After that he called me and told me to fix things with him? I said: “What for?”, I just want him to recognize my baby. He said, how can he support my baby if I’m going to tell the truth to his family and even to my family. He also said, by doing that I would ruin his family. His sister even called me, and said please don’t message the wife of my brother… I was shocked because I didn’t even do that. I also received a text message from him telling me that I was the reason his life is ruined and his wife trying to kill herself. He even sent me an email telling me to wait for my KARMA. He was trying to make me the VILLAIN, where in fact my poor baby and I were the victims of his evil deeds. He just want to save himself. Please give me advice. Thanks a lot!
Hello Atty. I hope you can help me. I just need a lawyer’s advice. I want to sue my EX-BF, STEVEN QUEZADA QUIDES. Can I use RA 9262 Psychological Violence against him? For the reasons at the time when he got me pregnant he wanted me to perform abortion. He bought Cytotec in Quiapo and gave it to me then every day (last year) he always text me to ask if I already took the medicine. He said, he can’t give his name to the child because he is already married. I had so much stress from that. I didn’t agree with him. He also told me he already have another case from his previous girlfriend and also have another son. For me to keep quiet he gave financial support though not enough for my baby’s needs. I even kept it secret to my parents until now about who the father of my child is. I don’t know how to tell them. Last May, I caught him having another affair and it gave me another stress. I was so depressed and it was only 3 months after I had given birth so I was still suffering from post natal depression. It lasted till August. I even helped him to fix his marriage because his wife caught him flirting with another woman. He was trying to make me believe that If I won’t help him I would be the one who will cause his family to be broken apart. I kept my silence but it was so hard that I wanted to tell the whole world about my situation. I wanted to tell my dad about it but I’m so afraid he’ll get HIGH Blood pressure if he finds out the truth. Not until last October, I read all his conversations here on FB and I was so shocked that aside from me there were still several women he had a relationship and continuously till now. I was so devastated and so much hurt. I didn’t know what to do my heart feels heavy and I feel the anguish till now. I called him after I found out, I told him I already know the truth but he denied it. I posted it here on FB because I feel like, I’m really going crazy and I don’t know how to deal with it and tell my parents. I sent messages to his siblings telling them I can’t really bare those nasty things that their brother is doing to me. (I met his family once that made me believe he was still single.) After that he called me and told me to fix things with him? I said: “What for?”, I just want him to recognize my baby. He said, how can he support my baby if I’m going to tell the truth to his family and even to my family. He also said, by doing that I would ruin his family. His sister even called me, and said please don’t message the wife of my brother… I was shocked because I didn’t even do that. I also received a text message from him telling me that I was the reason his life is ruined and his wife trying to kill herself. He even sent me an email telling me to wait for my KARMA. He was trying to make me the VILLAIN, where in fact my poor baby and I were the victims of his evil deeds. He just want to save himself. Please give me advice. Thanks a lot!

Hi atty. I am in Canada and was married in the Philippines for 1 year before I left few years ago. Now my ex-wife is demanding that I give her money or help her get in Canada. I could try to get her a job here but that is very difficult kahit nga mga kapatid ko di ko mahanapan ng work dito. Ngayon po, pinadalhan nya ako ng letter galing sa OWWA Family na nang hihingi ng financial support, wala po kaming anak. Ano po ba ang mangyayari sa kasong ifinile nya? Criminal case po ba RA 9262 regarding sa economic abuse if yun nga po ang magiging kaso? Uusad po ba ang case kahit wala ako sa Pinas? Maraming salamat po.

Hi Attorney,
I would like to know if its possible to request for our HR/Accounting dept to deduct the amount of agreed child support from my husband’s salary? My company knows our situation and would like to know if this is possible. What do I need to do for him to strictly honor what we have agreed?
We’re separated, right now we’re working in the same company. We agreed that he will support my 3 kids. We made a written arrangement signed by both of us regarding the amount which he should deposit monthly in my account (as agreed) however he doesn’t follow the agreement. I have to collect personally which I despise because every time I collect we end up arguing as he doesn’t give the amount agreed. He has a concubine and 2 kids ages 3 & 2
I know he can afford to give the amount we agreed as I know how much he receive every payday plus he can maintain a car.
My point is, I just want him to prioritize the kids necessity over his necessity which I think is rightful.
I hope I can get your thought regarding my situation.
Thanks.
, i would like to ask for help regarding my situation right now, im a mother of a 5yrs old son and a 3 months old baby, me and my partner are live-in only, were not married., we have been abandoned, i want him to continue his support to us even if hes not with us anymore. i already accept that he abandoned me but i will not forgive him if he also abandoned his own daughter. what will i do?
i want to have a legal documents that written there that he must continue his obligation to us even if he already live to his new partner. obligation means, the child future including their education and food. hope you will help me with this, im also in shock right now but this is the only thing that i can do for my children.
Do we have laws wherein the financial support would be automatically deducted from his Monthly salary? This is to make sure the child gets it every month, without me having to meet the father every now and then.
3. Can I seek for his financial support without having to go to a lawyer? I am avoiding conflict with him that might affect our relationship with the kid in the future. How bout a DEMAND LetTer? What is it and what legal claims should I put in there?
4. If I am going to file a case, what is the estimate expenses for all the fees I need to pay? What case should I file?
i would gladly appreciate if you help me regarding this matter especially about the Demand Letter.
Hi Atty,
I was married Feb 2012. I am current working here in Saudi Arabia. I have a 8 month old daughter. I planning to leave my wife because i can’t bear with her attitude anymore. I am not comfortable with relationship anymore especially I am working abroad. My question is this, how much will i send for my monthly allotment for my daughter?
Will i win the custody of my daughter?
sir,
good eve, just like to ask.im about to get married to a man who has a 7 year old daughter.Can i know to what extent should he give for support and what should be covered in it?
thank you!
hi im a single mom with three kids…i have lived in partner before but he cheated on me last year…we are not together now but when he came back from singapore last july we talked about his support to my kids that he will give but since march up to now on this year he doesnt give any support…what will i do since he was now in singapore and he is working in other company now…all i want is support for my three kids who were still young…thank you and godbless
Good day sir! Let’s leave my name as jpj. I would like to consult my issue. Let me start with being a father of one. One of four of hers. Which I was not aware of before. It’s kind of confusing but let me rephrase it, she has four children, one is mine, the others, I was not aware of, before. She kept it from me. We are not married. We lived together for only two years. Can she sue me for Abandonment?
I can say I regularly give food as well as monetary support to her but with the set up, I really cannot say to where the support goes, is it to my child or not. At first, I did not care. As long as I was able to give and provide for my child. Now, she is asking for more, since two of her other kids are also studying.
Each child is of a different father, all of which I do not know the whereabouts. Sometimes, things get rough and I also have difficulties providing for my young. If I cannot give, she threatens to report me to the authorities. All my personal belongings are either sold or pawned. Do we have computation for monetary support?
I cannot take it anymore. One more thing, the fiscal as well as the public attorney’s office in their town is I believe a relative of hers. I have asked her to give the child to me but she insisted and stated that the child will stay with her. The problem is, she cannot provide any information to where she uses the monetary support that I was giving her. Maybe, and maybe, for the allowance of her other kids. Can she sue me for nonsupport?
I am starting not to think right. Maybe someday, I’ll just disappear and never be heard of. Any advise? Thank you and have a great day! God bless!
Hi,
Just want to know what happened to you case. Based on your statement that woman wants you to support her children from other men too.
I just hope you were able to get a good lawyer.
Regards,
sir may tanong po ako about sa child support, hindi po kasi kami sinusuportahan ng ama namin since 4 yrs old ako seaman po siya at kasal napo sa ibang babae mag 21 na po ako ngayon darating na october at ang kapatin ko po ay 19 college student po ako at hindi pa tapos may habol pa po ba kami sakanya?
Good day Sir/Ma’am!
I just wanna ask if what will be the possible cases that i must file against my father. We are 3 siblings, he left us since I am six years old. I am the eldest son. He left us together with my mother and my younger brother. He also took my youngest sister. My mother never did anything to get my younger sister back. I am already 21 years old. Untill now we never get any support coming from my father. Now that I found out that he got his own family now and they gol already a child. I am afraid that my younger sister there will also be abandon by him. Please help me, cause i dont know what case should i file against him.
Thank you.
Parents is the one who are responsible for their children. The parents must fill all the needs of a child especially in educational support,because children have rights to go to school.The needs of shelter,clothes, proper foods,moral support, financial support must give.

Hi, i just gave birth 6weeks ago, but a month before that me and my boyfriend broke up because he is physically abusive at times, has uncontrollable temper, abusive alcohol habit and cheated on me so many times. He is a an ex-army, an american and currently jobless but through the help of his family and by selling some of his belongings in US he was able to stay here for almost 4 months now by paying visa extensions every month. He is living with his friend after we broke up since i own the apartment and kicked him out. My concern is, is it possible to oblige him of child support cuz im currently jobless too and my savings is getting low, i had been the one paying/buying my necessities from the beginning of my pregnancy. Now that our child is here he is helping me in providing the child’s necessities because i have ti inform him everytime of what’s need to buy, but i am not comfortable with the arrangement since there are always random errands to do and i cant just text him everytime since the last time i was ignored. I want the best for my child and a monthly child support is a big assurance. Please help. TIA.
PS. Our child was named after him, and he threatened me many times to get our child from me through US laws, and even accused me that i am not right mentally which he used against me because he couldnt find e any wrongs, he is trying to be defensive.

Hello!
I have a child from a prior marriage, now annulled, and have a financial support agreement for my child with my ex-wife.
My child is now 23 years old, and my ex-wife has re-married.
My question is whether I have a legal right to terminate the financial support agreement with my ex-wife considering that she has re-married and since my child is now of legal age and has graduated from college already, in fact with a child already of his own.
I am happy to continue to provide reasonable financial assistance my child would need, but directly to him, but I also would want him to strive to work hard and learn to fend for his own needs.
Hope to receive your guidance on this. Thanks!

Hi Good day to you sir,
I would like to ask because my husband had relationship before i met him with the the girl working in a club, they separated before we got married but they have a child, according to my husband his not sure if he really a father of a child since the girl is working in a club. My concern now what if the girl will run after for financial support since my husband surname is being use of a child. She can sue my husband for being not supporting the child?
Looking forward to hear from you sir.
Thank you.
Good Day…I just want to know the right of a child if his parents cannot support him.Is there a law that the sisters or brothers of his parents are the ones who will support the child it the parents are unable?thank you so much!
Don’t think any family member has any duty to support children other than their own.
I know that some help when they can, but I don’t think there is any law that say so.
How would you like if your brother steal something and you’re the one to go in jail ?

Hi,
I just want to ask if i can get a financial support to the father of my 3 children even the father is jobless but he already have new live in partner and a newly born child.how can i get support from them.
Good day.
Me and the mother of my child don’t get along when we are together. I provide sufficient financial support to our kid.
My inly concern is that she would not allow my daughter to go here alone. Everytime my daughter is here, she would also stay in our house. I have also heard somethings from my daughter that “my father does not love me”. So i asked here where did she get that information. She immediately replied, from MaMa. I was painful to hear that from my kid.
Is there a posibility for me to file a case against here the mother of my child. She is trying to brainwash our kid. I would also want to know if i can ask for the right to have my daughter stay in our house everyweekend w/o here statung in our house. My daughter is only 5years of age.
Please help me.
hi, i would like to ask if there is any law that prohibits the elder sister (early 30’s) to decide for her younger sibling (19.y.o) of legal age and sound mind. Thank you.
Hi,
Just want to ask something regarding the paternal support.
What do we have to do if this is the case —
Financial Support received from Father:
– TWO Legitimate children = 15,000 per month
– TWO Illegitimate children from mistress#1 = 20,000 per month
– ONE Illegitimate child from mistress#2 = 22,000 per month.
I am a legitimate child.
I am trying to do part time job to sustain my college degree.
The support is enough.
But after learning about the support that my father’s other children are receiving,
I thought I have more rights and I can do something about this.
Can you recommend what are the steps that I have to do?
(Yes this is funny, because normally it’s the illegitimate children who are running after the “fair” amount of Support)
Your response is highly appreciated.
Thank You,

Greetings Atty.
I have a mistress and she is pregnant. May I ask what are my legal obligations to her. I know for a fact that I have obligations to the child she have in her womb, but do i need to support all her financial needs because she had no work? She was unemployed because of her pregnancy. Since then i support all her needs like dwelling, food , house utilities and hospital check-up. Also how much is necessary amount that i should give to her?
I would like to inquire if I can require my husband to give monthly financial support to our 2-year old son.
We were married in 2012 but May this year, he decided to separate with me. Our marriage is still legal as we havent filed for annulment. I have no solid proof that he has a mistress. I only want to compel him to support our son. He is earning twice as much as what I earn. But he said he will not pay support unless I let him borrow our son.
I let him visit our son in my father’s home (where my son and I currently reside). But I dont allow him to take him anywhere without me. This is because he always threaten me that he will take my son away from me. I have his text messages to prove this.
Now, he doesnt give any financial support despite him earning much more than me. I would like to know the process for me to legally demand that he give monetary support or in kind to our son.
Thank you.

Atty, my concern with regard to my husband who just arrived at Saudi Arabia last July 2014. The first few months, he said he is unable to send enough money to support my son since he needs to settle all the debts that he owed to his mom.
But up to now? I only received 3500/month. He told me my parents should try to help with regard to the needs of my son. His beneficiary is his mom instead of me even if I am his legal wife and we got separated two years ago.
Now, he always sends money to his mom for the tuition fee. And for our allowance which is deposited by his mom every month which is Php 3,500.
For the transportation alone going to my son’s school can’t even suffice the amount given.
My only concern now Atty, how much should the allotment be for my son that would let us survive every month? Php 3,500 is never enough.
Is there any way that the allotment should be given directly to me instead of giving it to his mom?
I would appreciate if you can help me. Thank you.

Hi Atty. Fred,
Greetings! I would just like to ask, my dad and my mom are legally married but they are still not annulled, my dad sometimes does not give child support regularly. He swears at my mom when she is asking for child support. I would like to know what case can my family file to him? Thanks!!
Hi,
I am a single mother. I was separated from the father of my child last February of this year. We were separated only for a month and he already has another girl pregnant. Though I know that I would be able to support my child based upon my own salary. It is still a responsibility of the father of the child to provide him support right?? How would I be able to start on getting the support from him??
Would getting a solo parent ID affect the child support that I would require??
Hi Atty. Fred,
Good day! I would just like to ask about the steps I could do to file for a financial support from my husband. He is providing support for our son however,does not compensate the expenses of our kid. He is getting 45k a month and only giving 3,500-4000php for our son and that obly covers the basic needs such as the milk and diapers. He does not even pay for the therapy or clinical exams.
Please help. Your response would be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Good day po attorney:
My wife and I marriage was lasted only for 3 months dahil nahuli nga akong may affair sa ibang lalaki, Yes, im gay at alam nya po un since we got married and i thought she could embraced it but she didn’t. Kaya po umalis sya sa bahay namin and we don’t see anymore since then. I gave her financial support since i am an OFW but it’s been almost two years now and said wala pa rin syang work and seems like the financial support i give her makes her more relax kaya po i stopped the support. Can she really ask for financial support kahit hindi naman po naco-consumate yung marriage namin since 3 months lang nag-last yung marriage namin? Pls kindly help po on what we can further do. Thank you very much in advance.

Hello sir,
My baby’s father is australian citizen who’s now residing in another asian country he is not giving financial support to his child. He signed the birth certificate of our child and my child is carrying his last name would it be possible to get regular child support from him thru australian embassy?
hi i would like to hide my name. by the way i’m now 6 months pregnant. when I informed my boyfriend regarding my situation, at first he doesn’t know what to do.We haven’t seen each other since I told him that i was pregnant. But we keep texting only, he doesn’t answer my phone calls. during that time i was so depress and until now. then i found out that he was with his past live in partner. Actually he was my ex boyfriend when i was in college and our relationship ended. 5 years after, I got an friend request on fb and he’s the one. We’re having lots of conversation until our relationship reunites. He told me that he’s a single dad that time, so he asked me if he had chances. so i accept it. weeks after that i told him that i was pregnant, a text messages received from him that he wants to abort my baby. he blocked me on facebook. A month after I message his live in partner a print screen of our conversation regarding my situation, then she replied on me that he was not sure if he’s the father of my baby. When i read her statement i’m badly embarrased and emotionally stressed. Then I’ll file a case to him a RA9262. Hoping to have an actions for those people who take advantage

I’m avy,the eldest of three abandoned kids(15,11,and 9) for four years. our father left for dubai when I turned one and was only with us for a week or two, after two or three years of absence.only my mom and lola took care of us coz my dad was irregularly giving us support eversince.these past four years was the worst because he didn’t even texted or called us,giving us no inkling if he still exists.we were left without any support from him,leaving my mom to use all her means to keep us afloat.she sold all her possessions to send us to school and pay the unsettled loans and bills left by my dad.my mom suffered from anxiety(almost deppression)for a year or two. i was the head of the family because her judgment was clouded at that time. she found someone to depend on (emotionally) and they had a lovechild but they separated after a year. now my dad is using that to blackmail us. he said if we don’t go with him,he will sue my mom of adultery.
–
i’d like to know if we, the kids and my mom, have the right to file for abandonment?
–
what are our chances of being with our mom,legally? we don’t want to go with him permanently,but vacations are fine.
–
how can we get support from him regularly?before,he just promises he’ll send us our allowance,but in vain, my mom ends up providing for us, instead of him.
–
how much financial support is legally ours to demand? he worked as a purchasing manager and earned a hefty 50,000 pesos monthly, four years ago, and has regularly supported his parents, siblings and nieces/nephews in their hometown, while he sent us not even a centavo.
pls. help me, I don’t know what to do with my siblings.They’re also confused right now.
Hi. I’d like to file a case of RA9262 against my Ex-bf. Im almost 8 months pregnant now. He had threatened me, destroyed my tablet, kicked my electric fan, and threatening to deny financial support. He kept on saying to support the child to other people though. We had an affidavit signed in PAO but he’s not honoring it. In the affidavit, his atm is with me to make sure I get the 50% of his net salary for financial support after our child is born. Right now, we’re sharing 50-50 or half of the expenses for the prenatal. I’m doubtful they will pay half for the delivery and he’s making his owns to try to get his atm back. Another affidavit he signed is the acknowledgement of his debt that I will get his payment per cut off and the half of the expenses. This is getting me stress and I’m also having episodes of bleeding.
I’m a single parent, separated, with a 5-year old daughter and OFW. Husband and I got married on 2009 and separated 2010 (just a month before I left for overseas). Discovered that he cheated on me for 6 months for a younger girl on April 2010. I left Philippines for work while my daughter stayed in my father’s place. Cheater husband went back home to his father’s house. My child was left there while relatives look after her while I am working for living. Since the day we separated he visited our child for several times only without giving any support or whatsoever. I am working overseas and would like to get my daughter so we can be together. Due strict law in the country where I am now, they would like to have a father’s consent for me to bring our child.
My daughter is willing to migrate with me but her father wouldn’t allow. He doesn’t visit our daughter, doesn’t call in our home phone to check how my daughter is, he doesn’t give any penny to support my child for basic needs and schooling. I did not receive any help, support of any kind in any way. But the twist here is that he is holding my daughter’s freedom to migrate with me.
I could infer that he abandoned and neglected my child while living as single man and flirting with other girls.
Please give advise on how to win my daughter’s freedom so I can take my daughter overseas.
hi, I was a mother of 5 year old boy. I just want to seek help with regards to support for my child. I am working and my finances is not enough to cover all expenses. The father of my son is not giving any support for my son which I think is so unfair. I want to sue him for that. When I text him to ask for his support he merely ignored it even not answering my calls. I just want to make things clear out, I will do anything for my son to have a better future and to finish his studies even without her father’s support but her father will no longer have any rights under my son.
Is it possible since he was not giving any for my son?
Thank you and I hope that you will give me some sort of advice what to do.
Thanks
Sir,
Can a parent keep another parent from seeing their child when child support is not paid?
The parents are not legally married but living together have a two year old child. It was the mother who usually supports the child because the father would often lose his job. The father left his wife and child for more than one year. But at that time when he left his wife and kid he has a job. Lately he wanted to come back for his reason that he misses his child likewise he admitted that he lost his job again. He even confessed that he is no longer capable of raising a family but just wanted to visit and see his child every week.
We suspected that the main reason why he came back is for him to get financial support and shelter from his partner.
Can we keep this irresponsible father from seeing his child?
Atty. Fred,
Good Afternoon.
I just would like to ask whether I can file a criminal case against my former partner. We have a common child who is a year older right now, we are un married. I was five months pregnant to our child when he left for Manila to apply for work abroad, Tawain in specific. He was unable to sign the acknowledgement for our child in her birth certificate because he was in Manila when I gave birth. Now, he is in Taiwan and earning but he never gave any support to our daughter. He even borrowed money from me when he was in Manila and had promised me that he would pay me but then he never did and I found out that his already in a relationship to another woman in Taiwan, he even had some women pregnant when he was in Manila. Can I file for RA 9262?
Hi, i’m a mother of an eleven month old boy. I can no longer endure to live with my husband who has no work for almost 6 months now. He often verbally abused me since i was 2 months pregnant. Lately he is being physical that it causes hematoma marks on my arm. I am the only one who is working and supporting our family including my own mother right now. His jobless status is unknown to his family except his brother. There are many times that i want to tell his family about his bad treatment to me and my mother. Im just looking for the right timing. I don’t care about him anymore i just want to be separated from him ang get the full custody of my son. I don’t even need any assistance from him. Even financial assistance. I don’t need it. I can support my mother and my son now with him being present. I can suppport my son more without him. Please tell me the steps i need to get the full costody of my son and to be legally separated from him the cheaper way, if there is because im not rich. Even my family is not rich. I just have my son, my treasure. Thank you!
Dear sir,
i am separated (but not annulled) to my estranged wife for almost 10 years, i am supporting my 2 kids with regular monthly allowance, school allowance, tuition fees and school fees and their own house. now i have a new family (wife and daughter) and want to start a new life, i am sending financial support to my 3 kids in equal proportions. lately i received harassing threats from my “ex-wife” demanding 70% of my salary. she have tried to send demand letter to legal department of my company months ago but it was overturned. i only want to know how can i counter these harassment that i am receiving since i am supporting my children the best possible way i can and i know she will only use the money for her vices/partying and to pay loans that her family incurred.
thank you and i hope you can help me out with my problem.
Best regards,

We ended our relationship last 2012 dahil nahuli ko po may iba pa syang babae bukod sa amin ng Una nyang asawa. Ask ko lang po ilang percent sa salary nya dapat ibbgay nya sa anak ko. Hindi po kasi fix ang monthly allowance na pinapadala. We talked verbally na 15k monthly pero hindi nya po tinupad. Sometimes 9900 pero madalas 8900. Engineer po sya sa Saudi. Ano po pede nyo maiadvce..
Thank you
Hello,
Good day.
I’am Carie. Me and my husband are now estranged for five years. We were wed via Muslim rights and had a son who is now 12 years old. Our boy was diagnosed with Asperger syndrome , thus he is special.
My estranged husband is police official. Things started to crumble when he was assigned in the neighboring province of where he met someone. In the 7th year of being together he started a relationship with this girl and they lived as husband and wife without my knowledge until last year whom i saw them both with their second child. Even then my husband still denies her to me.
Years prior, my son’s support had been reduced. Days after the confrontation I had him in audience with a lawyer where he begged not to file any case and we just talk it over. We gave him the chance. Yet he never did what he promised. Worst this December the girl decided to have the support now in half which sends me in too much rage.
We had a chance to see my son and his dad last February and he insists that i should talk with the girl to agree on my son’s support which i find too absurd.
I’am just a ticking time bomb for he did something also to our marriage papers that may tantamount to filing fraud on his part.
I need a sound legal advise if this would be the right time to file him a case in court?
thank you so much.
carie

hi ,
I want to know how can I be protected as well as my 3 children for the resources and financial state of our family…our family is not financially overwhelming thus my husband had an affair and bear a child now the estranged mistress is asking for support …ok its her childs right and im ok with that..as long as me ang my three children will be supported too after all it is my legal right and my childrens right…what the other girl is doing is she state how much should her child would be receiving and demanding right away..what can i do to make it work..i believe as the legal wife i have this conjugal right to my husbands income as well as my children ..i accept the fact that my husband have to support the kid but should be in a way that wont interfere with my our needs..is that possible?
Charm, the general rule is that support should be based on the needs of the person to be supported (education, medicine, etc.) and the capacity of the person who is bound to give the support (source of income, presence of other persons to support, etc.).
Hi, I’m Dexter. 31 yr. old. my wife filed a child abandonment case. We’re married last 2011 but after our wedding we never consume the marriage because it was a shotgun wedding which is I don’t want to do because we’re just caught having sex by her sister so her family demanded for a wedding, and we don’t even have a romantic relationship back then. Now I want to know what are the solid proofs needed for her to prove that I abandon our child when honestly I took off abroad 2 months after the wedding and just this year 2015 I went home and I was surprised when I received a subpoena stating the case above. Please explain me further about this case, how to win, before I take legal actions. Thank you!

Hello im sabel ,,33 yrs old..i was 16 yrs old nong nakilala ko ang ama nga anak ko,at that time his 32 yrs old,nag-sama kame at ngka-anak kame, after 1 yr old na ang anak ko ngpa-alam lng siya na mg-apply nga abroad at mula noon naglaho cy na parang bula,,after few month bumalik siya sa amin at my kasama na ibang babae ,at pinakilala nya aswa,at mula noon umalis din ako sa amin pra hindi na ako mgpa-usapan pa kung ano nagyari, kc kahet ako hindi ko talaga alam kung ano nagawa ko sa kanya,, anyway mula noon ako na tumayo at ngtaguyod sa anak ko,, until now,, my daughter is 14 yrs old this july,,ng-abroad ako pra mabuhay ko anak ko,, at mabigyan nga buhay at mabuti ang pang-aaral nya..now last Feb. 2015 saka lang ako ngfile or ask ng-suporta sa kanya..pro dhil hndi cy nka prema sa birth certificate nga anak ko..ginamet nya na rason , ask cy nga Dna test,, at ibibigay ko na mn, ang ask ko lng ano mga legal rights nga anak ko? At pwde ba akp mgdimanda din sa kanya?
Sir, my dad hates us and over the years we had bad blood. I don’t want to dwell on the details but basically we are the illegitimate family and he doesn’t give us ample financial support. My dad is a lawyer. Does his denial to give us support (especially educational support) be enough grounds for us to kick him out of his profession? I believe as someone who talks about the law should practice what he preaches so can it be a strong factor to file a case against him?
Thank you so much. More power.

A blessed morning Attorney!
My husband was a OFW in 2005 and he seldom send financial support to our child
In 2009 i confirmed that he has other women from our friend, he return to the country in 2009 and with the request of our son i did try to fix our relationship and we had our 2nd child. After giving birth last January 2011 up to present he did not send any financial support to our kids. He seldom send monies, maybe once in a year.
I talked to him to share he send 1500 in certain month then he stops sending as he said his income is not enough.
This year the two kids will be both entering the school and with my minimum income i cannot support everything, from house rent, power consumption, water, meals and our children education.
Please help, if i can file a demand to him sent to his company HR to inform its company that he is not supporting his children and violating the law of having relationship with other women
Thank you so much
Appreciate your guidance

Hi i would like to ask coz its been five years i havnt registered my child due to some errors made from her baptismal. In the baptismal, it was mispelled by the secretary and that the surname taken was from the mothers however, now i want to get and file a certificate of live birth where i would like to use the fathers surname since she was acknowledged by him. And that the registrar wont allow it coz they require the baptismal and that was mispelled. It has been five years, i know i got a mistake but i want to straight it out. We already had each others family in which my daughter appears to be illegitimate. Please help me what to do.
My husband’s other woman is controlling my husband from seeing our two children. She also holds his salary and child support.
what is the proper way to deal with this kind of a woman?
Hi,
Please help me, I’m a single mother of a four year old child. Aside from being a breadwinner for my family I cannot bear the expenses anymore for myself. So I decided to go to the PAO and file for a child support case. My ex did not come to any of the hearings in the fiscal office and at the end it was dismiss. I filed for MR and it was dismiss again for lack of merit. I was puzzled as my ex did not give any proof that he was supporting my daughter and as of now he spend all of his cash on her gf and her gf’s son to another man. I have all the proof even a written agreement that he will give me support every month from their barangay. I don’t know what to do next as my daughter is going to school this year. Please help me.

Need help. My male cousin recently got separated from his partner. They have one child. For the past 3 years they have been living with my cousin’s parents, who’s supporting all their basic needs. Now that they parted ways, the girl kept on demanding for child support. Unfortunately, my cousin is jobless. He is currently looking for a job but the girl keeps on pressuring him for money. How can he give financial support when unable. Does the law make him a criminal?

My husband is a seafarer. He will be going onboard for his 1st international work. But lately, i found out that he was cheating on me again..w/ a girl related to his relatives also..but i guess on the other side..
They are seeing each other in manila for i am here in cebu. And he said he wants to leave me because he is jealous of my work as a floor manager in a japanese karaoke. In w/c of course some of them were giving me some stuff as their way of saying thank you for my pleasing welcome for them in our shop. He is making it a reason for always- but i am not seeing those guys outside of my working place. But in his case- he even posted on his fb account the pic of the girl and claimed as his girl friend. What can i do to punish him? How can i be secure of my rights on financial support hence he filed as single on his status? What are the favors for me? Since we dont have a kid. But i have 3 kids of my own and he has 1 kid of his own.

Hi, I’m a father.. my wife and I always fight (physically) I have one baby from her and she already has a child when we got married.. Now my wife will file a charges for me RA 9262 and she want me on jail but she want me to support them how can I support them if i’m in jail.. and what is my options on this kind of charges?
My husband has a child with another woman before we got married. The mother of the child filed a case about child support law. My husband regularly gives his monthly financial support to the mother and now out of a sudden she demanded for him to come to the court regarding child support law. My husband only earns 15k monthly which is exactly not enough for us especially now that I’m pregnant and about to give birth. Can you please explain to us what will happen then because the woman said that my husband might go to jail if he doesn’t come to the hearing. And what could possibly be the agreement especially now that we are only renting our house and will soon have a baby. His monthly salary wasn’t even enough for us, how much will they ask for him to give because we really have nothing. Thank you and i would really appreciate if someone replies.

Hi, Good Evening Atty. I have been married for 8 years. My husband agreed to provide child support however, I would like to clarify if we have an agreement that he will be providing child support does that make us legally separated? Does that mean he can already start having relationship outside of our marriage?
Thank you for your kind response.

Hi good day,
My son 31 yo legally married for a year and now has a 1 mo old baby.
His former common partner (they were separated 5 years ago) filed a 9262 case after my son asked consideration to temporarily stop his support to their now 7 yo child last year in preparation for his wedding. My son is an ordinary call center employee and has been supporting their child despite trying to live his own life with a meager salary an average of P4,000 to P6,000 per month. The ex would not hear of the request for the temporary non-support instead demanded for a higher monthly support of P8,000 to P10,000 monthly. The family of my son’s ex are very well-off, in fact they had a HongKong tour a year ago without the consent of my son. They can even afford a cochlear implant worth P2million for the child who has impairment in her hearing since childbirth.
Now that my son has a real family of his own with his wife working in the same call center, they would like to live a normal peaceful life. How can they with this kind of harassment from a bitter ex?
I would like to mention that when they were yet together, my son had many times came back home for reasons like, there was no food prepared for him when he comes home from work, he has to attend to their child even tho he needs to recharge from a whole night duty, when he got sick one time, he had to come home to me because nobody would take care of him.. I so pity my son. How many times did I tell him to go back and try to fix things between them, but finally when he got sick that when he said he wants to come home, i agreed.
Is P4,000 not enough? They want my son imprisoned because he left their daughter? They have been flaunting of new cars, travels, money…
Please help find justice for my son.
Thank you so much for your advice.. I will be waiting…

Good day attorney i have a son 3 years old his father is still single unmarried, his family disapproves our relationship because i am a married women separated with my husband 8 years ago but our separation was not legal, what are the rights of my son to his single, unmarried father?
I am a wife and a mother of four for 14 years now. I used to work and earn enough for the family while my husband earn less but it had never been an issue for me since we are a family. Therefore, never had I demanded from him to share for the expenses at home and with the kids. However, last year, I did quit my job for some reasons. I have received quite amount of money but it easily disappeared as it is the only source that we have. I do some part time jobs but not really enough to cover all our daily expenses. This week, I am zero balance so I asked my daughter to ask for their baon from their dad. Prior to this, we have seen her atm receipt and he has 10thousand in there so we were telling him to pay for the house rent, electric and water bills. My daughter had even made some drama just to persuade her father. As my daughter headed to school yesterday morning, my husband gave her 1 thousand bill and my daughter only gets 100 for her baon. I took the bill and try to find smaller bill from my purse to give her. My husband get the bill back from me and he gave 20 pesos bill to my daughter. He said to me “Mukha kang pera!” That made me so furious and I wanted to kill him. He even asked me to leave instead if I complain about money. How dare him to tell me that! For the past 14 years where I had a good job, never had I demanded from him. Even now that I am jobless, I never asked from him and my kids know all of these. They were the ones even complaining about the set-up that we have at home. I feel so abused! I wanted to take some legal actions and claim my right as a wife! I have been so passive about it before because I don’t want to have conflict. But this is too much! He, as the father of four growing and schooling kids should provide for them. Please help me how can I make some legal actions and force him to give finances for the family. I am ready for the consequences it may bring. Thank you!

Im planning to stay away from him and moved into another house so he cant bother us.. What will i do?? please advice me

Hi! Good PM po! I would like to ask po if what case can i file or what can i do to the father of my daughter to ask him to support our daughter financially. My daughter is now 3yrs. old, but the last time he gave support to us is when i gave birth to my daughter. After that he didn’t give anything. My child’s Last Name is under me, the time i gave birth he told me that he is in province to do some family matters. He’s already married but already living separately. During the time of my pregnancy, were not in good terms na and he already have girlfriend. Months after i gave birth, i cut all connections to him, i changed my cellphone no. Because his girlfriend is annoying me, from the time of my pregnancy up to months after i gave birth he can’t control his girlfriend. The only way i can communicate him is thru e-mail and thru his office contact no. Hope you can give me some advice on what to say to him if i’m going to write a letter or what case can i sue him. I’m going to wait for your reply po. Thank you.

I had another son from another woman that I married also but we are not in good terms and will be be separated. I know that the marriage was null and void but the first wife didn’t bother as she is married as well. I am earning 50k here in abroad. How much is the financial support I will give to my second child who is about to go to college this opening of June 2016. Is it my obligation to support her mother as well?
Thank you
Good day atty.
Ako po ay hiwalay sa asawa ngunit kasal. Hindi po kami magkasundo sa sustento dahil masyado po ako ginigipit. Paano po kung ang standard ng nirerequest ay napakataas. Tama po ba na ang kailangan lang ng bata or ang way of living na gusto ng nanay para sa bata ang susundin. Sa ngayon po wala ako stable na income. Nakalista po ang lahat ng kailangan ng bata pero napakataas ng hinihingi nya. Anu po ang maipapayo nyo sa akin. Para pong sinasadyang mangipit. Hindi po 50/50 ang usapan mas nakakalamang po kahit na sya ngayong ang may stable na trabaho.
To whom it may concern:
I am a Filipino mother whose child was fathered by an American citizen to whom I was never legally married; however, the child was legally recognized by his father (child’s birth certificate as proof). The situation requiring legal advice is as follows: my son’s father has stopped his weekly child support payments as of two months ago. As a result, we are facing eviction and always short of food and necessities. I require legal advice on how to proceed with a lawsuit to obtain not only the missed payment but make it legally binding through a Filipino-mandated court order for him to continue paying child support for as long as it is legally required. How do I proceed? What criminal sanctions or penalties for failure to provide support can be applied? Can he be prevented from visiting the Philippines? or arrested for not paying child support when he comes to visit the Philippines?
Moreover, I want to know how much it will cost to initiate the process to achieve the said valid court order mandating the support provisions.
Please advice as soon as humanly possible, I am tired of his verbal abuse and negligent behavior which has placed his child in unsafe and intolerable living conditions.
Thank you for your time and consideration, and expecting a quick reply from you.

Nag aaral po ang mga bata sa private school at nag rerent lang po kami ng apartment pero ung binibigay ng father nila ay kulang na kulang, humihiram lang po ako sa mga kapatid ko palagi. At nung last year enrollment po hindi sya nagbigay, nasa abroad po ang asawa ko at 40,000 ang sahod nya pero 7,000 lang po napupunta sa amin.May nakilala po akong lalaki at naka relasyon ko ng halos 2 taon pero nasa abroad din po siya, siya po ang nagbibigay ng mga kulang sa allowance namin, binigyan din po ako ng pera at hanggang ngayon e ginagamit p namin ng mga anak ko kahit hiwalay nakami ng naka relasyon ko.

Dear Sirs,
I would like to ask about the specific responsibility of parents to their unmarried children.
I have a brother in law who is over 50 years old and is still living with my father in law. He does not want to leave the house for he still think that it is my father in law’s (who by the way is almost 80 years old) responsibility to support him because he does not have a work (well he does not even exert effort to apply for work).
What I know of, the parents responsibility ends when they have fulfilled their obligation to support the children’s education and when they reached the legal age. Correct me if I’m wrong, but a father who is almost 80 years old has to support a 50 year old son ?
Does he really have the right to stay in the house ?
Please do enlighten us for my wife is really concern about my father in law.
Thanks.
Concern son in law

Hi,
This is just a consultation email. I am a single mom, Filipina, residing here in the Philippines. The father of my children was petitioned by his wife which is a resident of Montreal, Quebec. Canada.
We are not married but the father acknowledged paternity by signing on the birth certificate of my 2 year old son. My son is using his surname.
I just wanted to know if there are chances to seek child support even if he is already in Canada.
I am willing to file a child support case here in the Philippines.
Thank you so much.

A pleasant day to you Atty. My daughter is now 8 months, her father works in a call center. He’s a Team Manager there. He gives financial support to our daughter, but sometimes he don’t and complain of not having enough money. Just for me to know that he goes out of the country, but expensive alcoholic beverages, I don’t mind at all, I just want to make sure that there is enough for our child. He have 4 kids, my is the fourth, all different moms. He also give support with his first kid, the second and third are in the states, and he do not give support at all. I need an advise with this, I want to file a complaint against him so the court will be the one to ask an ample amount of support for my child, I’m tired of asking for the child support everyday and get nothing.
Gud day, I’m confident enough to share and take advice for what i suffered in my entire life. I’m with a relation of a single seaman ofw since 2008 and in 2011 we I got pregnant a baby girl. He insisted that he’s willing to support me. then, he got relation in other woman but he failed to sustain my daughter and im the one who support my daughter as a single mom. But last year 2015 before he leave her in the philippines he promised me again that he will give support and he did 8,000 a month and that’s what we called as my daughter’s allotte. Sad to say this month he cut it off even his contract is not yet over,he started to support last december 2015 to february 2016. But I’m fully destructed in myself because last august 2015 we have a secret intercourse which turn to my pregnancy. and now im 7months pregnant with complication and hes not even concern with it.
please give me an advice with this very complicated problem i’ve encountered.
thank you and god bless..
please help me what to do.

Hi
I would like to inquire if I my daughter has a right of financial support to his father who is currently working in Canada. The father of my child and I were not married. When we learned that i was pregnant (April 2009) he does not want me to pursue my pregnancy, he resigned from the company we were working (July2009) and that was the last time i saw him. When I gave birth (Jan 2010) I learned that he was already in Singapore. Heard nothing from him despite I went to his family and left my contact with them. Only last Jan 2014 he suddenly started to have communication with me and promise that he will support our daughter. June 2014 he transferred to Canada already. He was able to send money almost 50k from April 2014-February 2015 which i used for my daughter’s tuition fee but after February 2015 i no longer hear from him until now. I dont have any idea if he is still on a working visa o already with immigrant visa in Canada. Is there a way and right to demand a support for our daughter?
Hi

Hi Atty,
I wrote to ask a legal advise. I am married to a seaman almost 5 years ago and we have a child whose almost 2 years of age now. He left us when i was still pregnant with my daughter but he is supporting us 13K a month until the 5th month of my pregnancy. Then he stopped on the 6th months until I gave birth. He finished his contract Nov 2014 and out boarded a ship until October 2015. He showed up to us twice from December 2015 until April 2015 and given me only 2K last April 2015. From then on he had never give anything until I decided to sought out an advice from a lawyer and the law office sent him a letter of demand. He complied, and now he is giving 5K a month. However never had signed the compromise letter I sent him therefore there is no legal paper that may attest his support. It’s was just his own will and if in case he refuses to give I know I can’t get hold of it because there is no paper work. I know he is earning more and he can give more out of what is he giving today. Is there any percentage that I can demand from my husband? By the way another thing is, he is declaring a single status out of all his public documents. I even found out that he is declaring single in POEA every time he process his papers for working abroad. What could be the best action to do with regards to this?
Good eve atty.

Good day po
I’m a 16 yrs. old college student and I just want to ask po if ano po yung necessary evidences/papeles na kailangan to file a case against my dad na hindi na po ulit nag bibigay ng support.
When I was in my early age po kasi my mom is always providing everything.. Nung bago po ako grumaduate ng elementary, dun lang po siya nag paramdam ulit and his mom (my lola) told him na supportahan na ako. Yung support na yun ay consistent sa tuition but inconsistent sa allowance. Madalas din po na nag aaway kami ni daddy because pahirapan po talaga yung pag hingi minsan. Yung consistency niya sa tuition tumagal until 1st year 1st sem ng college. Now nasa 2nd sem na ako and wala na talaga. Hindi na siya macontact ulit and yun wala na atang pag-asa na magbibigay pa siya ulit.
Yung dad ko po pala ay nasa america ngayon and syempre kung inconsistent siya sa pag support, I also doubt na ipapa-petition niya ako
Good afternoon atty.
I want to help my mom, regarding my father’s salary and also his support for our family. He is currently working in saudi arabia as an engineer, and his been working abroad since 2012. We are 7 children, but my father is not supportive when it comes to our education. My father only sends us 50,000 monthly as our allotment. It is seriously not suffecient for all of us and my mom doesn’t have any idea of how much is my fathers salary.
What should we do so that my father would be honest to us and be supportive with our needs. Thank you sir!

A pleasant day Atty.,
I’m Dyan, a mother of a 3 year old daughter.
Would like to seek for an advice, I recently found out my husband having another woman and they have one kid. I confronted him, asking who was in the picture. Actually the picture includes him, the girl and a boy. he just answered me with “uo, anak na nako!”
I and my husband were married for 8 years, and I just found out this recently that he has a son. I suppose he visit every now and then to that girl with “there child”. I honestly have no clue that my husband can keep that to me for 8 years. All the while I was being chased and fooled by him.
Right now were in still in the same roof with no communication at all however, he doesn’t sleep beside us/ together with our daughter. He usually sleeps in the sala. In which my daughter asks me more often “why papa don’t sleep with us?”. I didn’t tell her yet the story about me and her papa coz I know there will be confusions on here mind if I’ll tell him.
What should I do to gain the support of my husband? I’m planning to leave the house coz I think that’s the best thing to do. Anyway. with or without us in that house he never support us financially.
I have a work and most of the expenses (water/rent/electric/other expenses) he wants to be equally shared between us. For the grocery, I used to spend it from my own pocket. For me being paid 5-6k it’s not enough or rather won’t survive me with all my expenses for the month that’s why I used to “utang” from my friends and comes the pay day, only few remains on my pocket.
Hope to hear from you on these matter.
Thank you.

Dear Atty Fred!
Good day!
My Fil-Am bf faked our marriage, he was once married to a Filipina from Davao and they still have a pending annulment case , in short our marriage is considered null and void. We have 2 sons , a 5 years and a 1 year old. Our relationship now just ended. And he only sends Php20k / monthly as his financial support for the two kids. That amount is not enough for the basic needs of the children especially now that my 5 years old boy will start going to school this year. The father is will turn 60 years old this coming 2018 and might retire from his job in the USA anytime soon. I want him to provide what is fare and what is due to my children. What is the best course of action should I take Atty? Should you have any further questions for clarifications you may email me at henzchris_ong@hotmail.com. Your response will surely help a lot in enlightening me. Thanks in advance and God Bless!

Hi
i am married with a police officer , year 2013 i had decided to separate with him for reason that i am a battered wife, from that year (2013) i did not ask for any money/support for our child.
Honestly i can raise my child alone but, napapaaisip din ako minsa karapatan din ng anak ko ng support nya…
what shall i do???
Dear Atty.Fred,
Im separated for almost 10 years now. We have 3 children and their father refused to support them from the beginning.Kids ages 5,4 and 2. When we separate and now 14,13 and 11 we just see him twice but we are the one visit him and he has already 2 child from other woman.I raised my kids alone and send them to school without any support from the father. And now maybe its time for me to force him to give support even just for their tuition fees,uniform and other school needs and am the one for the rest.
What should i do ? Please advice me and i really appreciate it.
Thank you Sir

I am married for 15 years. Me and my husband have 2 kids (both turning 8 &10). We are both employed, my husband decided to separate from us. Since our kids will be with me, how can i ask financial support from him. Dapat po ba hati ang support? Is it not right that the father should give support for his family? I learned of the 60/40 wherein 60% of his salary can be taken from him and the 40% will be his. Please advice po. Thank you very much
Hi Sir im a ofw in kuwait and got pregnant of american guy. Were not married and he refuse to give a support for our baby which is 4months old….i just want to ask were i can ask for help to seek for a legal support for my baby. Thank you and have a good day
Hi Atty. Fred,
My husband filed an annulment back in 2008 and I asked help from a lawyer friend to check its status, a decision has been made,our marriage was annulled Nov. 2015 but I have not received the finality yet. My ex hubby is an Army officer in the AFP with a rank of Lt. Col as of this writing. I filed a non-support case, Class E allotment was granted with an amount of 9500 pesos only for my 2 kids since Nov. 2009 up to the current time no increase was provided even if i have made formal request for it already. What is the best thing to do, my eldest is already in college and my youngest will be in Grade 10 already.
And I have another concern Atty., I heard from a very reliable source that my ex husband has plan of an early retirement. How can my children avail of his retirement benefits if in case he retires.Are they entitled? As to my understanding I am no longer entitled cause we are already annulled, what about my children, what steps shall be done so that they can get what is rightfully theirs.
My kids has been deprived of so many things from their father since the time we separated, so I want them to assert this time around and be given what they rightfully deserve.
Thanks so much for your help, God bless you more and more.!!
Sincerely,
Gracie

My father is a foreigner… we used to support us but all of a sudden he stopped doing so… now we live here in the Philippines… my mom was forced to work abroad again living me and my sister alone… I want to know if there is anyway to file a complaint about my father even if he is abroad… Dubai to be exact…
I am a single mom, my marriage to the father of my children is void and the declaration of nullification of Void marriage was finished. I have 2 daughters from him, one is 19 years old and the other one is 15 years old and I am working overseas to give good life and for the education of my children. Since when they are small they never had any financial support from their father only last 2011 he gave financial aid amounting to Php 6,000.00 for both of them until today. Can you give me an advice, do I have any legal rights to asked for the education, medical, clothing and other expenses which my children needed? Can I demand on that? Can I asked for the fixed amount each of them? and by the way he is also working overseas and earning sufficient amount. I hope you can help me and can give me some legal advises regarding this matter. Thank you.
Dear Sir,
I am a single mother to my 2 boys ages 10 and 12. I would like to ask about their father’s inconsistent child support. Last 2009 when we separated and I decided to go back here in Philippines. Their father is an Indian who currently works as a Manager for the same company I’be worked before. There are times when he does continuously provides his monthly support of 12,000 pesos which he said the maximum amount he can provide. I agreed to that as long as its continuous. But he most of the time fails to do that. I even have to text him to send the money and he won’t even reply. He even told me that he’s ready if I file a case against him and said that let the court provide the support he’ll be put in jail. He said his not afraid of that. He got married in his country and his parents and wife doesn’t know that our kids exist. I’m tired and pissed off with the way he has treated my kids. I only want to get what my kids deserve. I even have to beg when I asked for him to send money when kids got sick and even on their birthdays. Please advise if what necessary should I take.
Thank you and will be anticipating your response.

Hi!
Hi can I protect myself as a father to the financial support of my son if before they refuses/reject me. I want to be with my son before but they do not let me near at my son. The surname of my son is mine now, he was born on November 19,2012 but I register his birth certificate last Sept. 24, 2015 so late register. Verbally we talk with her(my son’s mother) parents that I will give a financial support as the basic needs of my son and they consider it. But now that I passed my Board examination and they force me to give much more and file a case against me. I’m with my new girlfriend and preparing for marriage and she is pregnant. How can I protect myself against them as a father?
Hello,
I’m still deciding if I should file an abandonment case against my wife who’s in qatar. She doesn’t send any money for the kids. I’m paying for everything. Then she’s also planning to try to take the kids from me. She always threatens to file a concubine case against me because I have some a woman or two. But I also caught her with her boyfriend also. So both of us are guilty of that.
My case is, she applied abroad, and got accepted after she got a plain ticket, that’s when she told me. Even though I told her not to go abroad because the kids need a mother. She prioritizes her career more than the kids. After she came back to visit, she took all her clothes out of the house we live with the kids and moved to her mom’s house. So she left the kids to go abroad and also left the house where the kids live.
After that she keeps threatening me to let the kids stay at her mom’s house, because they plan to let the kids live in the mom’s house so the mom can keep asking for money from her, and from me. She basically blackmailed me to sign an agreement to let the kids stay at her mom’s house for half the week. She said if I don’t sign it she’ll file a concubine case. But I learned that I actually have full custody of the kids as long as she’s abroad, and I have the right to file abandonment because she doesn’t provide financial support for the kids.
I can either wait for her to go here, and try to take my kids from me which we spend every day together. two boys, a 6 year old and a 2 year old.
OR I can file an abandonment case, and get full custody now while she’s working abroad, but I’ll be fair to let her spend time with the kids as long as she’s here. I’m always fair about that. I just don’t want the time to come when she’s abroad and I never see my kids, so they never see their mom or dad. Because of her.
My thing is I want whats best for the kids, which is I give them everything, and I’m here for them physically. She just wants revenge, because of her friends advice to get back at me for cheating. Her revenge includes making the kids suffer by not letting have a mom, or dad around. Even if she’s here she’ll be partying with her friends. She had two weeks vacation here and spent less than a week with the kids. Too busy with her friends even if she’s here.

Hi good day to you. I am a foreigner and trying to help a friend. She is pregnant with an illegitimate child. The father has agreed to help support if he gets a job!!!! He is supposedly looking for a job as a fork lift driver, unlikely in the short term. He is 25 years old and is supported by his parents. He has stopped answering her texts, so we can presume he is going to renege on his promise. How can she take a case against him for failing to provide support? Can his parents be required to contribute? Is his excuse cannot find a job sufficient cause to abandon his responsibilities?
I hope that you can give some advice on this
Thank you
Hi. I’m a single mother and would like to make an inquiry regarding child support. My twin daughters have already been abandoned by their father despite them asking for child support.

Thank you very much.

I am a single mom of a 6 month old baby. the father of my baby earned 28k every month as an it specialist however his financial support its just on and off and give me 1,500 in a whole month and its not enough to support my baby. and he threatened me that he will resign to his job for me not to file a case. Is there anyway that I can file a case to make sure his support will be mandated? and he is not visiting our baby for almost 3 months.

Hello,
I have been separated from my husband for almost 7 years now. I heard that he is now living my ex-cousin-in-law (the cause of our breakup). All those years, he had been avoiding us, changing his numbers, and blocking me. I asked for support several times already until I got tired. Now, I want to pursue this, I mean letting him support our child.
Currently, I don’t know his number. I don’t know his residence. All I know is that he is in Cebu while me and my child in Davao.
What is the first step I should do?
I would appreciate your reply.
Thank you very much.
Atty. I have a question. I’m legally married but me and my husband were separated for 5 years now. (but we’re not annulled) . Prior to our marriage, he has a an illegitimate child from his previous girlfriend. May I know how much support can I get from him, as he is saying that he still has another child to support aside from our daughter. He’s salary is almost 12k a month but my child needs approximately 6k per month from him. Is it possible for me to have that amount as he is saying that he can’t provide that amount. He can only give accordingly 4k a month as he needs to support as well his other child and his parents. We’re both working by the way. Can I file a case against him if my demand can’t be given? Hoping for your answer. Thank you

Good day Atty., I would like to ask about the situation of my child, she is now 11 yes. Old, and her father is a policeman. Her father didn’t support her since she was born, Only from time to time.he didn’t sign on her birth certificate and baptismal..but we are open to his family, sometimes we even slept in their house..but before she turns 2, her father got married and got 3 more children, he gaves money for my daughter 3 times a year, and it’s just a little for her needs..and now that she’s on the 7th grade, he told us that he will provide for her schooling, he even told us where school he wants for my child.but things went different when my daughter finishes salutatorian, just because she’s a scholar, we agreed that instead of the tuition fee, he will split it for her monthly allowance. But until now he didn’t keep his words, I am so tired for my daughter, begging for his attention and support..I want to know if what actions should I do, I also have a live-in partner now and 2 more children..I want to file for Child support, what should I do, he didn’t sign on our daughter’s birth certificate..I am hoping for your reply..thank you very much for your time…god bless! 🙂
Hi Hannah … It’s the same case with my wife . She also has a son and during her pregnancy and hospitalization he also didn’t sign the birth certificate, it’s left blank so there’s no fathers name indicated there. However we’re also trying to file for child support so he can provide his son for the past 18 years back pay. We were advised since there is no name we would have to get a DNA from the Father if he’s willing to cooperate, in this case it’s impossible. I hope you know where i’m getting at. Something like this is tough with no name on the Certification. Just saying God Bless and Good Luck To ya
Hello Sirs and Maam’s

Atty.,
I would like to seek legal advice with regards to my current situation. I have a 7 years old daughter and his father is a soldier in the Philippine Army who is currently assigned in Taguig. My daughter and I are residing with his parents in the province for almost 2 years already. Unfortunately, last month I found out the he is living with another woman in Taguig. Lately, his financial support is inconsistent. I would like to ask as to how can I get proper financial support for my child?
I am also planning to leave their house after the end of this school year so as to not affect my child’s studies. The last time we talked, he will not allow my child to be under my custody. What will I do?
I am hoping for your response soon.
Your help and advice is greatly appreciated.

hi.
currently my husband and i are experiencing rough times.
i have finally decided to end our marriage.
i’ve just went through the possible grounds for legal separation but none would apply to us….
yet these legalities can also be disregarded. we could just separate without any judicial order.
my problem now is the support for the kids… how can i initiate or what would be my proper action to ask for support from him for our three kids who’s 13, 9 and 3 respectively.

Good day! I am a single mther of 3 years old girl. Me and the father of my daughter are now separated and no longer have communications,I don’t know we’re he is working right now either. My daughter is using his family name,but until now he refuses to give a financial support of my child. I really need financially support for my daughter because she is a special child (cerebral palsy).
My question is:
1. How can I get a financial support for my daughter?
2. If I file a case against him, what case and how much it cost?
Please help me and give advise how should I start.
Hi.
I would just like to know the process of filing for child support for an illegitimate child.
Ex-boyfriend now has his own business which is doing pretty well, but only gives our child 50% of school expenses (roughly 30k as his share). No other support is given as to clothing, food, etc. I know this is not enough since I shoulder the other half of the tuition fee and all other expenses.
Thanks.
I have 2 kids of 7 and 3 years of age. Their father abandoned us for another girl and left me with all the responsibilities while he was living with his girlfriend and living a single life. I got so relieved reading this post, there should really be a law for this unfair treatment to single moms out there regardles of their stories. These irresponsible human beings should be obliged to support their children or go to jail. In that way, they’ll get their selves together and remember they have kids that they MADE and need to feed and live…
I am a working mom and I do have a 2 year old daughter and currently 4 months pregnant with our second child. We are not married as I have found out later that he has a wife already during our relationship just as my daughter was 6 mos old. He is a police officer with higher rank and he is in schooling right now for a higher position again. How can begin the process of filing for child support since my daughter’s surname is not his and there was no acknowledgement from him by papers that he owns the child but we both know the truth that he is the father as he was there with me since day one but as of now we on the rocks in terms of financial assistance from him as he always tells me that he has no money left as he has his own personal financial things to address to. As I have found out he now has another woman as his gf he is dating which I think affects his kind of support to his daughter.
Thank you.

Hello
Can you help me on this please? Because I’m so tired of my narcissistic mom whom I think violated her marriage with my father. And also violated me for hurting several times since I was a kid up until now that I’m pregnant.She had two sons with different man while still wed to my father. Until my father died she continued to be so manipulative and emotionally abusing me and my sister. My sister turned saying bad words so frequent. She always defends our half brothers and says we are the cause why she couldn’t give richly life to them and that she should’ve killed me and my sister a long time ago. What should I do?
Hi I don’t know how I can get advice in this forum; I am a mother of two kids age 12 and 3. I and my husband got separated last year. He was a Filipino and now British citizenship by naturalisation and living in Scotland. I live in Scotland as well with the settlement visa. My problem is how to get a regular financial support for the kids from him. We have a housing loan in the Philippines which I am paying this alone and I sending money back home as well for the two kids and their education my stranged husband just payed the tuition fee of my older son. And milk once a month for my younger.. It’s so exhausted for me to work and work and at the end of the month still negative because I payed to much tax as well.. I’ve already asked legal advice here in Scotland they can’t help me because the kids law in the Philippines Ang gagamitin para makakuha ng suportA Ang mga anak ko sa kanya even he is a British.. Please advice me what to do. Thank you …
My husband is in Las Vegas living with a Filipina for five years now. They are both out of status-TNT but still working under the table. He is not giving financial support for my 3 kids , not even calling us to know the needs. He is sending my kids tuition fee only through other person paying it directly in school.Is that considered support? What i want to know is how could i seek my freedom considering that he is not supporting me and my kids anymore for more than five years now? i don’t have enough money to file an annulment.. where can i seek assistance ?please help me.
gud pm, if the father financially supported his/her child for two year and failed to support for almost one year (12 consecutive months) can we considered non-support or insifficient support

hi attorney, i would like to ask if there’s a way that we can track my husband’s salary thru his monthly or yearly BIR ITR and be able to demand at least 50-70% of his salary as financial suport to our child? He refused to tell us about his employment and salary and even claimed that he’s not working though in reality he is working at a certain school but I don’t know the name of the school. Would there be a possibility that I can have the financial suport automatically deducted from his salary? and know his current salary and employment by retrieving the records of his ITR fromBIR? please help me…help us
A friend of mine was ousted by her husband from their home.eventually,they forged a memorandum of agreement where the husband who is a government employee agreed and consented for his employer to effect an automatic deduction of a portion of his salary in favor of the wife as spousal and child support.however,after executing the moa,the husband now refuses to comply.is the moa sufficient to have the employer automatically deduct from the husband’s salary?thank ypu

Good day. I came across this forum in my search of the Child Protection Act in the Philippines. I’m hoping to receive your advice on the applicability of R.A.9262 to a US born child with Filipino born unmarried parents. My son was born in 2001 in Honolulu to a then US Green card holder mother and a Filipino father. My son has lived with me always and I’ve had full custody. We are currently living in New York and have been here since 2007. Upon my request, my son’s father provided $500/month starting a only in August 2014 which goes towards my son’s college fund. Prior to that my son’s father has not provided any financial assistance. In December 2015, the monthly allowance stopped. What legal remedies does my son, who’s now 15, have? Thank you.

Good day Atty.
I want to consult you on our current situation right now. I have a partner who impregnated a woman 4 years ago. He did not acknowledge the child as his own or signed any documents that would tell that he is the father of the child. The woman just told him that he is the father of the child. Now this woman is seeking financial support for the child. The problem is, my partner doesn’tt have a job. we have a baby, and i am the only one working.
Does the request for financial support affects me? how will he support the child since he is jobless?
Hope you will reply… thank you and God bless!

Atty. I have to asked, I have a child his now 4yrs old, when I have him his father has a live in and had to kids with the girl, when I was pregnant with his baby was just giving 500 to 1000 a month that time when I give birth he gave 40k for my dilivery and after that he did not gave me I think that was month in half he didn’t gave me support, I was so emotionally drain with everything how to get milk for my son so I contacted him and he gave me 1000 a month by that time I didnt say anything cause in my mind maybe he’ll stop sending me for my child, but I keep on begging him to add more cause 1000 pesos would not be enough for diapers and milk in a month, I read some articles that if the father of the child has a work in a government agency you file for assignment to that by that time they are not yet married with his live in and I am still single too, he said that he will do that soon, I went abroad for me to be able to give the needa of my kids, Cause his 1000 could no longer supply all the child needs, by that time I ask him again to make my son his assignment but again he has a lot of alibis that he cant not yet do that, so I went home I married a foreigner, so now the thing is his giving me 2000 every month but sometimes he never gives any penny even, so now his going to tie the knot with his live in partner, so what should I do Atty. I want to have a legal agreement from him for the support for my child, I told him to make amy son on assignment but he said he’ll think about that, and one thing Atty. My child birth certificate doesn’t have his father name on it, do I have the right to ask support from him? Does my child entitled to have any thing he has to have?

Hi Attorney,
Just want to ask for some advise. I am married and I found out that my husband has a mistress and left our house with our 1 year old son. I allowed him to borrow our son once a week since he’s still the father provided that he will not bring my son to his mistress. But then a friend told me that they see posts in social media showing that my husband and my son is together with the mistress in a resort. My husband is not telling me the truth of my son’s whereabouts when he borrowed him. So knowing that, I told my husband that I will no longer allow him to borrow my son. And now that he no longer borrow’s my son, he also stopped his financial to us every month.
Can I still demand for his financial support to me and my son even if I no longer allow him to borrow my son? Are my reasons valid for not allowing him to borrow my son?
Hoping for your advise on this matter.
Thank you,
Cams

Good Day,
I’ve read this over and over and it seems like it applies to both fathers and mothers, yet the assumption is that legal action will be taken against fathers who don’t provided support. What about single fathers, like myself, who have had custody and provided for my child from the very beginning?
I am not married to my child’s mother, and have supported my child and even her mother. After my child turned 1 year old the mother left and never provided and type of support. Every once in a while she’ll show up demanding to take custody of our child since she is the mother. Yet when she does so she demands that I provide for all the expenses. She demands I give money and hand over all my child’s possessions to her. I give in to her demands, but usually after a week or so she returns the child to me, minus my child’s things that I gave her (supplies, clothes, toys, etc.). This cycle happens a few times a year. And also, when she demands to take custody of my child she does so at any time she wants, saying that since shes the mother she has the absolute rights. I have yet to spend a Christmas, New Years Eve, or even my child’s birthday since the mother always takes her during that time. Yet I have custody and provide for her approximately 350 days out of the year.
My child is now 3 years old and I enrolled her into school. I’m afraid that her mother will demand custody again and will pull her out of school (We live very far from each other). What are my rights as a single father when it comes to situations like this?
I’ll be will be eagerly waiting for your reply.
Good eve atty. I have a 1yr old daughter to my Australian bf..we are not married but were in processing our papers to live together in his place. But now i found out hes with someone and they live together in his house. I just want my child rights and i want to know what should i do? Can u give me some advise? Thank u
HI Atty,
Good day! I just want to ask a few things regarding financial support. We are married, my 17 yr old son is a legitimate son of him, when we decided to go on separate ways because of being a battered wife, we had an agreement that he will be supporting my son for 600 pesos per month and that was way back 2003 or 2004 I think. That agreement was also signed by a lawyer from the PAO, but the thing is, he just gave my son that small amount twice. And I still have the said agreement on hand. And knowing that he already got 2 kids from a different woman. Can I file a case against him? What would that be? And all the years that he didn’t supported my son, can I still ask him to give it to my son? And also, he is a regular employee so I believe he is capable of providing support for his son, and what would be the computation for that? My son is now on the 10th grade, next school year, he’ll be a senior high student which would really cost me a lot of money. Can I file a case regarding R.A. 9262?
Hoping for your quick response regarding this matter.
Thanks and more power to you.

Good day po. I need an advice po. Me and the father of my daughter had been separated for 3years and our daughter are turning 7years old next year . But my daughter was in the custody of the father. My problem now is I gusto ko makasama ang daughter ko for every holidays but the father and my ex family won’t allow my daughter to come with me and see me. I still have my right since I am the mother. I broke up with my ex because of his attitude and he is always drunk. He also beat me when he got drunk. What should I do Your answers and suggestions will be highly appreciated. I really need it. Thanks

im married and blessed with a son. unfortunately after 3 years of married our relationship doesn’t work so my husband leave us. I have work and so with my husbad but the problem is he is not giving a monthly financial support for my son. he just send money during the 4th birthday of my son and the next 2 succeeding month’s after the birthday and nothing follows. I keep on asking for child support again but he just keep on telling me that he has still lots of bills to pay. I even called him and suggest that since he is not giving a monthly financial support why not apply or open any educational plan for my son but then again I haven’t received any positive response and he even end the call. can you please help me or fo you have any suggestions for this? Im afraid my contract will end this year and it will be hard for me to do all the support for my son.

my husband have 1 children with other girl. the girl is filing a case against my husband because she is asking for financial support. my husband and that girl has an agreement that my husband will give 3000 monthly, but now my husband fails to give support because as of now he had no work. But he told the girl after he find job he will continue the support. But still the girl is demanding for the support, but the salary of my husband on his previous job sometimes is not enough to give support to them.
the girl will file a case against my husband, what can i do as a wife.. what are my rights? how can we fight that girl? I am the legal. Wife
So how much would I owe hypocritically every month if I had a child in the Philippines 1k pasos or 10k pasos
I would like to ask, what if the custody of illegitimate or ligitimate child remains to the father, can he ask for financial support from the mother too?
and i would also like to ask if the financial support to ligitimate or illegitimate child should be divided and shouldered equally by the parents or it should be shouldered by the father alone regardless of the custody or should be shouldered alone by the one who do not have the custody over the child?

Hi, Gusto ko po sana humingi ng payong legal, 40 yrs. old na po ako ngayon at simula ng ipinanganak ako hindi natustusan ng tunay kong ama ang aking pangangailangan. Sa madaling sabi iniwan nya ang responsibilidad nya sa amin ng kuya ko. Ngayon nandito sya sa Pilipinas for the first time in 40 yrs. He reached out to me last Nov, 2016. Tinanggap ko sya at naging maganda ang samahan namin hanggang sa nalaman ko na meron syang pinagaaral dito na 17 yrs. old. In just a few weeks na pagkakakilala nya sa bata pinag aaral na nya samantalang ako na tunay nyang anak hindi nya pinag aral. Kahit man lang ang mga anak ko na apo nya hindi nya pinag aral para sana makabawi sya sa pagkukulang nya sa akin. Ang tanong ko po maaari po ba ako maghabol ng sustento kahit 40 yrs old na ako at may stable job? Para nalang po sana sa mga apo nya. Thank you.

Good Day.. just want to ask what I should do to have the father of my child give financial support for my soon to be born baby?
I am 3months pregnant, and the father of my child doesn’t want to give financial support because he said he doesn’t want his real family to know that he impregnated me.
I didn’t know that he is married. He used a fake identity for 5 years now. And had girlfriends with that fake identity of his. I was the last girlfriend he had (because he promised his not going to do it anymore, so I’ll assume that I am the last)
I only found out about his real name thru one of his ex-girlfriend, but something had already happened between us the time I found out. After knowing that, I didn’t stop gathering information about his real identity, and that’s when I found out that he married. But still he kept denying it.
When I confirmed that I was 10 weeks pregnant, I told him about it. He said that he cannot be a father to my child and wanted me to abort it. That’s when he confessed that he is indeed married and doesn’t want his family to know about it.
He doesn’t want to give financial support, still forcing me to abort the baby. In short, he doesn’t want to have anything to do with our child.
What can I do? Please help..
So many kids in the same situation as mine. I was not married with the partner in Canada. He refuse to support our child who is in grade 11 now.

Hi there.. I am a legal wife of a seaman and he is just sending me 15k a month,, we have 2 kids,, twins,, they are 6 years old,, I cannot send them into a good school because of the remmitance that I received.. Me and my husband is not communicating anymore,, sometimes,, when he is in the Phils., he’s not sending us the 15k as he promised.. What should I do? Do I have the rights to ask for more than 15k per month so that I can give all the needs of our children.. Thanks a lot! More powers!
I have a friend, she got pregnant and as soon as the father knows about the pregnancy he refused to acknowledge the child.
Is there any legal action or what legal action the mother can do to force the father to support the child? They are not married. Is the mother has the right or basis to file a case against the father?

I just want to get what my kids deserve and of my rights as a wife. I also want to make sure that he will consistently give what my kids deserve. How much is the entitled claim for us. Tnx a lot po

Hello. I’m A single mother with a 15months old daughter. I’m writing here, because just like these people I need financial assistance in nurturing my child and myself. I was working in a BPO Company before but stopped due to my daughter. Was constantly looking for a homebased job but none works for me. I’ve heard that their is some Government Assistance Program for people just like my situation. Can’t work since I don’t have someone to take care of my child so I’m forced to stay at home and have flexible working hours but most companies don’t allow.

Hello atty,
Ako po ay isang OFW. Almost 3 years ko nang hindi nakikita anak ko(acknowledge). Yung nanay (hindi kami kasal)ay panay hingi sa akin ng suporta kahit nilayo nya sa akin at sa pamilya ko yung bata.. At dahil po akoy nagtratrabaho sa malayong lugar particularly sa barko, panay skandalo nya sa opisina (thru email at call sa president ng agency) kung hindi ako magbibigay ng suporta or kulang yung suportang binigay ko. Parang pangblackmail yung ginawa nya sa akin atty. At nung sa barko ako,wala akong nagawa kundi ang magbigay.. Tama ba desisyon ko atty? May karapatan ba akong maexempt sa pagbibigay ng suporta dahil hindi nila pinakita sa akin yung bata for almost 3 years? Sana po matulungan nyo ako.. salamat.

Good day sir!
I am a single mother to my one year old son. His father and I separated, I assume, last year. Frankly, I’m not sure when. That is how messed up our situation is. My I ask for an estimate how much his father should give. He’s a doctor and only wants to give 10k/month. That is a bit low since immunisations and medical emergencies almost cover half of it already. I don’t have a job, I am a stay at home mom. I have an online business but that cannot sustain my child’s needs.
Hoping to hear from you, Sir.
Thank you and more power!

I have a foreigner friend working as a seafarer and has a daughter with his exgf in the PH. He does recognized and signed the birth certificate and definitely never fail to send his support though there were times, but not often, that he sent it late due to some circumstances in the workplace. Since he is a foreigner, his ex is controlling him to send her $150.00 or higher every other week otherwise she’ll threaten him that she’ll be reporting to immigration and have him block listed or make just any allegation she can, since she know’s PH law is always on the side of women. At times, she’ll ask for more saying, the child sick or etc. Sad to say, we have a mindset that women are weak and should always be protected but on this scenario, it’s different and nothing new. A child of not even 2yo and is getting P16K to P17K in a month and not even in school yet. Now, she said she’s earning good as Mary Kay Director but I doubt it coz she’s caught embezzling just to reach that position and was removed. My friend paid everything just for her not to be imprisoned. In this way, she would want every single expenses be shouldered by the father since he’s a foreigner and her child deserves a well off life. Is there even a law or way to protect the father side for being taken advantage by this type of people? I hope to hear that men, especially foreigners whose always taken advantage can do something to protect themselves. Thank you
Hi , I am 10 years old and I am trying to reach out to my dad for him to assist me to pursue my studies in elementary school.i am grade 5 on june 2017.

Sir,
I just want to ask regarding how can i ask a financial support to my estranged husband for our 11 year ild daughter. I am working abroad for past 8 years until then he didn’t give any support. He even tried to get the custody of our child last 2013 but our child run away from him and went back to my parents house. Last year, i went home and talked to him about the financial support but he refuse saying that’s why i work abroad to support oir child needs. By the eay, she has a new wife and it’s pregnant. I just want to know what legal process i will do so He will support our child.

Hello po atty. Ako po at ang asawa ko ay parehong nagtatrabaho dito sa dubai, kaya lang po tuluyan ko na syang hiniwalayan dahil di parin sya huminto sa pambabae nya, ang problema ko po kahit nong nasa pinas pa ako di consistent yong pagpapadala nya, more than a year ko na po syang hiniwalayan at more than a year narin pong di sya nagbibigay ng supporta sa dalawa naming anak, marami po syang sinasabi na kesyo nasa poder ko ang mga bata bakit sya magbibigay ng supporta at may trabaho naman ako, ilang beses ko na ring pinaliwanag sa kanya na responsibilidad nyang supportahan ang mga anak namin.
Ngayon po nagbabakasyon sya sa pinas hinahayaan kung hiramin nya ang mga bata pero yong bunso naming anak na babae ayaw talagang sumama sa kanya, nagalit sya at pinagbantaan nya akong di nya isasauli ang anak kung panganay.
Ano po bang dapat kung gawin, lalong lalo ng nandito ako ngayon sa dubai at ang nag aalaga sa mga anak ko ay aking kapatid at nanay ko po. Gustong gusto ko po syang sampahan ng kaso dahil sa pagbabaliwala nya sa responsibilidad nya sa mga anak ko kahit sa pag aaral nito ayaw nyang magbigay. At hanggang ngayon po ay magkakasama sila ng kabit, marami po akong pruweba dahil pinopost nila sa FB mga litrato nilang magkasama kahit saan at kahit sa pagtulog nila.

Hello atty. I would just like to know if may laban po ba ako kahit walang trabaho ung tatay ng mga bata. I have two kids, under my custody, ung tatay po nila feeling binata at suportado ng magulang niya. I am receiving goods from them, not cash, like milk and pangbaon sa school. Ilang beses ko na po sinabihan ung tatay nila na maghanap ng work kasi hirap na hirap na po ako, lalo na dalawa na po silang mag aaral this coming June. Pero parang wala lang po sa kanya, 3 years na po kaming hiwalay, pero ganito pa rin po setup hanggang ngayon. May laban po ba ako pagdinala ko to sa korte?
Hello po attorney. Ang asawa ko po ay nagtatrabaho sa U. S since 2004. Unfortunately nalaman ko po na may Iba na sya pamilya dun at may 4 ng anak. Nakakapagpadala po nman sya sa mga anak ko (14 & 13 years old) pero Kun kailan lang po siguro sya magkaron ng extra. Kasal po kami. Is it possible po na makakuha Ako ng child support kahit na nasa US sya. Isa po syang lineman ng isang electric company sa New Jersey.
Dear Atty.
I am seperated from my wife since 2001. they live in my in laws house together with my 4 children who were still minors then. I admit that i am in fault for i am now with another woman. However, i never missed sending financial support for them since our separation not until 2010 when i lose my job, she filed a case against me but i was aquitted since i presented financial support evidences and and proved that i was un employed by then. However, i continue to support them when i found a new job until.
My question is, do i still need to continue the financial support even if my kids are not already minors now? In fact, they are all profeesionals now. Tge monthly support i am sending is only being used by their mother for herself because she is a gambler.
Hoping you will educate me Attt.
Thank you,

Hello Atty.
My partner has 2 kids (3 and 2 yo) with his xgf. The xgf doesn’t have work and filed VAWC against my partner even if he was financially supporting the kids. The kids are with the xgf. Now that their eldest will be going to school the xgf still doesnt want to provide financial assistance and rely solely on what my partner can give. How can we get the xgf to financially support as well?Is there any parental responsibilty law regarding financially supporting children? My partner is in financial difficulty and he couldn’t provide everything from miscellaneous to education of the children. I am just worried for my partner, since VAWC can be abused by mothers to get money from their ‘baby daddies’ and the xgf might use this against my partner.
Good day.
Ask ko lang po. My husband and I were separated for more than five years. This 2017 i found out na may anak na sya sa ibang babae but we are still married by law. Ever since hindi sya nagbibigay ng sustento sa bata. Last school year sya ang bumili ng school supplies ng bata. This school year sya din ang bumili and I told him na sya na ang magbayad sa service ng anak ko monthly.
I told him na magbigay din sya ng allowance monthly. But he refused. Ang sabi nya pang baon and pang bayad lang daw sa service ang ipo-provide nya. I told him na it is his responsibility na magbigay ng sustento monthly. He claimed na yun na raw yung sustento na ibibigay nya. Is it enough na po ba?
Thank you po.
Good day Atty.,
My ex is not giving any form of support to our daughter, though I have been extending efforts in communicating with him either text or call, always asking for support, but he always say that in order for him to support the child, he would rather get my daughter for himself. He said before, he doesn’t want to give financial support to the child because he said I would spend the money on other things. I don’t see any reason why he would think that if he gives financial support, I would spend it on other things because I have a well-paying job at a consulting firm, my stepdad works abroad, aside from that my mom and stepdad have a restaurant, we have our own house, and my sisters go to private schools. There was also an instance back in 2015 that he hid my daughter for 3 months, I called and texted him but I didn’t receive any response, he didn’t even let me talk to my child for 3 months (February 22 – May 25 2015) and he moved out from his father’s house during that time. He only gave me my daughter when I told him I would bring police to his father’s house. And after that, he didn’t support my daughter either financially or in kind. My concern now is this, is there any law that can help protect me and my daughter from his act of withdrawing child support for 2 years, and is there any law that can help me get the accumulated amount for the 2 years that he’s withdrawn his child support. He intends to get my daughter for himself. I would also like to go to any government agency but I am not sure where to go. I went to DSWD but they offered me assistance with settlement only. I can’t see any assurance they would help me using the law. Please help me.
Good day!
I am married to a soldier from Philippine Navy and we have 2 kids (13 and 11 yrs old). He only gives our children P5,000 only every month and can only get an addition for any emergency or additional financial needs. I tried to file a Child Support complaint in their office in Bonifacio Taguig but nothing happened. I just wanted to know what I need to do and what case I need to file against him so that we can get all the necessary support and benefits me and my kids needs.
Thank you.

Hi Atty,
I have a question on behalf of my friend who is the man. The illegitimate child is with the man’s parents (father) and the father has no stable income to support the child, the child is staying on the man’s parents so technically it’s the man’s parents supporting the basic needs of the child such as food and taking care of her and the mother is demanding financial support for her child, can the father refuse to support since he doesn’t have yet stable income?

Dear attorney
I’m separated for the past two yrs now I had my leave in partner unfortunately I got pregnant and the child die from then on the after of my 3children cut their allotment the office said they only following my husband because their just following orders from my husband.. 7months n po wala ako natatanggap n support Sa anak ko ano po ang gagawin ko please help me deete
Hello Sir,maybe you can help me. I am married to a filipina living the Philippines. We have two boys 4 and 14 months. Our expenses each month never exceed 40k php. The actual living expenses total less than 20k. I proposed paying support of 20k a month. Plus I will carry all of them,mother included on my Pacifc Cross and PhilHealth. She is demanding over 60k. She is capable of working, but admittedly is too lazy to work. (Her words,not mine) Is it not partially the responsibility of the mother to contribute to the financial needs of our children? I think 20k plus medical coverage is very generous. Will the court hold me in violation of insufficient support if I refuse her demands? Am I obligated to provide her a lavish lifestyle, one that we never enjoyed, even if I have the means?

Good pm atty,
i have a previous relationship, we are not married, we have two child, now 8 and 7 year old. i have a job at wala po siyang trabaho. umalis po siya sa puder ko dala ang mga bata pumunta ng davao 5 years go na mula ng umalis siya dala mga bata at di na muling bumalik sa puder ko habang ako ay nagtatrabaho dito sa cebu at nagpapadala ng sustento sa mga bata, siya naman po ay walang pinagkakakitaan kundi umaasa lamang sa padala ko. two months after nilang umalis sa puder ko sinabi niya na wala na daw kami, so mga bata nalang daw dapat asikasohin namin. we agreed on that naman po.
after five years, about 4 months now my nkilala po ako na babae at kami po ay magpapakasal na. nung nalaman ng ex ko na may bago na akong karelasyon, ginugulo niya po ako, sa social media at sa trabaho ko po, sinisiraan ako, sinabi ko po na hindi po ako magpapadala ng support sa mga bata kung hindi siya titigil, hindi po siya tumigil at maging hanggang nggyaon ay nangguguo pa rin siya. pati sa bago kung karelasyon ay nangugulo din siya. 2 months na po ako di nakapagpadala ng support sa mga bata attorney.

I am married to a man who previously has a live-in partner and they have a child. I would like to ask if on how much the mother of his child can demand on him.My husband income is not really enough to support our family, i am a working mom and we are helping each other (my husband) to provide our daily needs. Is the the mom of his illegitimate child can demand up to 50% of his income? Or to what extent that a mother of her child can demand? It is base on his gross income or it is base on my husband’s net income. Hope you can help.
Hi,
I’m asking for some guidance/advice. I have a male Filipino friend here in Angeles City with 4 children with an American woman who lives in America, he’s married to her in the Philippines tand she has abandoned him and their children and has gone back and married another man in the USA. She is not a Philippines citizen just USA . It’s a lot different because it’s usually the other way around . She’s never registered her kids as USA citizens and they should be. He gets no support from her and it just might be biligamy that she has gotten remarried without getting a divorce in the USA and now has more children there. They were married in the Philippines. Does anyone have suggestions or advice? Are there any pro bono Lawyers who might be interested. It seems he could get some social security at least for his kids or something. Thanks all. Past this on or PM me if you wish.
Dear Atty.
I have a daughter, but the father of my child didnt recognize her, he left me and hide when he knew that I got pregnant, now that our daughter is almost 2years old, I saw him and I ask for a financial support,, but he refuse to give, then I warned him that I will take it to the court, then the next day, he just give me a P590.00!
I felt so insulted and he’s the one who had guts to tell me that he will never going to support my daughter if I will pursue the case, because he said his salary as part timer is not enough and he was applying for the PNP, he also said that I have to wait until he got a job and have a savings, but for me this will take another years of waiting I also wrote to his parents seeking for help but nothing happened,, I just want to ask if where can I ask for help regarding of this matter without spending big amount of money, because I am the breadwinner of our family, and my salary as a sales lady is not enough, but I really want to take it to the court…
I hope, that you can help me.. thank you, & god bless
My father is working as an ofw driver, he is working there for almost 24 years. He work there since 1993 and that time hes sallary is 2000hkd so his allotment for his family was 5k(peso) in a month. But theres a policy that after 2 years of recontract his sallary getting bigger to 3000hkd then his upport for us was still 5,000 which is ok bec we are still young and his sallary is not enough. But until now the more he recontract evry 2 years the more his sallary getting bigger, last july 2017 his employer approvedhis monthly sallary of 12,000hkd and still my mom received 5,000 pesos in a month.. my question is, how can we get the full suport coming from his sallary bec his sallary is getting much higher than before. Is these still right thing for him to do to his family??? We have the right to get half of his sallary evry month. The world gtting more expensive and we can always have 5k in evry month. That against the law. We need to get an actuon about these,we have the right to get his half of sallary.. please help us what we need to do.
Aside from that, last June 2017 until august he didnt send his 5,000 allotment for us. He never send a money snce June up to august 2017 which is last month. He nver send us then he nver think that he give a small amount of his support then it comea that he never aend money for 3 months. How can we eat then? These ia not good. We are his legal family. We runs on his blood..please help us..

Hi Sir Fred,
Good Day.
I’m Mark of legal age at 26 years old, from Bukidnon, I have a live in partner a while ago ( not Married) and we have two kids, a boy (6 yrs old) and a girl (2 yrs old). All of my kids followed my SURNAME, and now, me and my live-in partner separated because of such reasons also with my kids, and now i’m alone and without stable job, and my past live in partner is requesting a support for our kids, so my concern is:
1. HOW MUCH MONEY I WILL SUPPORT TO MY (2) TWO KIDS?.
2. IS IT RIGHT THAT MY PAST LIVE IN PARTNER WILL FORCE ME TO SUPPORT THEM EVEN-THOUGH WE’RE NOT MARRIED?
3. CAN I GET MY KIDS AND LIVE WITH ME? BECAUSE MY KIDS IS ON HER SIDE.
4. AND WHAT IS THE MOST EXACT THING TO DO ON THIS KIND OF SITUATION?
THAT’S ALL SIR,
I HOPE I CAN READ YOUR REPLY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.. IT IS A GREAT HELP TO ME AND ITS MY PLEASURE TO FOLLOW WHAT IS THE BEST THING THAT I WOULD DO.
THANK YOU.
Dear Atty,
Need your advise po. Naghiwalay po kame Oct. 2016 ng live-in partner ko. Simula noon up to now never sya nagbigay sa akin ng sustento para sa 7years old son namin. Pinapahiram ko parin sa kanya ang bata dahil ang reason po nya sa akin ay wala sya work at pag nakaalis daw po saka sya magbibigay. Isa po kasi syang seman. Sinabi ko po sa kanya na kahit Php5,000.00 magbigay monthly pumayag naman po sya at sinabing mag iiwan ng atm para don sa allotment. Last July 6, 2017 tinakasan nya na po kame. Ayaw na po magbigay. Ang sabi nya po hindi nya ako bibigyan ng sustento pero sya na lang daw sa pag aaral ng bata. Ipapabayad daw nya sa nanay nya ang tuition. Php700.00 lng po ang tuition ng bata kada buwan. Un lang daw ang maibibigay nya. Kung ano-ano pong masasakit na salita ang natanggap ko mula sa kanya. Muka daw ako pera para humingi ng Php5,000.00. Naawa na lang ako sa sarili ako. Kaya sinabihan ko silang wag na magbigay. Kung tutuusin kaya ko naman gawan ng paraan kesa un pagkatao ko ang lait laitin nila. Kung salbahe at mukang pera akong tao idadaan ko sa legal ang lahat at possible daw hindi makaalis yon pag nagdemanda ako at possible rin na mas malaki pa makuha kong sustento. Pero mas pinili ko pong manahimik na lang para wala ng gulo. Ang concern ko po ngayon ay pwed po ba ako humingi sa atty o court na order na ndi nya pwed lapitan anak ko? malinaw naman po na tinalikuran na nya.
Thanks po.
Sincerely,
Yobi
Good day po.
I have heard of the law concerning a refund of child support. I’ve been separated for 14 yrs now and have not demanded support from my ex husband because we didn’t know his whereabouts since we left my in-laws’ house. I’ve heard he has been working outside the country but as usual I was the last to know. But 2 yrs ago he appeared to my mom in law’s house and my son heard of it and went there to meet him (he did not initiate to see my son and daughter). Now My eldest daughter is already working and my youngest is still in college. My question is, Can I demand for the refund of his supposed share on my children’s support and for the present support for my son?… by the way he is an Architect by profession and has his own firm and he also has introduced his 14 yr old daughter and the other woman to his family and my children.
Thank you very much.

Just want to ask, yung live in partner ko po has 2 panganays from different women, i know hindi siya nagkukulang ng sustento infact sobra nga siyang gumastos sa binyag and birthdays ng mga bata, pinaghahandaan niya pag aaral ng mga to. Pero yung isang babae po na hindi makapagmove on at nagbanta na kakasuhan niya daw boyfriend ko, kasi di daw dinadalaw ang anak niya. Ano pong kaso ang pwde niyang ikaso sa partner ko, at pano ko po idedefend sarili ko sa kaniya since hinahalungkat niya personal life at sinisira niya po pamilya ko, like mama at mga kapatid ko? Pls need it badly pls hide my identity po. Thank you
Hi! I would like to ask opinion regarding sa pagdedemand ng nanay ng anak ng asawa ko. Bale nagpakasal ako sa asawa ko, at may anak na siya (now 4yrs old). Alam ko nman yun at hindi issue sakin. Pero ang ihihingi ko lang sana ng opinion is ung pagdedemand ng nanay ng bata. Monthly nman may sustento ang bata. 8k. Ngayon, she’s demanding na gawin daw 10k ang sustento dahil kulang na kulang daw sa bata ang 8k. Kahit di pa naman nag aaral ang bata. Worst, buong pamilya ng Asawa ko (parents and relatives) bawal pumunta sa bahay nila para bisitahin ang bata. Yung Asawa ko lang dapat. Bawal din hiramin. At kapag tinatawagan, pinapatayan kami ng phone. At kung di maibigay ang gusto nyang halaga, nag eeskandalo sya. Kung anu anong pagmumura ang sinasabi sa tawag at text.
Pag tinatanong ko nman asawa ko kung bakit bigay lang siya ng bigay, sabi niya, ayaw lang niya ng gulo, kasi iskadalosa yung babae. May work na mganda din nman ang babae tsaka malaking sahud, pero buong gastos sa daily needs and wants, asawa ko nagso shoulder. To think na may anak din kami.. Hindi nman po ganun kalaki sweldo ng asawa ko. Para makapag ipon din sana kami. Naaawa ako sa situation ng Asawa ko at in laws ko. Mahal na mahal nila ang bata kaya sunod sunoran nlang sila sa gusto ng nanay. Tama po ba yun? Ano po bang action ang dapat kong gawin?
Hi my husband and i always argue and fight and he always leave us, me and our son, and go to his mother’s house. He never attempted to make things work for us and i always end up making the first move. I feel like he doesnt have any concern for our family anymore and he is so unattentive lately. Then this April we had a huge fight and he left us and never contacted us and never gave financial support again until Sept when her mother gave back our clothes at my parents house. I was so dismayed because i was waiting for him to make things right. I texted him why and how come he never gave us support anymore and he told me that i should expect anullment. I decided to seek help from dswd and we went to his office(he is a supervisor in a big company so theres no way he cant support us) and we were so shocked to find out that he already left for bahrain. Her mother even went to my parents house and she never mentioned that his son will go abroad. Now im asking for advice please what should i do? What cases should i file?

Good day po. Ang aking anak na lalaki ay isang pong contractual worker dito sa aming bayan bilang isanfg responder/rescuer and his earning P6,500.00/month. Noong 2012 ay nakarating cya ng Taiwan bilang isang OFW. Habang nasa Taiwan po sya naging malimit ang kanilang away hanggang nagdesisyon na maghiwalay sila. Sa kanilang verbal agreement may financial support na P5,000.oo per month na ibibigay ang aking anak sa kanyang asawa. Kahit na P6,500 lng ang monthly salary ng aking anak ay tinutupad niya ang kanilang agreement. Kaso this day lang po nnang ihatid niya ang bata sa kanyang asawa san lungsod nagdemand ang asawa na daoat magbigay siya ng pera para sa birthday ng kanilang anak bukas. Ang sabi nang anak kon lalaki., Hindi na ako magbigay kasi na treat ko na sya kahapon pa. Birthday kasi ng isa kong apo so pinasama ko na lng ang kanilang birthday. Ngayon nagdemand sya na lalapit sya sa korte para ireklamo ang kanyang financial support. Ang aking tanong maari po bang makasuhan ang aking anak na hindi nga bigay ng suporta sa kanyang anak? Anf monthly allowance ng bata ay ipinadala sa isang pawnshop na may pera padaa at may resibo syang hinahawakan.

Hello Atty!
May dalawa kaming anak ng EX-live in partner ko, ages 5 and 7. Nung nag abroad siya, nabuntis siya ng iba then pag uwi niya, napatawad ko siya at sinupportahan ung anak niya na di kinilala nang tatay and she’s already 3 now. She stayed for a couple of months after niyang manganak then bumalik ng abroad last 2014. Naging okay ulit kami hanggang nung 2015, nalaman ko nalng na may bago na naman siyang kinakasama sa abroad which is naging dahilan na hiniwalayan ko siya. Bagong panganak lang siya this month sa bagong lalaki.
Anyways, gusto ko lang po mag tanong if magkano ung financial obligation ko kasi 10.000 pesos lang basic pay ko. nagbibigay ako 4k a month pero grabe parin ung insulto na inaabot kasi kulang daw at laging nagbabanta na magkakaso.
salamat po sa pag sagot. God Bless!
Good day attorney,
My brother and his wife wed at a courthouse. Their baby is already born when they got married. After 1 1/2 years, the girl verbally admitted to my brother that she has another American citizen boyfriend. She left mu brother and the baby for almost 2 years. When she graduated college and now in medschool, she wants to get their baby who is now 3 years old.
As an aunt, who loved and took care of the child as my own, I’m aware of the law that childlren below 7 years old should be with their mother. This is what scares me. We gathered photos showing his wife and her boyfriend together, but they’re not intimate in the pictures. It just says that they’re celebrating their anniversary. Will that be enough to file for an adultery case?
The girl also had a history of suicide. Can my borhter get her records from the hospital since he was the one who took her there? Can we use this also as an evidence for mental incapacity?
We’re also sure that she’ll just leave my loveable niece to her relatives since she stays in the dormitory of her boyfriend while they’re studying Medicine.
Your help will be a blessing to us. Please guide us. Thank you. God bless.

Good day atty!
Gusto ko lang po humingi ng advice sa inyo about sa situation ko. Kasal po ako sa isang US citizen for like 10yrs now may anak rin po kami ngayon, ngunit dati po ngkaanak ako sa isang pinoy nung panahong ngbakasyon ako sa pinas, he is 7yrs old now alam ng asawa ko ang nangyari nuon. Pero kahit nasa ibang bansa me tinry ko pakiusapan sila na ibigay ang anak ko sa kapatid ko pero ayaw nila at dahil nasa manila mga kapatid ko sila nasa probinsya wala ko magawa dahil ayaw talaga nila ibigay ang bata sakin nuon. so sila ngalaga sa bata for 7 yrs and now narealized nung tatay na may diperensya siya at ndi magkaroon ng anak sa girlfriend niya so lumalabas na hindi siya ang tatay ng anak ko na nasa puder nila for 7yrs naka apelyido pa rin sa pagkadalaga ko although kasal nako that time ginamit ko ang apelyido ng pagkadalaga ko. Nagalit siya at inisip na niloko ko siya tinakot akong idedemanda although ndi ko intention yun dahil ang buong akala ko cia ang ama dahil cia ang halos tumira sa place namin everyday until lumipad ako papuntang ibang bansa na. hindi sumagi sa isip ko na ang one time night ang magiging resulta dahil cia ang mas halos live in partner ko nung mga panahon na yun….at halos may hawig ang bata sa kanya…Salamat ho sana ho ay mabigayn nio ko ng idea if paano masettle ang situation na ito. Thank you. God bless

He is not connected in any company. he is a freelance architect. my eldest child graduated from college without his financial support. now my youngest is already in his 3rd yr in college and he needs financial help due to high tuition fee. he tried to contact his father but he is ignoring his messages and even not answering his call. pls help me oblige him to pay for my youngest child’s tuition fee at least this last 2 years in college..thank you very much and God bless
Dear Atty:
i got two kids which will graduate this coming Match 2018..they are 22 and 21. is it legally just to stop the financial support ? or as an alternative, decrease the financial support?
though, i did sign an agreement that i will provide support for an “X” amount, but it did specify when will it end..
no offense, my hard earned money does is not 100% fully enjoyed by my kids….it is also being consumed by their half-brothers…
glad to hear your legal advise…thanks!
I had two kids with my previous boyfriend. I already gave him a demand letter but he is ignoring it. For how long should I wait before I file a petition in court? Thank you very much.
Hi po tanong ko lang po. yesterday I received a demand letter from my wife. Asking 35k for support. 9months na po akong nakipaghiwalay dahil sa hindi nko masaya sa relasyon namin. 3 po anak ko sa kanya pero may sarili nang pamilya ang 2 kong anak n babae.yung bunso namin nalang kasama nya sa bahay.24yrs old edad ng bunso ko. Nagbibigay naman ako ng monthly support.. ngayong jan. Lang nadelay kasi nasa new company nko nagwowork at every katapusan yung salary unlike before na 15,30 sahod. Need legal advice po
Hi I’m 25 years old. I get pregnant to my ex boyfriend. We’re separated he randomly gives money when we ask only. Nung nanganak ako my bills reach 60k he only contribute 15k and support only 2k after ko manganak then huminge kami ulit ng pandagdag sa gagastosin sa binyag nagcontribute lng xa ng 5k after nun wala na siyang support. Walang kusa yung financial support nya. Hindi namin pinaapelyedo sakanya ang baby namin ano po dapat kung gawin legally para mfrce siyang magbigay ng financial support sa baby.
Hi Atty.,
I am 25 yrs old and a single mother, the father of my baby is well off. He has his own business , lives in a subdivision with his live-in partner, has 2 cars and etc.
The situation is he did not support well my baby’s needs in which he has a capacity to do so. As a parent all i want is to provide ,if not the best at least most of my baby’s needs. Their child is very well provided and to tell you frankly i’m a little bit envious of what he did…
Don’t my child have the same right of their childs? It isn’t fair on my baby’s side… What is the best thing that I should do Atty?
Hope to receive your kind advise.
In what way can I ask him a full financial support for my baby?
Hi Sir,
I am Jeanny, a single mom of 2. My partner and I separated 3 years ago while I was pregnant with our 2nd child. We separated because he impregnated another woman and he’s living with that woman now. He acknowledged our first child but not the second one. He also used to support the kids with just 2k a month. For less than 2 years he inconsistently sent his suport to the kids. He also don’t visit the kids or even call to say hi or how the kids doing. Until last July 2016, he stopped sending financial support, stop replying to my messages and answering my calls (following up the child support). By the way, he is a police officer.
My questions and concern are as follows:
1. Can I complaint or filed a case for child abondement for the two kids?
2. Since he did not acknowledged our second child, what if he refused to support the child?
3. If he refused to acknowledged the second child, what should I do so I can still push for child support?
4. Can I demand that he should add the kids as beneficiary in all his benefits?
Please give me your inputs in this matter.
Thank you.
to Ms. Jeanny,

Good day Attorney!
May i inquire about the problem of my uncle.
He is married with 1 child below 7 years old. His wife cheated on him and wanted a separation but she is demanding my uncle to support the needs of the child in her custody.
My question is, can she really demand my uncle to support the needs of their child when in the first place she is the one who cheated with another guy?
Hi good day!
What is the legal child support under the law.?
Thanks

me and my husband are legally married and beside my husband is not in the birth certificate of the kid.
he sued me i know its me but in the subpoena my name is wrong.
what can we do do i really need to get worried please help me.
SANA PO MAPANSIN NYO.
Atty.,
Gusto ko lang po maliwanagan.
Me and my ex-boyfriend had a baby June 2010. He is 7 years old now. When I got pregnant, he leaves me. So, he did not sign the birth certificate of our child. Three months after our child was born, he showed up and make it up to me, Sept 2010.
We lived-in for almost 4 years. But he abuses me physically without reasons especially when he is drunk. My father told me to leave him, that’s what I did in March 2014.
We moved out from the house without his knowledge. After 2 months of leaving, he had a girlfriend, that was May 2014. He supports the child only if he feels like it because I did not demand it. I am being thankful if he gave, and also thankful if he doesn’t. Like, 3k every other 3-4 months, but stopped supporting our child last Dec 2016.
He was married last January 2018. He is working now at Saudi Arabia. I am incapable of supporting our child because I am still a student as of now.
Can I still demand him the support of our child? How? Its been a while since his last support. Please answer. Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Thanks and God bless. More power!
RA9262
section 5
“(2) Depriving or threatening to deprive the woman or her children of financial support legally due her or her family, or deliberately providing the woman’s children insufficient financial support;”
FAMILY CODE
“Art. 201. The amount of support, in the cases referred to in Articles 195 and 196, shall be in proportion to the resources or means of the giver and to the necessities of the recipient.”
Pwede pa rin ba akong mag file ng case under 9262 kahit walang income yung ama?
Umaasa lang kasi sya sa live in partner nya at sya ang nagstay sa house nila para mag asikaso sa anak nila.
Makakakuha pa rin ba ako ng financial support sa kanya?
Hi Atty, Ang anak ko po apelyido ko po ang gamit, wala ring acknowledgement of paternity ng tatay nya sa Birth Certificate nya. Pero pinapahiram ko parin po ang bata – pero di po talaga nagbibigay ng financial support ever since. Pwede ko po ba kasuhan yung tatay lalo na’t may special needs yung bata like Congenital Heart Disease? Wala po kasi syang binibgay kahit magkano kahit na may work sya at settled naman yung life nya. Please advise.

I have ask so may helps for the regular support from 2 of our government intity but I found no help…until my husband send us an off and on financial support….like this year 2018 he only send us for the month of February while he goes around with his mistress on vacation here in the Philippines.
Is there any possiblity I can get the support I needed for me and my son?

Good day, Atty.
Ask ko lang po if I can file RA 9262 for the father of my child which is 6 yrs old now na hindi niya na acknowledge sa Birth Certificate? If i want to file a case ano po ang gagawin ko?Ano po ang kailangan kng gawin?

I just want to ask if I have the right to demand for support for the twins. On what grounds we are not legal. Please help me.
We have 3 children (2boys and 1girl*bunso) the 2 boys are special child. Me and their father are separated. The father is earning 25k a month how much of his salary should be given to us because i want to stop working to attend the needs of my kids and be a hands on mom to them.
Atty Fred,
gusto ko lang pong magtanong dahil common law wife po ako ng isang AFP officer na may rankong LT. COL. Isa po syang muslim, may unang asawa po sya at naikasal sila.sa muslim rites pero matagal napo silang hiwalay pero may isa silang anak at binata na ngayon, sa 2nd wife naman po ay kasal sila sa civil pero di sila nagkaanak, sa 3rd wife naman po nya ay kasal din sila sa shariah law at may 3 silang anak. Sa kasamaang palad ako po ang hindi napakasalan dahil inabutan po ako ng Directives ng AFP na bawal na sa 1 sundalong muslim ang makapagdagdag ng asawa as of 2004 diumano. Kaya ang napasok lang po sa SOI (Summary of Information) nya as dependents ay yung 2nd wife at 3rd wife lang at ang 3 mga anak nito as dependents. Gusto ko po sanang maipasok din ang anak ko as dependents nya sa SOI nya dahil sa kanya naman ito naka apelyido at inacknowledge naman po nya ito. Namomoblema po ako dahil buntis po ako bgayon sa pangalawang anak namin at napilitan po akong magresign sa trabaho dahil sa maselan po ang pagbubuntis ko. Noon palang hindi napo sapat ang suportang binibigay nya sa bata. Good thing lang at may trabaho ako kaya napupunan ko mga pagkukulang nya. Laso ngayong napilitan po akong magresign dahil nga po sa maselang sitwasyon ko e nahihirapan po talaga ako dahil hindi po talaga sapat ang suportang binibigay nya. Ang gusto ko po sanang mangyari ay iallotment nalang ang mga anak ko. Para hindi ko na kailangan pang humingi sa kanya. Automatic ng magkakaron ng atm ang mga bata para automatic na ibabawas sa sahod nya ang suportang nararapat para sa anak ko at sa darating pang isa.
Hi, Attorney,
MAy ikokonsult po sana ako regarding sa brother ko. Magfifile daw ng kaso ang babae under RA 9262 sa kapatid ko for the reason na hindi sya nagsusuporta sa anak daw nya which is di nya alam kung sa kanya talaga. Yung apelyedo ng bata ay sa babae possible ba na makasuhan ang brother ko?Salamat sa sagot.

Hello Atty.
I badly need an advice in regards with Child support.
Im a mother of 2 kids.
Married since 2015, but my kids were born before me and my husband marry (2012).
Me and my husband is now separated (not legally) but i left our house.
Im a battered wife.
My husband work as an OFW in Japan,
and is currently living there while me and kids here in PH.
Everytime he goes to PH, we always tend to fight and end up him hurting me.
Last year was worse.
He got vacation to PH twice last year and twice she brought home a girl with him.
What’s worse is that he’s teaching our kids that the girl is also their mom.
I ignored and didn’t react to it at first cause im alone living with their relatives.
But last year, we fought bad and he end up almost throwing me off the stairs while his girl and everyone in the house is watching even kids.
He’s not letting me take my kids to our room to sleep but he is letting the other girl sleep with my kids . thats why i wanted to take my kids and end up fighting .
The next day,
He went to our Barangay complaining and he said that his complain is about me trying to take away the kids .
which is not true .
First , i was asking him permission if me and my kids can take vacation because my relatives also just came home from Japan.
and they wanted to see my kids , but he didnt thats why we end up fighting also.
So while in the barangay,
person present on the meeting was talking to us and he’s trying to make me look bad, Until i told them and showed them all my bruises and mentioned the girl he brought home in the house.
They asked me if i wanted to do Medical for my bruises but i was so scared at that time so i said no.
to shorten it ,
the barangay personnel said that
he should just transfer me and kids a different apartment , and he should give us child support for a monthly allowance .
When we returned home from vacation (that was the day we set for agreement of us transferring to new apartment) my husband already left the country . and never did he comply with the agreement settled in barangay.
a few months later,
His relatives from house is ganging up on me and not let me eat . (longest i had was 6days no eat).
so i decided to contact my relatives and asked them for help .
To make it clear, we ran away from house.
i took my two kids with me,
and went to my relatives .
my Daughter is 6 and my Son is 5 and has ADHD .
We are currently living with my relatives and well provided by my mom (cause i can’t work at the moment cause nobody will look out for kids) , but currently planning to open a small business .
I was a call center agent before and because my husbands relatives always complain , i got no choice but to leave my company and take care of kids . this is why i am currently unemployed .
School year is about to start , and with my son’s condition, he should be taking some therapy (ADHD and Speech) but since we don’t have the budget for that , i wanted to asked if we can ask for a child support .
my husband is currently working in Japan and based there.
what are my chances for this kind of case?
i hope to hear from you soon, and I’ll be very grateful for you response . Thankyou so much
Atty i would like to seek help. Im in a bad shape now. I am 7 months pregnant. I dont have work as of the moment because of my situation. Im legally married to my husband. He has a stable job. He provides weekly vitamins and milk and for my monthly check up. But for myself as a wife he dont provide for my welfare (food, housing etc) because he says that his salary is not enough. He is earning 30k plus in a big company here in the philippines. Please i need some advice. Can i ask for legal help at legal departments for my demands? Thank you.
May anak po ako na may special needs. 7 years of 4 hrs intervention per week. Yung tatay inabandona siya for almost 10 years. Just recently nagsabi na magsusupport at sasagutin na lahat ng gastos at napilitan ako huminto sa trabaho. 2 mos lang nagbigay kulang pa. After ko i-confront nagsabi ng halaga na ibibigay niya na kulang na kulang pa sa pangangailangan ng bata. Delay pa kung magdeposit. Pwede po ba makasuhan dahil insufficient at delayed ang bigay niya. May proof po kami na kaya magbigay ng tama.
What if both of my parents don’t want to support me anymore? Even my tuition fee,food, and housing? For the reason that they don’t want to spend money. They are firm on their decision.
Until when (my age) they are oblige to support me? And what should I do?

Good evening! Brief background, we were abandoned by our father of his responsibilities, he cohabited with another woman and had 4 children. We are his legal family,our mom is his legal wife and we are 3 legitimate children. Sinikap ng mama ko na isustain lahat ng needs namin til makagraduate kmi at makapagwork na. Di naman sila ni papa legally separated pero no support samin. Question po, ngayong retirable si papa sa pnp, pwede ba kaming magpetition for proportionate share sa retirement benefits niya?
Hi good day,
I am in need of help in regards to my situation with my family. I am not married but I have 2 kids. Their mother was previously a “GRO” when we met. Since she was living alone I asked her to live with me instead.
Since then our relationship has been rough as I really did not wanted to marry her and that it felt wrong.
The mother of my children still does not have any work, she plans on going outside of the country though but to work as a “mamasang.”
She and I struggled giving good quality education to our kids because her job was not permanent. I owe a lot of money from a lot of banks and a lot of people due to the tuition fees house expenses and everything.
I now have a partner who tries to help me as well in my situation. My kids and their mother still lives inside my premise. I am working at a call center I make 14-16k per cut.
I provide schooling, food at home and pay for the loans. The mother of my children asked PAO and was advised that she has to get half the salary I am getting.
I am worried about this as I do not want her to just rely on my own hardships I also doubt that it will be placed as a budget for my children.
I need some advise
Please and thank you
Regards

Hi,
I would like to consult my friend’s situation. She has been in a relationship with his ex for almost 5 years. they had a baby last year and my friend’s pregnant again. they split up last month because the guy was caught cheating. the guy didn’t contact my friend after the confrontation and didn’t even bother to give support to the child. could this be a possible ground of RA 9262?
Good day attorney.. Ask ko lng po kung my karapatan po ba ako sa property ng parents ko…iba ung apelyedo ko kc illigitimate child po ako din my 2 kids n sila…ung property nka pangalan po sa apelyido ng stepfather ko… May habol pa ba ako sa property n un and now married napo ako…salamat…

Good afternoon Sir,
I am a father of a child and recently me and my live in partner got separated. my question is, do i have the right to request to lower the support my previous live in partner asking me to give because i can no longer sustain my necessities? right now i am working as technician with minimum wage. i am not planning on leaving my responsibilities behind but right now i don’t have enough source of income to give the amount my previous partner want. what should i do?

I am a grandfather. My son and his wife were separated for a year now. They have 2 child. 6 and 3 years old. Recently the mother went abroad for work leaving the children to her parents and sister. My son still visiting the children every weekend also me and my wife inviting the children for outing, meaning to say we have a good relationship with the children. My first question, is my son has right to take care of the children? We have offered them to let the child enrolled to Lasalle in Toledo City provided with private transport and a tutor. But the mother refused. She wants the child to enroll in other school and wanted the child to hits a ride with her brother in law”s motor bike going to school together with her nephew. We think that it is unsafe and uncomfortable. Now I want to know if my son has the right to decide to which school the child should go.
Thank you and hoping your kind advice on this matter.
Thank you
Can I ask the court to imprisone the father of my child? I would rather see him in jail than seeing him living free. We had an agreement years ago about the financial support but he did not comply. Just last year when he decided to give support but with difficulty in my part. For my peace of mind I really would love to see him in jail. If ever I will file a case against him how soon will this happen? Thanks.
The father of my son left us 8 years ago we are not married but we live together for 9 or 10 years he have his own family I have new partner my son fathe message me if he like or I he only have time he don’t support my son financially he gave money atleast twice a year like 4thousand or 6 thousand he said this coming enrollment he will give me 50 percent of my son tuition fee but until now his online on Facebook but not responding to my message what case can I file to him so he will support his son

Hi Atty. I would like to consult our situation to see how it stands in the law.
My father had a long-time affair with a woman from his office. His mistress told him that he is the biological father of his daughter. However, the mistress is also married, and her husband accepted the child as his own and the child now carries the mistress’s husband’s last name.
For the past 11 years, their affair has been kept a secret and the child grew up thinking that her biological father is only her ninong. The mistress (who is still working in the same company) has also been receiving financial support from my father, even though she is still married to her husband who legitimized the child and they are living under one roof as a family. It was only a few months ago when the truth was revealed to my mother and she has demanded for the affair to stop, and along with it, the support for the child to stop as well. I would like to clarify a few items:
1. Under the law, is my father liable for providing financial support to the child considering the child is legitimized by the mistress’s husband?
2. If not, is my mother able to make the financial support stop because of this technicality? My mother also has doubts that the child is even truly his because the mistress has remained married to her husband all throughout the affair with my father. No DNA tests have been provided because my father is convinced that it is his child.
3. Even though my father is not working in the same company anymore, can we still file a complaint against the mistress to the company? She was my father’s direct report all throughout the affair and there was a very clear conflict of interest.
4. When the time comes, will the child have any claims on the properties, etc. that my father owns if proven blood-related? Again, I’m going back to the fact that the child has always carried the mistress’s husband’s last name which either means she has been legitimized by the husband or adopted.
We hope you can shed some light on our situation. Thank you.

Is it possible to sue the mother for neglecting her children?
My brother and his x-gf had two kids, and she left them both to my moms care. My mom is old and they dont have direct source of income. My brother works full time and providing for his kids, but the mother is living a nice life by herself somewhere. I see all her posts in facebook, eating out with her friends, trips here and there with hashtag “single”, and it infuriates me more. She’s a call center QA, and they get paid enough for her to take care of her kids. This is also not the first time. She had another kid with another man. She also left that child to the fathers care.
Im trying to avoid the scenario wherein, my mom would continue taking care of those kids and she comes back later when the kids are able and useful. Itll be easier for her to take them since shes the mother.
I want her to take her kids since shes the mother. If she wont do it, i want to sue her, and we’ll keep the kids legally so she dont see them again.
Good morning po.. My live in partner leave us after i got pregnant.. Don’t know what to do?? But I know where he works.. Hope you can help me thanks in advance..
Can I still get suport to my father? I am already 26, and he is not married to my mom. Though I have some evidence that she is my father through conversations. Thanks
Hi, I have a son from a previous relationship. He’s now married to another woman but no child yet and is now working in Japan. Our son is in 6th grade and studying in a private school. He sent money to his brother amounting 3,500 pesos only last May. We have met in IGDD Davao for his support for 2,500 per month 5 years ago. I’m working part time as of this time. Can I oblige him to send monthly support and as well as an increase?
Hi, Im separated with my husband for almost 8 yrs. now. hes anyway been supporting our daughter only when he wants and how much he wants to give. recently he filed an annulment petition which I approved since we were already living in partways. however, i just want to ask some advice on how much should i demand from him since he is a seafarer.

My husband is an employee at LGU. We have 2 children and were married for 9years. Hindi nya po kami bnibigyan allowance. Ung sweldo nya ay sa kanya lang napupunta. We live together sa byenan ko. Ang nag susupport po sa amin at s mga bata ay ang mother ko for allowance and ang mother nya para s food, shelter, etc. Sinasabi nya lagi na narami sya bayarin. Utang po sya ng utang para sa nonsense n mga bagay. Pang inom , pang yosi, pang sugal at pambili ng mga sapatos at tsinelas. Paano naman po kami? Hindi naman forever nandyan ang mga nanay namin para sumoporta. Hindi ba para sa mga anak nya kaya nag ttrabaho sya? Pag po kasi kinausap sya. Ay galit pa sya. Pa help naman po

In a case wherein the father of the child is under 18 yrs old and yet studying under the expense of his parents that no financial support is being provided by him to the child, is the parent of the father’s side is obliged to give the necessary support to their grandchild financially?
Hi! Im a single Dad with 3 kids with different mom..My eldest is now 18 years old and we are separated with her Mom for 6 years .

Apparently things went wrong on succeeding month she seldom communicate with us and even on special ocassion like bday ,christmas and new year she never bother to greet our daughter and also stop her support. Finacial support from her is not a big deal since its my responsibilty to provide my daughters need no matter how hard it is. When she arrived last May 13,2018 she took our daughter with her and agreed every weekend ile fetch her and stay with me in our house.I thought she was sincere on what we agreed cos she allow me to get my daughter for the first and the last time. She keeps on sending me messeges asking for money to support for our daughter . And if call her she wont answer my calls ,cos i want to discuss with her if how much amount? Until now she dont answer my calls instead she threathen me if i cud not give her the money she demanded icant see my daughter again.She even txted me that her new american bf will be the new father of our daughter ..By the way that american is also the father of her newly born child.. pls help me what to do.. tnx

Hi…
I just want to consult out situation… Its been four years since we broke up, we are not married but the thing is we have a kid, she’s 6 years old now… me and my boyfriend are still okay when she’s 1 and half years. That time he’s still supporting her financially…but after we broke up he stopped everything….I just want to know what I will do to ask him to support my child?
Hi. I would like to ask. The mother of my daughter and I was separated for almost a year now. but I never stopped giving support to my 6 year old daughter. She keeps harassing me to give what the amount she wants. I cannot do anything. Actually I have my new partner now and she demands nothing and she wants to fix first the issue about my daughter. She is supporting me in this fight. I’m an OFW, does she has the rights to harass me if I fail to to met the amount she wants. She is overall demanding a 60% of my gross income monthly. I would like to ask is it legal for her to harass me that way and would it be possible that not only the father will support his child or children? A mother needs to support too right? hope someone can give me advise. Thank you!
Good morning. I have a question regarding legitimated child. Isn’t it when you say legitimated both parents have to be biological? The case is, my husband had a daughter from his previous relationship. Things did not work so well and they separated. The woman tried to hide her daughter away from my husband and has not seen her in more than 10 years. Recently, we found out she was legitimated through subsequent marriage of her mom and another man. She soon talked to her daughter when she was 15 years old and was demanding financial support from him. Another question, does my husband have legal responsibilities over her daughter when she’s already legitimated by his step dad? I know it was fraudulent of them to do that because in my readings the proper process was for the step dad to adopt the child because he is not the biological dad..
Good day,

Good day po!
I really want some advise. a few years already my ex-girlfriend got pregnant but i’m not sure if really mine. merong chances na hindi sa akin pero she threatened me to abort the baby if I didn’t support them because her parent’s didn’t want the baby so I stop my college which is I regret until know to support them. so after the baby was born she didn’t even give my family name to the baby and when they seems to be ok to her parents she’s starting to flirt or chat with some men while I’m working and to the point she even hit me so I decided to broke up with her a few years ago but i continued to buy necessity for the baby but she and her family threatened me not go to there house so I have no choice but to stop. until recently when I’m starting to stand on my own right now from my own sikap and I’m planning to go back to school for next year she’s threatened me to imprison or file a case for not giving a financial support for the baby. FYI my ex-girlfriend has already a boy friend. I just really want some advise because I think that she’s using this law for her advantage or for her revenge and to pull me down.
Honestly my salary is minimum wage only which is enough to support my necessity and save some. No one is helping me even my parent’s because we just have enough to earn.Can I ask what should I do ?
Hi Atty.
Good morning. I am not sure if you would notice this but I’m hoping, I’m praying. I just wanna know if what we can do as the “Legal family” of my father. 4 years ago, my father had a mistress na nabuntis nya pero nagkahiwalay din sila nung mga 2 months pregrant yung babae. After 4 years of separation ng father and mother ko, my mother finally decided na bigyan ng chance yung father ko kasi po he’s been asking for it. Bilang anak, syempre gusto ko rin po mabuo ang family ko and this is the best opportunity sakin… samin. Kaya lang, tadhana nga naman po, biglang, nitong mga nakakaraang araw, kung kelan konting usap nalang ay makakauwi na sya, biglang may dumating na mga taga CIDG po sa bahay then hinahanap papa ko. wala po silang iniwan o pinakitang papel. (sa loob po ng 4 yrs na yun, di na talaga nakauwi si papa sa bahay) so di po nila nakuha si papa. na-confirm po ng mga konsehal sa brgy namin na taga CIDG nga then nalaman po namin na may warrant of arrest daw po si papa. Nafile yung case 2016 pa ( we have no idea). Yung kabit ni papa ung nag file. may pyansa naman daw po yung ganun.
Ano po ba ang pinaka magandang gawin namin?
Sorry po sa napakalaking abala pero tatanawin ko po tong napaka laking tulong at utang na loob.
Pasensya na po ulit. Salamat poand God bless.
Good day po atty,nais ko pong humingi nang advice , tungkol po sa anak ko, na nabuntis na 16yrs old at 30yr old po ang nakabuntis , naganak na po at ang anak ko baby girl, ngayon po ayawn g anak ko po na ipaipilyedo sa ama , kaya po sa apelyedo namain sinunod sa nya, nagyon pon agaglit ung lalaki kasi po bakit daw hindi pinaepilyedo sa kanya ? At pagh indi po raw bagubin ang epilyedo ng bata hindi po raw cyam ag susuporta sa bata dahil hindip o raw dala ang epilyedo nya, kahit po anong gagawink o po ayaw talaga nga nakk o ipaipelyedo sa kanya
Ano pong gagawin ko kapag yung dati ko pong kinakasama ay hindi nagbibigay ng sustento sa aming anak? Dahil daw wala syang trabaho kaya nga po hindi ko pinapapunta sa kanila ang aming anak.
The parents are not married , then the childs birth certificate is the mothers last name. My question is What cases should be filed if he/she does not support his/her child ?
Hi Attorney ang tanong ko po ay maari po ba humingi ng financial support ang anak ko na matagal inabandona ng kanyang ama (almost 21 years na) ? Hindi po kami kasal, bale nanakan lang po ako. Noong maliit pa ang bata ay humingi na ako ng financial support pero binalewala lang niya. Ngayon po ay nagtatanong na ang aking anak kung nasaan na ang ama niya at gusto niyang humingi ng suport dahil sa nag aaral pa rin siya. Medyo nalate na ang pag-aaral niya dahil sa hindi ko na kaya na siya ay pag aralin. Maari ko po bang obligahin ang ama ng anak ko na suportahan siya? Kahit po kusing ay wala po siya naibigay na panggastos sa anak ko habang ito ay lumalaki. alam ko po kung saan siya nakatira.
Hi Good morning. Ako po si Jeania Namol Ako po ay isang single mother halos 7 years na. Matagal na akong nanghihingi ng financial support sa tatay ng anak ko ngunit di nia pinapansin ang mga message ko sa facebook. Ngayon may balak kameng mg file ng demanda under RA9262. Pwede po bang mang yari na mag file din sila ng request na mahiram ung bata kahit 7 years old palang siya? Manghihingi sana po ako ng advice sa issue ko na to. Sana matulungan niyo po ako. Natatakot ako kasi ipahiram ang anak ko dahil baka bigla nilang iatago samin ang anak ko.

Sa ngayon po wala po akong trabaho pero nag aapplay pa ibang bansa din po dahil po may edad na din po ako at di na matanggap dito. Nung may trabaho po ako nun di ako humungi sa knya at kung magkano lang po ang iabot nya sa akin. Pero sa ngayon po kasi lumalaki na po ang mga bata at lumalaki narin po ang gastusin nila.. Ano po ang dapat ko gawin sir? at paano po attorney?
Sana po matugunan nyo ang aking problema at maraming salamat po.
good day atty.
me and my girlfriend separated pero may anak kami, 1 yr and 6 mos old. the problem is pinalayas nya ako sa bahay and lagi niya ako ginugulpi. di ako bumibitaw kasi mas iniisip ko yung mga gastusin at mga gawain sa bahay. lagi siya nainom pagweekends, kadalasan nakakasama niya ibat ibang lalaki pero at kung minsan umaga na kung umuwi. hindi nadin kami nagtatabi sa room ilang buwan na dahi sinasabe niya at sakin at alam kong may boyfriend siya. at lagi nya ako pinapahiya sa ibang tao. naguusap kami na gusto na nya talaga akong umalis dun sa bahay para maging masaya daw siya at maitira na daw niya yung bf nya dun. masyado akong mabaet. ginulpi pa niya muna ako bago ako umalis sa bahay. simula nung umalis ako every cutoff nagbibigay ako ng gatas at diaper at hindi pera ang binibigay ko kasi baka nga ipang inom lang niya. my question is nagmessage kasi siya sakin na kakasuhan daw nya ako pag hindi daw ako nagsupport ng financial sa bata. parang inantay lang nya talaga na umalis ako dun at nung hindi nakuntento sa gatas at diaper gusto niya kalahati ng sweldo ko mapunta sakanya. which is simula nung umalis ako dun naghanap ako ng tirahan ko na iba at syempre mas lumaki gastos ko. pero mas nahihirapan ako kung kalahati ng sweldo ko kukunin nya at gusto nya nalang ako kasuhan na even in the first place wala sa akin ang problema. maraming salamat po atty.
By way of general information, there is no hard and fast rule as to the amount of support. As noted in the article: “the amount of support should be in proportion to the resources or means of the giver and the necessities of the recipient.”
Hi, what if hindi nakapangalan sa kanya? Walang acknowledgement of paternity? Tapos di naman sya nagsusustento? Pwede ko pa rin ba kasuhan yung father?
In general, paternity is a matter of proof. You might want to read this: https://pnl-law.com/blog/rule-on-dna-evidence-full-text/
Dear PAO,
Isa po akong single parent at may dalawng anak .. hiwalay na po ako sa ama nila ng 4years . Pero sustentado po sila .. Ngayon po may naging boyfriend po ako ng 8months hiwalay na po kami ngayon at buntis po ako sa kanyang 3 buwan .. Sinabi ko po sa knya kya lng hindi po nya matanggap .. Ano po kyang pwedeng gawin pra po masuporthn nya ang bata.
Consider this:
Any woman looking for children and child support.
A parent in prison finds it almost impossible to make enough to pay child support.
The cost of housing prisoners is likely more than any child support payment from a prisoner.
With equal opportunity employment will come equal opportunity child rearing.
More men may get child custody.
Women are also required to pay child support to primary custodial parent.
Women also go to prison for failure to pay child support.
Until you apply debtors prison law.
ACLU got a women out of jail for failure to pay child support under debtor’s prison law.
Look it up at ACLU web site if you like.
Same law should apply to men.
If government cracks down on women on welfare, it will just require more burden
of financial support for custody on women as it does on men.
Soon they will have better birth control medication for men which will make it totally his decision if
he wants to risk having children or eventually child support.
They are working on a men’s birth control that only takes one injection per month.
No accidents by women looking for child support then.
In child rearing and support consider “if you abuse it, you loose it” could easily come into the equation.
Know how much harder it is to get child support from some other countries?
International law by UN says people have the right to leave a country.

I am a single mother. My ex partner refused to help ever since he knew that I’m pregnant. He left me. Now my baby’s 5 year old. Tried communicating with my ex partner but end getting ignored. Now it’s been 5 years and i tried to ask for help from him but end up getting ignored again. I just want to ask if I can file a complaint against him? But the thing is my baby is using my family name and not his.
Hello atty gusto ko lang po malaman if tama po ba na ako ang hingan ng exhusband ko nga supporta ng anak namin kahit 18yrs old na cya at wala naman po ako work?

after that i never ask anything instead i keep silent and never bother him .. but now he post me in social media and let his friends discriminate me in publicity .. please sir give me an advice what would i do sir what shall i do to make him stand his responsibility and to stop him doing that thing sir..
May naka one night stand po ako hindi ko po sya gf. Nag-claim sya na anak ko daw po yung anak nya. Nakapag bigay po ako sa kanya kahit konti noong nagbubuntis pa sya pero nagduda ako sa mga resulta ng 1st trimester ultrasound nya na sobra ng dalawang linggo mula nung may nangyari sa amin. Dahil kinakapos din ako nung panahon na yon sinabi ko na magbibigay ulit ako kung mapatunayan nya na sa akin ang bata. Nag demand ako na ipa DNA test yung bata kahit ako nalang ang gumastos at pumayag sya sa matinong usapan na ipapa DNA ang bata kapag naipanganak na. Pero bigla nalang syang nanghihingi ng pera/sustento nang hindi paman nanganganak at nagsabi na magkakaso sya sakin kapag hindi ako nagbigay ng pera.
Nung nalaman kong nanganak na yung babae, twice ako nag reach out na ipa dna na yung bata pero hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit parang andami nilang dahilan at hindi matuloy tuloy yung DNA. Noong mag iisang taon na yung bata at nagkausap ulit kami ng matino nung babae na ituloy na yung DNA test at sagot ko na yung gastos. May napagkasunduan ulit na date pero habang papalapit ang birthday ng bata ay nanghihingi na ng pera yung babae pang handa daw sa 1st birthday daw ng bata. Ang isinagot ko noon ay ang dati pa rin naming napagkasunduaan na kapag napatunayan sa DNA test na sa akin yung bata ay saka lang ako magbibigy ng pera sa kanya. Ngayon po may mga pinapakita syang documents na nag-kaso sya sa akin sa child support.
Gusto ko po sana masigurado na sa akin ang bata bago ako magbigay ulit pera sa kanya dahil jobless po yung babae. At kung mangyari po na sa akin ang bata pwede ba akong lumaban sa custody ng bata kung hindi nya kayang palakihin ang bata dahil laging dinadahilan ng babae kaya sya nanghihingi sa akin ay wala syang trabaho ata walang mapakain sa anak nya.
Hi, I am a daughter of a seaman 12 yrs old. My mother and my father is no longer together because of what we call it ‘teenage pregnancy’ but still my father (seaman) managed to graduate. So my father already had a child(younger half sister) and a wife their married. So obviously im an illegitimate daughter. Can I file my father if he will not or refuse support my studies or give an allowance?
btw My father gave me 5k twice a year and his wife was the one whos handling the money. Instead of 5k i only recieved 3k. I am ashamed to ask or talk my father about it because his wife was the one whos handling his account also.
Confused,
A daugther

Hi Sir/Mam
We have a child on my prevoius partner, though my daughter is not under his family name because when I gave birth hes not around that time. And there’s a need for him to signed the paternity consent. In short he is NA at the birth of our daughter. I asked a financial support beacuse he isa licensed teacher in a public shool he agreed on that and signed in front of the Barangay Captain including the expenses in case our child would have some emergencies (because she has a siezure disorder). And now he declined to honor of what we agreed before. Can we have a claim for this?
Hi Atty please advice me what is really financial support for wife? I’m OFW contractual 6 to 9 month, We don’t any child unfortunately we are separated for 17 years she was filed case against me RA 9262 non support last year. To make a short story in the pre-trial we agreed that she will received an monthly allotment amounting 40k. On April 2018 I was finished my contract then I reemployed last November 2018 but now she complained & filed motion to revive the case RA 9262 non support due her reason she didn’t receive an allotment for 6 months. Now this month probably she received an allotment because my salary deducted from my company. Please advice me what I’m going to do I’m out of the country right now for my case. I don’t want terminate my contract because I will be the one to shoulder all the expenses for my repatriation and for my reliever, and of course for my good reputation of my company. It is right that she continuesly receiving monthly allotment even my contract was finished? Thank you. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Good day po,
I need some help. Nagpakasal po kami ng asawa ko noong April 4, 2016 at 8 yrs old na po ang anak namin noon. This December ko lang po nalaman na may nabuntis pala siya at 6 months na noong time na kinasal kami. After po ng kasal namin, kasi nasa bulacan siya at kami ng anak ko ay naiwan sa leyte, ay nagsasama pa pala sila ng babae nya. Apelyido din ng asawa ko ang dala ng anak nila. Naabutan ko pa po ang mga gamit ng babae at anak nya doon sa bahay na inuupahan ng asawa ko. Ngayon, sabi nya hiwalay na daw cla pero nakikipaghiwalay din siya sa akin. Ang laki po ng sahod ng pulis pero 6k lang po pinapadala nya sa amin, minsan pa 3k lang. Pwede ko ba siyang kasuhan at ipatanggal sa serbisyo bilang pulis? Or kung magdemand po ako ng financial support, saan po ba ako pwedeng lumapit? Ilang percent po ba ba talaga ang makukuha ng legal family sa salary nya? Please help po. Walang wala po talaga kami. Salamat po.

After i found out about my husband’s infidelity, he left us without informing his whereabouts. Even his family is denying about his whereabouts. He left us October of 2014 and didnt even bother to support even our only daughter. I didnt mind about it initially because i was working. Now i am jobless and still no knowledge of his whereabouts.
Is it abandonment?
Can i still claim for support even if its 4 years that i did not file for any?

hi, i just want to ask some help and advice regarding my situation. what case can i file or is it even possible to file a case to my ex that is a british for refusing to be the father of my daughter?
Hi,
My husband and I went our separate ways. Our separation was not legalize. And even though he’s giving financial support, the amount he gave to me is not enough for the needs of my son. I know that he’s pay is more adequate. I’m also working but it is not stable yet. I’m also supporting my parents. I want to know if I can ask 60% of his salary. Thanks.
Good Day!
I am a Father of this 8 month old baby boy, i got separated for his mom 2 months ago, at first we have agreed that i can take my kid on my house whenever its possible for me to take care of him, but one day i found out she went out drinking and go home with some other guy when my child is in my house.
and now we are not with good terms about settlement for my child, i am being deprived of my parental rights for my son. so this is my problem, i cut off my child support and i am waiting for my ex to file a complaint against me coz i cant take the visitation rights she’s giving me regarding about my son. she’s offering 30 mins a day in their house like im visiting a prisoner. so please i need some advice of what should i do.
Hi,
My sister and I are both adults and married now but we grew up without knowing our father. It’s my mom and maternal family who supported us growing up. My mom didn’t get any moral or financial support from him.
My question now is, can I sue him for negligence and abandonment? I know that he is abroad now, and that he has another family somewhere in the Philippines too.
He and my mom are married by the way, that should be another cause for a different case.
Thank you!

How can I file a case to the father of my daughter that didn’t support her child?
Hi, good day! It is not stated in R.A. Kung ilang porsyento sa monthly salary ang kukunin para supporta?
Jonathan, you may have missed the portion in the article about the absence of a definite rule on the amount of support (whether deducted from the salary or not). Good luck.
Hello poh.. Isa poh aqoh s victim ng wrong relationship.. Ngmahal poh aqoh ng may aswa at ksal cla.. Ngkaanak poh kmi..

Monirih, by way of general information, support may be demanded from the father (whether legitimate or illegitimate). Good luck.
Me and my husband are separated (not legally) for almost 6 years. Ever since never siya nagbigay ng support sa dalawang anak namin. Until nakabuntis siya ng iba. Nung una diko siya inoobliga ng support dahil wala siyang trabaho. Then nung nagkawork na sya, nagkaron kami ng agreement sa Baranggay na magsusupport siya sa mga bata, pero never niyang tinupad. Hindi narin ako naghabol dahil ayoko napang mastress. And last year nakapag abroad siya and nagkawork dun. Since then never parin siya nagbigay ng support. Last year puro pangako siya na tutulong pag nakapag adjust na siya sa Dubai. Pero more than one year na siya nasa abroad until now hindi parin siya nagsusupport. Ano kaya ang habol ko? Pano ko pa siya makakasuhan kung nasa ibang bansa siya?
Anne, with respect to the agreement executed at the Barangay, read this: https://pnl-law.com/blog/execution-of-settlement-agreement-under-the-katarungang-pambarangay/
With respect to the other question, read this: https://pnl-law.com/blog/preliminary-investigation-criminal-cases/

Hi my name is Harvie,
I have a complicated situation. I was summoned for a Child Support with my ex live-in partner. I had no problems with giving my first son some money. I already volunteered to pay for his school stuffs, but still my ex demanded me to give pocket money worth of 2k per 15 days 4k a month, but my salary a month is just basing from 8k – 9k and we both already have our own families. She’s having a baby soon and will be married to her husband, and I’m living with my current wife along with our 3 year old daughter and 8 months son. With my salary of 8l – 9k most half or more of it is the demand of my ex, she is threatening me if I don’t comply with her demand she will let me go to jail, I already told her that I can’t do that kind of demand because it’s too high and there will be nothing left with my family to feed them and even have a future with me as their husband and father. I am saddened, afraid and so depress right now because they might leave me because of thinking that they will have no future with me if they stay. How can I fight with my ex’s demands at least decrease her demands legally. Please advised, thank you so much.
Regards

Hi. My partner happen to be an “alleged” father of the kid with his ex. But we are very doubtful about it because the girl has some history of being in a relationship with multiple people during the time that my partner and her are still together. Will the DNA test be a very powerful details or item for her not to be granted with her claim for child support?
Thank you for your response.
May anak po ako sa 2nd wife ko. 3 po.
Nung magkahiwalay kami ng mama nila d na ko nakapag bigay ng sustento kasi pinatanghal nya ko sa work ko. Lagi po sya napunta sa work ko at sinisiraan ako. So sabi ng mga boss ko mag resign na ko.Ginugulo nya ko. Nag part time job ako ginugulo pa rin. So sa ngayon wala po ako trabaho. D na ko matanggap sa trabaho kasi 51 years old na ko. Hirap humanap. So d ako makabigay. Nag pa legal yun mama nila. Ano po ba pwed ko gawin. Wala talaga ako maibigay. Gusto ko magbigay . Kasi mga anak ko naman sila. Halos 3 years na ko wala trabaho. Nag side line lang ako driver para mabuhay. Pero halos kulang pa pang gastos ko sa sarili ko. Payuhan nyo po ako. Ano po ba ikakaso sa tulad ko. Censya na po. D po ako mahusay sa english.
Please reply po.
Thanks
Atty,
Good day po! I would like to know if meron po bang law sa Philippines on how to ask for child support from a foreign father who lives and work here and nabuntis po ang babae by one night stand. If he is using an alibi that he cant have a child due to a medical condition and hasnt prove it yet. And he also refused to have DNA test later on after the baby is born that will prove it. Where can women here in the Philippines go? Can we file complaint in the embassy against this guy who refused to cooperate on this case? Looking forward for your answer.
Ty

Hi Hello! PLEASE HELP! I have a Seamam Partner. We are not married yet. We are 3years together and we have 1yr old daughter . We live together with his family and his mom doesnt like me because I am undergrad and I dont have a work. She wanted a proffesional partner for his son but I didnt mind her. I loved my partner so much more than anything. But one time my partner decided to let me go home and he texted me bad words and he even cursed me. I took my daughter home and his mom was happy when I left.. I dont want to be broken. I love him so much and I badly need him as a partner and most importantly as my daughter’s dad. I’ve been calling him day and night. I chatted him. I texted him. I told him to settle our problem but I didnt recieve any reply from him. He is neglecting me. He didnt even realize that he has a daughter here with me. What should I do? I NEED TO ASK HIS SUPPORT FOR MY DAUGHTER IN A LEGAL WAY. BESIDES MY DAUGHTER HAVE HIS LAST NAME AND HE ALSO SIGNED THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE. HELP
Hi, i am about to give birth this month & Im planning not to indicate the father of my child on my child’s birth certificate. Me & the father of my child separated few months ago knowing the fact that I’m pregnant. I don’t want his name be indicated because I don’t want him to take my child in the future . Also, I’m trying to avoid conflicts bec. my ex-boyfriend has a child also w/ his ex-girlfriend before me . Knowing a bit of law, not indicating the father’s name on the birth cert. will void their right & responsibility to the child, so does it mean that he is also exempted on this law (RA 9262) ?

Hello po, maraming salamat po sa mga advices na binigay ninyo. May tanong lang po ako regarding sa illegitimate children ng deceased father ko. Nanghihingi po kasi ang mother nila ng financial help sa mother ko. Ang question ko po ay obligado ba po ang mother ko or ako to provide financial support sa kanila. Regarding sa inheritance and conjugal property nila, naitransfer na po sa akin ang title ng house bago pa namin nalaman na may anak ang father sa iba. Ang totoo nyan po halos lahat ng napundar ng parents ko ay galing sa paghihirap ng mother ko. Nagretire ang father ko at the age of 45, dati syang ofw. From then on, mother ko na ang sole breadwinner at binibigyan nya ng allowance ang father ko araw-araw. Yung pala nagkaroon sya ng babae at naganak siya dito ng dalawa. Nawawalan ang mother ko ng pera, nawalanlahat ng personal nyang mga gamit dahil kailangan nyang buhayin ang anak nya sa labas. Yung allowance nyang bigay ng mother ko, pinangsusuport nya sa mga bata. Nalaman na lang namin lahat , 12 years old na eldest nya sa kabit nya, which is after na ng pagtranfer ng title ng house sa akin. Namatay ang father last 2018 after a year of dialysis. Now, yung Nanay ng anak nya contacted my mother asking support. Kaya po ask ko po kung obligated ba kami under the law . Salamat po sa pagtiyaga sa pagbasa. Mabuhay po kayo at marami pang matulungan.
Gud eve..sana po matulungan nyo kapatid ko sa prolem nya..ang kapatid ko po sabihin natin mistress sya kasi hindi cla kasal ng lalake.meron clang anak isa po 12yrs old..ngayun po ang prob po meron po syang another na babae at hiniwalayan ang kapatid ko..at putulin nya na daw yung sustento nya sa anak nya..e wala pong trabaho ang kapatid ko kasi huminto sya sa trabaho nung nabunyis sya po..ang lalake po ay isang mechanical engineer nakabase sa quatar po..at malak8 po sahod nya sa totoo lng po..anu po ang dapat gawin ng kapatid ko po..?
Hi, I Just wanna ask how can I file a case the father of my child. He stop giving support, I am 4 months pregnant and he’s working in Saudi Arabia. He is married, but they already separated. He only give support once last October 19 and then after 2 days he blocked me. What should I do? Please help, thank you!
Hello po, ako nga pala si michell single mother po ako dahil hinde kami nagkatuloyan. Anu po dapat kung gawin para ma bigyan niya nang financial support ang bata.. Ayaw niya kasing magbigay. Dati tahimik lang ako tungkol dito. Kaso na aapektohan na ang bata sa mga paasa niyang mga salita. Hinde ko naman pinagkait ang bata sa kangya. Siya pa ang nagturo sa bata para ma galit sa kanya. Last year november 2019 hiniram nila ang bata, at bibigyan daw kako nang phone, nang pauwi na ang bata sinabi niya kukunin nila sa December 8 kasi fiesta sa kanila, at sabi pa na doon din mag pasko sa kanila. Kaso lahat nang mga sinabi ay walang na tupad. January 3 kaarawan nang anak ko. Nag message ang anak ko na birthday niya. At nag reply naman ang ama nya. Ang sabi nang ama niya happy birthday. Punta siya dito sa bahay nang sabado para bigyan nang phone at dahin sa mall. At hinde naman na tuloy. Sabi busy daw siya. Ang gusto ko lang naman sana huwag niyang paasahin ang bata. Akoy nasasaktan sa mga kasinungalingan nya. Ang gusto ko sana sa maayos na proseso…12 years na ang anak ko ngayon na kahit mensan hinde nag bigay. May law po ba para dito?
Hi! I need your advice po regarding my situation right now. I and my husband got civil marriage last 2017 and we have a 2 year old son. Just this February I found out that he has an ex wife in other province and they were also church married last 2007 with two girls kids. My husband has business before aside from his work as a manager in a private firm but sad to say that his business collapsed due to mismanagement. He got debt left and right aiming to sustain his business and it didn’t work. During my pregnancy and delivery of my son he wasn’t able to give me support due to dying business but his support to his children in his ex wife were continually given despite of hardships in terms of financial sustainability. As my son grows up he stayed with us but sometimes he meet half way with his ex family due to kids requests. He gave us also support but it cannot compensate to the needs of my son. I asked him why he’s doing this he told me because i have my work and i have my salary to support my son. My questions are:
*do I have the right to demand an equal support for son?
*How many years does a couple separates to be considered that they are separated and can file a separation from his ex wife?
*Do I have any case to face regarding our marriage?
*If my husband salary is 100000 a month how much should be my son support from his salary?
*Which marriage is to be considered a lawful one?
Please help me.
Thank u
I’m a single mom here. It is truly sad to hear same and same stories of neglect of support for our children. But there is only one advice that I would like to share with you all and that is to Trust God with all your heart and soul coz He is our provider and He will guide you on your path..Pray that He enlighten the heart and mind of your ex husbands to do their responsibilities instead of cursing them. I am over 1 year of having no support from my ex and currently waiting for the fiscal’s decision on the case I filed against my daughter’s father and all throughout these waiting time, I have peace of mind in everything and all our needs are provided to us by God.
That’s good to hear, Ezra. Stay strong. We wish you all the best.
Have a good day,i just want to ask some advice , I want to file separation . we are married for almost 8 years, I am an OFW now deciding to take risk because my husband cant able to support us financially , now He was living with someone and he is not taking the responsibility to our son who is 8 years old now. No financial support from Him , not meeting my son as well. What are the cases can I file in this kind of situation and is this scenario helps if I file a separation case to be approve ?
Hi Angel. By way of general information, please refer to these discussions (in addition to what is already discussed in the article above):
* Abandonment as a Ground for Legal Separation.
* Guidelines on psychological incapacity.
Good luck.

Paano po kung live in partners lang po kayo at may isa po kayong anak. Paano ho ba ang pagreklamo doon para sa sustento ng bata kung sakaling mas inisip mo nalang lumayo para sa ikabubuti naming dalawa ng anak ko. Kasi away kami ng away po ng asawA ko. Masakit po siya magsalita halos kung anu ano na naiisip ko. Minsan nagsasakitan na ho kami dahil sa sobrang galit namin sa isat isa. Baby palAng po kasi anak namin 3 months old kaya ayoko lumaki po siya na nakikita kaming laging nag aaway. Lalo na po at mahilig magmura ang asawa ko ayoko pong naririnig ng anak ko kasi baka maapektuhan po siya habang lumalaki kaya i decided sana na kahit sustento nalang nG anak ko. Paano po ba yun makukuha ? Ty po sa makakasagot.

Hello po sir. Ask ko lang po, yung asawa ko nagkaroon ng anak nung binata
Pa siya 5yrs ago. Gusto niya panindigan yung ex niya pero ayaw ng family ng ex niya. Pinagbantaan ang asawa ko noon at buong family niya na wag na wag na kokontakin ang ex niya. Nagsama sila before nung nabuntis niya pero bumalik yung girl sa family niya dahil bata pa sila at wala oa trabaho. Mayaman family ng girl kaya pinabugbog din yung asawa ko nung nalaman na nagkakausap pa sila ng ex. Kaya simula nun wala na siya nabalitaan pa sa ex niya. Ngayon 5yrs old na anak nila. At kasal na kami at magkaka anak biglang naghahabol yung ex gf niya sa asawa ko ng financial support. Wala balita ang asawa ko sakanila magina simula noon. Ngayon lang ulit nagparamdam yung ex gf niya at naghahabol. Family to family ang problema before dahil mahirap lang family ng asawa ko. Minaliit ng family ng girl yung asawa ko at di daw nila need ng support from his family dahil kaya buhayin ng family ni girl yung anak at apo nila. We need advice po. Hindi po kalakihan ang sahod ng asawa ko.
