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.

Hello Atty, I am seeking for legal advice about my children’s custody I hope you can help me. Here is my situation: I am previously married and that marriage is already annulled. Since my husband and I separation which was 4 years ago he never contacted our kids, never showed up to see our kids nor supported them financially. I do not even know his whereabouts. I have moved on from my previous relationship and I am now here in the US for 8 mos. I left my kids with my parents and I am working on getting my kids here. The problem is now that my ex found out about about my kids leaving for the US soon he now wants to get my kids from my parents and wants to stop the kids from leaving. My questions are

1. Can I stop him from getting my kids away from my parents?
2. If yes, what are the legal steps I can make to stop him given that I am outside the country.

Thank you very much for you time in reading my post atty. I really appreciate it. I hope you can help me with my problem

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.

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 attorney,

i just want to ask about child support, i am not married and the father of my child is not giving us the right proportion amount of the compensation that he is receiving. he is not paying attention to the amount that we had agreed to give us monthly.he only deposits one thousand five hundred pesos to my account as his support. he didnt even pay attention for the financial support that i am asking. what should be the right thing to do regarding this matter?

thank you very much

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.
