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.

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..

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,

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.

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!
