Hi sir, I am a mom of a 2 yr old child. I got pregnant when I was 17, gave birth at 18 & my ex that time is still studying at around the age of 26 he’s now turning 30 and has never provided us support because he never had a job. We used to be together until things got bad when I started working, he admitted that he used drugs , I caught him spending my own money for gambling & drinking. I broke up w/ him and threw him out of our house. Since then, he never improved his lifestyle, still got no job and live w/ his parents & still a drunkard. I am having a fear that my son could grow up just like him if he still sees his father like that when he grows older. The father is demanding some time w/ his son, I give him the liberty of getting the child once a week but then, he abused it. He used to keep on texting me that he want’s me back, calls up my office, calls me bad things whenever he gets his son from our house. Things got ugly when I banned him from coming in our house & hides from him, He bangs our gate every saturday morning and shouts at me. It caused trauma to me & to my child. Now, my parents decided to just give the child to him every now & then for the sake of diplomacy but now we’re having a hard time getting the child back every night. I always have to argue w/ him & fetch the child up myself from their house. I badly want to stop this visitation rights thing w/ my child & his father because my son is liking his dad so much & even shows some bad manners that he might have gotten from his father. I want to know my rights are. & how can i waive his visitation rights since he’s not doing any good for my son… Pls help me sir. thanks.

Atty,
I just wanted to be educated with the issue child support..I am a single parent I have a child from a married man. He has 2 kids before he had a child with me, then within a year after I gave birth he and his wife had their 3rd child. The man and I talked on how to raise my child. I know he is not earning that much, but we made a certain arrangement that we can share for my Kid’s needs ( well you know Milk to be precise,)not even 50% or should I say 20% of his salary. There was no written agreement for monthly allowance for my Child though. For the past 3 yrs the total months for the allowance is only 1 ½ yrs. Most of the expenses is on my side. (Hospitalization,check ups, birthdays etc.) There were times he visits ‘our’ child only when he’s going to give the allowance. With my status as a bread winner I cannot provide all the needs of my child unless he helps voluntarily. Is it possible that I can demand for monthly allowance without legal consent? or what should I do so he can help with the “responsibility” ( without his wife knowing). Not that I care that we’ll be back together, I only need him to support me support the child, if not father per se but at least financial issue. I’d truly appreciate your response on these queries. Thank you so much

have nice time to all… can you please help me what will i do if the mother of my niece is now getting the kid in our custody while the kid is still in schooling…. the kid is only 3 years old. this is what the story is… the boy was brought by my mother to philippines when he was 6 months with the consent of the mother of the boy named kenji lhorayne. so the boy was on our custody until he was about to 2years of age then suddenly his mother brought him to cavite then 4 months later the mother gave back the boy to our custody last may with the full consent of Ms Lolita Montoya the mother of the kid. then after few months there has been a misunderstanding between the father and the mother of the kid (they are not married) due to some personal points. Now the mother wants to get her kid to our custody but my brother’s advice was not to give the kid(kenji) without any arrangements because the mother threatened my brother(father of the kid) that she will not let anybody from our party including the father of the kid to see or visit kenji and she said that she will keep kenji away from us. please give me some advice what to do… please please
