Legal Question in Family Law in Philippines
Hi good afternoon! I'm a single mom of 2 boys,aged 31/2 and 2. I'm not married but we stated in their birth certificate that we are. I would like to ask if I can get financial support from the parents of the father of my kids? My ex just turned 21 last October and he is studying right now. I went to the Barangay Captain and ask for help but they become 1 sided because the captain was a close friend of my ex's parents. I went to the Public Attorney's Office and they sent my ex 2 letters but my ex just ignored it. As of now my kids are staying with my ex for almost a month because I ask them to take care of the kids for 2 months because I cannot provide their needs for the meantime because I already advanced my salary up to January 2011 to pay for their medical when the two of them got sick last September. They are giving back the kids and said that they would just buy milk for them for the whole month. Please do enlighten me. Thank you very much and Gid Bless You.

To compel him to give support file a criminal case for violation of RA9262. His failure to give support to your children amounts to economic violence.
