Legal Question in Family Law in Philippines

My husband is working in UAE and I am always having a hard time asking for his financial support. He's not often giving support. Is there a way I can make him give a regular financial support? We have 2 kids who are both in Highschool.

If the employment of your husband went through the POEA then you can go after his agency here and demand that part of his salary should be remitted to you. If not we may have a problem to compel him outside the Philippines. However, your option is to file a criminal case for violation of RA 9262.The deprivation of support amounts to economic violence. But this criminal case will only work out once he is already here in the Philippines.
