You are entitled to support from your husband. On the other hand, you can initiate a criminal complaint for violation of RA 9262 known as violence against woman and their children. The acts and omissions of your husband by way of failing to give you support and having an extra-marital affair (and siring a child) constitute economic and psychological violence, respectively.
