child support, libel

my father is a police officer and he has been lying to us for the past 18 years. he left me and 3 of my siblings to my mother WITHOUT ANY SUPPORT. it was only then that we knew that we are not his legal family when his legal wife talked to my mother telling her via facebook that she is going to sue my mother if my mother won't leave my father alone. my mother had no idea that my father was married in the first place. he even married my mother but USED A DIFFERENT MIDDLE NAME in their marriage certificate and in our birth certificate except for my youngest sibling. please help us. i had to stop my schooling to go to work and help my mother. what can we do to oblige our father for support especially financially?

A biological father has a legal duty to support his child financially even if he has never been married to, or lived with, the child’s mother. This is true even if he never had an ongoing relationship with the mother. If a man denies that he is the biological father of a child, the court can order him to have a blood test to determine whether or not he is.

sir, by blood testing, are you referring to DNA testing? if ever the court is going to order him to do that, are we going to do that too? who's going to pay for the expenses? DNA testing is very expensive

RA 9262. IF u can't get any answer go to local pao.

is child support also applicable to a person who is already working abroad? what shall i demand?please help, thanks

Hi, yes child support is applicable even provided that the children are still minor children or, even though above 18, are still attending College/University or for purposes of attending College/University
