Legal Advice about child support

I just seeking for advice for financial support for my son. Year 1998 I gave birth to a baby boy but I'm not merried that time as my partner went to Canada after 1 year bumalik sya para makita yung baby ko at inaya nya ko magpakasal bago sya bumalik ng Canada. October Year 2000 bumalik ulit sya dahil namatay ang father. Ang way of communication namin at phone at sulat pero habang tumatagal dumadalang na po ang tawag nya at sulat hanggan mawalan na kami ng communication.

Since 2001 until 2014 wala na po syang suporta sa amin ng anak ko o kahit sa anak ko lang. Nagpapadala yung biyanan ko pero madalang sa isang taon madalas po talagang wala kahit 1 sa isang taon.

2015 nakariceive po ako ng letter sa Lawyer ng asawa ko sa Canada at nanghihingi po sya ng devorse dahil may pamilya na po sya doon.

Ang tanong ko po kung makakakuha pa po ba ang anak ko ng Suporta simula sa taon na di sya nagbigay at ano pa pong ba ang pwede kong gawin sa asawa ko na nag abanduna sa amin?

Sana po matulungan nyo ako.

Nagpapasalamat.

There is a DEPT for unpaid support until now.

Concerning support to child it normaly ENDS around now for your son. I don't remember if it end at the 18th or 19th birthday.
In some countries it can go on to support higher STUDIES too.

NOTE! After divorse/legal separation there is no support to the mother, and BOTH parents = the mother too is suppoused to pay support to the child. The support to child is splited between the parents depending of capacity, so it's possible one parent pay all.
Have in mind though the living costs in Canada are much higher, which reduce the support capacity, so you can't just compare earning sizes.

Thank you for your advice.

Actually I did not response to the letter of his lawyer as I need to seek for an legal advice.

My son is 18 year old now my husband abundon my son when he's 3 years old.  I you think I need to demand from the year that he abundon us?  

My problem is I dont have enough money to make a demand or case for him.

Thanks again

Good so you don't write something, which can be used against you.

What does the letter say?

Yes. The support end now/soon, so demand the dept.
I don't know if it's a time limit in the Philippines.
(In my home country it's max 10 years back, BUT the period is extended if money is asked for during the period.)

In the Philippines you can ask if PAO assist you.

He is in Canada, so it's Canadian law, I believe that's HARDER for the father than Phil law. Philippine law can't reach him anyway, except if he come to Phils.
Perhaps the Canadian officials assist with the LEGAL part for free or for a rather small fee. You can for instance search at Internet or ask the Canadian embassy how to do.
(In my home country it's enough* to send a demand form plus 1600p, which can be demanded from the other too. If the other don't protest, then the officials handle taking money and send it to the demanding.
*If protested, then the demanding need to prove he is father.)

Thank you very much for the adviced.
