Obliging the Father to Give Sufficient Financial Support to a Son.

Hi Lawyers,

I and my wife has a 2yr.old son and legally married. We lived together after our marriage. Then, as time goes by, we encountered several problems like the financial and misunderstandings, etc. I decided to go and be separated from her because of her attitude of being possessive at all times and in everything. After the separation happened, i never failed in giving my support and providing the needs of our son like Milks, Diapers, Vitamins and even financial in my CAPACITY. The problem is, i received a letter from a Lawyer of the City Public Attorneys Office and inviting me to give an explanation to her client (my "wife") regarding with the following complaints:

1. Not providing sufficient support to my son.
2. Physically and Emotionally affronted my wife. (which is not true, maybe emotionally because sometimes i might say hurtful words against her before). i did that just because of her attitude.

After we've talked, She is demanding me an "amount" i must to give monthly, and her demand is "HINDI KO KAYA" as i computed my salary. My question is, she has the right to demand from me with the exact amount she wants? it is right and legal?

Hope someone can help me by providing advice. Thanks.

your focus should be establishing your defense now in case she files a case. make sure you are giving regular support and you will have the evidence to prove that you are doing so in case she denies it.

Dear Atty.,

Good day!

Would like to seek professional advice. I have a live in partner now and we have two children. But before we live together, he has a live in partner. They have three children. The girl brought the kids in Mindanao because that time the girl wanted to separate with him already. To cut the story short, we are giving our financial support monthly. The problem is, the girl always wanted to increase the amount of support. She always told us, sort of black mail that she will file a case to my live in partner. She will send it to the office of my partner. Ayoko ng gulo at mastress ng sobra ang partner ko kaya ako ang nakikipag usap. My partner signed the birth certificate of hisTWO kids only. He has a good job but we have plenty of monthly dues and pinagkakasya ko lang. I always prioritized the financial support kasi iba ang ugali nung girl. My question is, how much is the average amount to give as a financial support to his sons? Ayoko po kc ng gulo/ filing case kasi nakikipag usap naman kami ng maayos at nagpapadala ng monthly support sa kanila.

Awaiting for your professional advice.

Thank you.
