I want to know what possible courses of action I can take given the following circumstances:
a) My mother is a high school teacher in a public school. My father informed me that she had already attained a Teacher III status, and according to research, she is most likely earning more that Php 25,000.00 per month. On the other hand, my father who is also a government employee is earning only Php 15,818.00 per month.
b) My mother refuses to pay for my brother's college education, which according to research amounts to Php 37,051.80. My mother had stopped paying for my brother's tuition fees since my brother's fourth year in high school. Because she refuses to pay for my brother's tuition, my father did his best to pay for the tuition expenses himself, resulting in the application of numerous loans currently leaving him with a net pay of more or less Php 4,000.00 per month.
c) My father was recently involved in a vehicular accident where he was forced to loan money to pay for hospitalization expenses. A settlement had been reached, but now my father can no longer fund for my brother's tuition fees.
My question: Is there any way by which we can demand that mother pay for my brother's tuition fees?
Your intellectual insights will be highly appreciated.
Thank you and God bless.
