kailangan ba may sustento din ang asawa kapag naghiwalay na?

magandang gabi mga atty., ung kapatid ko pong lalake may asawa at anak (9 mos. old). kasal sila sa huwes. ang kapatid ko ay kapapasa lang sa board exam ng architecture at nakapag trabaho sa hindi naman malaking company. maliban sa 1st job po yun parang family business lang po ung napasukan nya kaya may kaliitan po talaga ang pasahod sa kanya. ang asawa nya po nag-aaral ulit na nursing ngayon. sa bata pa lang po kulang na ang sahod ng kapatid ko kaya hindi nya po talaga kaya pa papag-aralin ulit ung asawa nya. ngayon po nagagalit ang asawa nya at gsto nang makipaghiwalay.. pero ang gsto po ng pamilya ng babae kahit hiwalay na sila ang oobligahin nila ang kapatid ko na mag-paaral pa rin sa babae. ngayon po kailangan nila ng 50k sa school ung kapatid ko ang hinihingian nila na wala naman po talagang pera.. pag naghiwalay po sila dapat po ba ung bata lang ang sustentuhan ng kapatid ko o pati ung nanay ng bata?

a spouse is still entitled to support even if separated. to protect himself, he has to establish that she abandoned the family home so that she will not be entitled to support. to do that, a petition in court has to be filed.

Hi Atty LLL! Just curious: if the legal spouse(wife/husband?)is entitled to support (how much?); is the exmistress (of a separated husband) who bore a child with him entitled to it too (of course the child is entitled) and how much? Sounds complicated actually, but good to know the legalities of it all. Thanks in advance!

thanks attyLLL, sa case po ng brother ko ung wife nya ang may kagustuhan na maghiwalay sila ang reason nya "basta ayaw nya na".. entitled pa rin po ba sya kahit sya na mismo ung umaayaw verbal nga lang ang hiwalayan nila.

the presumption is that the one who leaves the family home is the one who abandoned. if he wants to be released from liability, he has to file a case in court for legal separation or separation of property.

forest, there is no formula used. mistress has no right to support.

gud am atty.
sa akin naman po atty ay yung wife ko po ang lumayas dito sa bahay namen, pero po nung nagfile po siya ng RA9262 sinabi niya po ay pinalayas daw siya ng mother ko which is hindi naman po totoo. after namen mgkahiwalay madami po ako nalaman tungkol sa ex-wife ko na nakarelasyon at my mga nangyri pa sa kanila. ngaun po may bago na nman ng karelasyon yung ex-wife ko pero kahit ganun tuloy pa din yng mpagbibigay namen ng sustento sa anak ko. wala po ako work pero nakakpag bgay po kame ng 2k every month, this feb at march lng po nangyri na 1k lng ang nabigay namen dahil nagipit din po kame dahil wala pa ako work. tanong ko po atty ano po ba pwede gawin para mawala na yng file nia para sa akin na RA9262 lalo pa ngayon na my bago na siyang karelasyon.
maraming salamat po...

if you have proof that she is having sexual relations with another man, counter charge adultery.

not sure what she said in her complaint, but if the person who forced her out was your mother than vawc should not apply.

provide proof that you were giving support and that you did not intend to use the lack of support to control her actions.

maraming salamat po atty.
ano pba ang pwede kpo gawin pra po mkita ko nman ult yng baby kpo? kse sa twing mgtetext po ako pra itanong kng kailn ko pwede mkita yung bata dpo nia ako sinasagot. ang iniisip kpo ang gs2 nia mangyri ay ako ang pumunta dun sa bahay nila kng gusto ko makita yung bata. may mga listahan po kme sa tuwing nagbibigay po kame ng sustento. so atty paano po kng di ako makakuha ng proof that they have sexual relation? hahayaan kna lng po ba na ituloy nia yng pakikipag relasyon nia sa ibat ibang lalaki? tpos po pag wala na sia boyfriend ay kame nman po ng bagong girlfriend ko(pero di po kame ngsasama) ang guguluhin nia nagbabanta pa po siya na idedemanda nia ako dahil po nagkaanak ako sa bagong girlfriend ko. ano po ba ang pwede ko gawin atty?

you should focus on filing your counter affidavit.

try to find proof that she is living in with her boy friend. it's up to you if you will let it be.

Is this applicable even if the reason of the girl abandoning the family home is she was forced by the situation say, she is being taken for granted and suspect that there is a third party involve but the boy won't just admit.
Thanks

unless abandonment is proven, the spouse is entitled to support. to my mind, being taken or granted and suspicion of infidelity without proof will not be sufficient

Another thing, the wife leaves the house then later on tried to return to their house but the husband already won't allow and has changed the locks.

This also constitutes abandonment on the part of your husband.

Hi AttyLll, thanks for the response! Am learning a lot from your legal advice on various legal problems posted. Feeling ko legal researcher ako. More power to you,AttyLll!

Thanks Atty!

asking for some info lang po atty. i left our house po kasi after I found out that my husband was having a marital affair and I found pa n dinala nya ung babae sa bahay namin. So I felt insulted and parang nandidiri na akong mag stay sa bahay namin. Ung 2 anak po namin are living with my in laws since malapit po ung school nla doon and since po kasi nag aral ung mga anak q sila n halos ang gumagastos sa tuition fee ng mga anak ko. Sinsabi po ng husband ko nagbibigay sya sa father in law ko I don't have any idea if how much po. I want to ask po since i left our house entitled po ba ako ng support ng asawa ko because plagi nya n lang sinsabi na wala syang pera and ever since po di niya sinsabi skin kung magkno ang salary nya every month. Dumating din po sa point n nawalan siya ng trabaho and ako nag provide para sa family namin only to find out na nambabae p rin siya pero walang binibigay for his family. Anu po ang dapat kung gawin kasi po balak ko i transfer ang mga anak ko sa ibang school pero di daw siya magbibigay dahil nga daw meron akong work, but hindi nman po enough yung sahod ko for my children.

base dun sa mga naunang comment ni atty. kung magsasampa ng kasong abandonment ang asawa mo mapatunayan yun sa korte mawawalan ka ng karapatan for a support. but until then you are still entitled.

Just curious question attorney. If the couple is living separately, the spouse is still entitled for a support. But how about if the marriage is already annulled or legal separation is already granted by the court. Entitled pa din ba ang babae sa support from the father? Just to enlightened us your readers.

jrhose, is your husband still jobless now?

concepab, after annulment, no more support. in legal sep, it depends on the circumstances and decision of the court.

good evening po atty...answer lng po dun sa question nyo if my husband is still jobless?No he's not po...he's working as a training manager in BPO company

Atty,sorry to butt-in..relevant po kasi ung case ng friend ko. his wife left the house 5years ago but she get to see their kids from time to time.. Their two daughters stayed with my friend's parents(OFW po ung friend ko). Every month po nagpapadala ung friend ko ng sustento para sa mga bata. last september po kinuha ng mother ung dalawang bata at nilipat niya sa ibang school. still, continuous pa din ang sustento nila. Then recently, the wife is demanding for an increase po sa sustento.(wife po is unemployed at may affair na po sa ibang lalaki). Ano po pwede gawin ng friend ko para makuha niya po custody ng mga bata since mas gusto po ng mga bata magstay sa house ng father nila. Kung kusang sasama ang mga bata sa father nila, is there any grounds po ba na pwede ikaso ung wife sa father ng mga bata?

jrhose, you can send a demand letter for support, and if none, a complaint for economic abuse at the prosecutor's office.
