@malcoxx - no law or court of law can require you to give support in an amount beyond that which you can give. In fact, support doesn't always refer to monetary support. Support could be given in kind, if that is the only type of support that you can give.

 

from the Civil Code of the Philippines -

 

Art. 290. Support is everything that is indispensable for sustenance, dwelling, clothing and medical attendance, according to the social position of the family.

 

Support also includes the education of the person entitled to be supported until he completes his education or training for some profession, trade or vocation, even beyond the age of majority. (124a)

 

Art. 291. The following are obliged to support each other to the whole extent set forth in the preceding article:

 

(1) The spouses;

 

(2) Legitimate ascendants and descendants;

 

(3) Parents and acknowledged natural children and the legitimate or illegitimate descendants of the latter;

 

(4) Parents and natural children by legal fiction and the legitimate and illegitimate descendants of the latter;

 

(5) Parents and illegitimate children who are not natural.

 

Brothers and sisters owe their legitimate and natural brothers and sisters, although they are only of the half-blood, the necessaries for life, when by a physical or mental defect, or any other cause not imputable to the recipients, the latter cannot secure their subsistence. This assistance includes, in a proper case, expenses necessary for elementary education and for professional or vocational training. (143a)

 

 

Art. 296. The amount of support, in the cases referred to in the five numbers of article 291, shall be in proportion to the resources or means of the giver and to the necessities of the recipient.

 

Art. 297. Support in the cases referred to in the preceding article shall be reduced or increased proportionately, according to the reduction or increase of the needs of the recipient and the resources of the person obliged to furnish the same.

@ Nightingale - Thank you very much for your immediate reply! I truly appreciate it!

 

I just have a more specific question, do you think the amount I mentioned above (6k) suffice? Provided the fact that I earn 33k a month? Also, I sent her Maxicare cards for both of them, which covers them medically for 100k for a year, that is a form of support as you mentioned above.

 

Hope to get a favorable response. :)

In addition to the reply of nightingale and to directly address the query of malcoxx, I strongly suggest that you increase your cash support to your daughter. She is your child afterall. Dont you think its better to give more than 6k? If you think about it, 6k is too small to consider it as a support. Why not give something like 10k a month and you get to pay 75% of her school fees and expenses. You are earning 33K a month.

 

Sometimes the answer to your query is more practical and moral than it is legal. I strongly suggest that if you support your child, support her with everything you got. Afterall, you are one of the reasons why she is alive. You probably dont want your daughter to slap you in the face for the fact that she became a product of a broken home and that the support that you gave her is less than she deserves.

 

Hope I can at least enlighten you.

After considering the suggestions of wattleferdz and nightingale maybe you also try to compute how much would be the actual "cost of living" of your daughter based on her needs. Try to do the computation with her mother, or with your daughter, else, just do it yourself. You may start with the yearly expenses like clothes, shoes, personals, tuition fees, school supplies; then the monthly expenses like school service; then the daily expenses like food, baon. Then try to consolidate the figures to arrive at a figure that may approximate the average monthly expense. Then divide it by two - the other half being shouldered by her mother. You may deduct from your share half of the provisions for medical expense if you provide her with an hmo card. Then, go over your figures and update after one year, for sure the amount would increase as the needs of your daughter increase. You may also consider opening a joint account with your daughter so you can remit the amount directly to her and she will know you are sharing for her support.

 

In the remote possiblity that her mother would ask for your share in the rental of the place she is staying, you offer to take custody of your daughter, it might be less expensive even if you have to hire a helper. A custody of your daughter will result in her mother having to remit to you her share in the support - a reversal in the situation. If you are just living near the school of your daughter, you may consider taking custody of her half of the month or half of the year, with her mother taking custody the other half of the period.

as you said, bibigyan namin sila ng notice, this coming jun15.

 

eh pano po kung ma-evict, can we recover yung arrears nila? or considered write-off na yun?

Depende sa OS.

 

Pero kung Windows XP try mo rightclick ung "scandal" folder tapos sharing and security. Tapos sa sharing tab click mo lang "Make the folder private". Kaya lang wag mo kalimutan ung admin password mo.

Wattleferdz and Linux Disto , appreciate your immediate reply. I understand that indeed it is more practical rather than legal if the mother is not twisting my arm. I am trying to make ends meet as well, but your inputs are all very well taken.

 

Hopefully I could get this ironed out very soon.

of course makukuha mo arrears mo sa tenant nyo kung may ipambabayad yan... kaya kung may gamit sya sa bahay na mahahalaga agad mo nang kasuhan at hingi ka ng attachment sa mga gamit na mahahalaga para di makaalis at maka pag hakot ng gamit..... or makapag benta...kakailanganin mo na ng abugado nyan..
