as a legal wife, i have the ever right to ask for what is due for my son right? but how about the other party is not interested in cooperating.. if only i have the enough resources i woldnt care a thing to seek any help from my ex. how i really needed esp for the schooling. but his prerogative is he doenst have a good job. but, how come he has another family? and besides, his family has the capacity to help him out. is there any chance in getting what is due for my son? pld help..

if you live here in the US you can definitely go to court and seek for child support my husband x-wife is paying child support to him coz hes child lives w/ us so she has an obligation to pay but since my husband is earning more money than her she only pay $66 every 2 weeks thats including what she owe him for back child support after she left, but i know theres no such law there in the philippines like here, you can just try to talk to your x husband to help you out coz if he really care for his child he should be obligated to give a support no matter how much he can.

yes, we do have it here in the philippines too. it is a criminal case for a partner not to be responsible with the child's welfare but sad to say, some cases could be dismissed without any justification which is i am afraid of. i do not know where my ex is right now, wheather he already left in the states or still here. i already filed a case but he chose to ignore it. i thouht of sending a letter to the secretary of any state in america just to make myself heard. is it possible? i am so desperate..

if you know which state here in the US his at you could probably file there coz every state here has different law and im not sure if your x is american or filipino, if you already file the case i think the court should issue a restraining order for him not to get out of the country, why don't you request that.

right.. in my own understanding i have all the leverage in this case. but the reason why i feel so frustratied bec. my ex's father is a lawyer here but now based in arizona. i just really do not know why they never care to show up last hearing at the court where in fact, the case i filed is a heavy one, it's a criminal case. hwere in he could be arrested/ deported/ or hold or whatever since he is guilty already in this .. but i just dont know why, as if they're so unaffected by the "criminal case" i filed. i wish i have connections in the state of arizona. could you help me?
