May obligasyon pa rin ba ang tatay na magsuporta sa anak kapag hindi inacknowledge?

Paano po mangyayare sa anak ko na hindi inacknowledge sa birth certificate ng asawa ko? Nagkaron kami ng anak pero di kami kasal. May karapatan pa rin po ba sya sa supporta? Thanks po.

Typically, kahit hindi kasal sa isa't-isa ang mga magulang, basta't recognized at acknowledged ng lalaki ang bata, puedeng dalhin ng bata ang pangalan ng kanyang ama at puede siyang humingi ng support.

Kahit naman hindi acknowledged or recognized ang bata, puede pa rin naman humingi ng support. Iyon nga lang, dudulog kayo sa husgado. Una, patutunayan ninyo through DNA evidence na ang bata ay talagang anak nga noong sinasabing ama. Pangalawa, kung napatunayan na na ang bata ay anak nga niya, patutunayan naman na may kakayanan siyang mag-suporta sa bata (kasi kung walang trabaho o may sakit, paano naman susuporta ang lalaki, diba?), kailangan ding magbigay ng ebidensiya kung magkano ang kailangang suporta ng bata at kung magkano ang kayang ibigay na suporta ng ama.

So, the short answer is, every child is entitled to support from his or her parents. In the case of a child that is not acknowledged or recognized, the child needs to prove that he is the child of the purported father, and then the capacity to give support needs to be proven.
