Topic: I am a domestic helper here in Singapore. My husband is in Saudi Arabia and since he left last 2011, he has not been giving any support to us. We have an adopte child. I found out that he already has another woman in the Philippines. What should I do? Do I have the right to ask for financial support from him? And how about the child, even if he is an adopted child, he is using my husband's surname. What should I do?

Ang mag-asawa, sa ilalim ng ating batas ay may obligasyong itaguyod at suportahan ang isa't-isa. Mutual support ang tawag dito. Ngayon, kung pareho kayong nagta-trabaho, ang mutual support ay right and obligation pa rin ninyo sa isa't isa at sa inyong mga supling.

Ang isang batang inampon ay may karapatang tumanggap ng suporta mula sa kanyang mga adoptive parents, pareho din ng karapatan ng isang legitimate na anak. So, kahit na adopted lamang at hindi ninyo biological child iyong inyong anak, may obligasyon pa rin kayo sa kanya na suportahan siya.

Kung ang asawa mo ay hindi na nagpapadala para sa inyong anak, siya'y hindi tumutupad sa kanyang obligasyon. Sa ilalim ng ating batas, ito ay maaaring maging sanhi ng pagsasampa ng isang kasong sibil para singilin at pilitin siyang magpadala ng suporta. Ito rin ay maaaring maging sanhi ng pagsasampa ng isang complaint na criminal sa ilalim ng batas na Violence against women and their children.

Sa ngayon, ang mga lalaking nangangaliwa ay maaaring kasuhan ng kriminal dahil sa pagtanggi nilang sumuporta sa kanilang mga anak. kailangang ikaw ay kumuha ng abogado dito sa Pilipinas o di kaya't maghain ng sumbong sa pulis o sa tanggapan ng Public Prosecutor.
