Child support

In Philippines
Ultimo aggiornamento: Sep 22, 2023

My question how much is the exact or estimated amount for child support? I have an 8-year-old son and his father works as chief engineer seafarer from an international company. Monthly my son receives ₱7000 every month for his food, and allowance Occasionally he gives 1,500-3000 which only happens if I beg for financial help like medicine and clothing. We don't have a formal agreement regarding this matter because use he doesn't want to talk personally or legally when it comes to child support. I paid alone for our house rental, household, Laundry, and utility bills like internet, water, and electricity. There was a time year June 2020-April 2021 when he didn't give any child support for a whole year and imagine the burden and suffering I felt during that time of pandemic. Way back in 2019-2022, my child received ₱5,000 as child support so I asked for an increase since the inflation is unbearable so from mid-2022 up to the present my son receives ₱7,000. So my question is it is reasonable, especially the necessary needs and all are now expensive? We lived together from April 2014- November 2019/5 years but I didn't receive any amount from the property he sold to think he was the one who forced us to leave the house and accused me of anything and I suffered from verbal, emotional, physical, and now economic abuse. Does anyone here can help me with my case? I seek help from lawyers here in my city but I guess I asked the wrong person and I'm so frustrated right now in my situation since almost 4 years now there's been no justice for me and my son. by the way, we're not married we just lived together for 5 years as common law and my son is an illegitimate son since he was annulled on his marriage when we met.

The amount of support is determined by the twin factors of (1) the capacity of the giver and (2) the needs of the recipient. Thus, it would vary depending on the circumstances of the parties involved.
