I’ve been with a husband for almost 20 years and we had 7 kids, he never give child support leaving me figuring out how thing or life works out, he also abused the kids mentally telling them they shouldn’t have been born because it only an hindrance to his so called dream and and not good words . Wishing us to die and be gone like a bubble , we tried to ask for help but advice us to seek a law firm or private lawyer. We tried co parenting through out the relationship as we know that the good times we live was no longer there , co parenting through out works on me but not with him I don’t know if the illegal substance affects his mood causing him to be angry and mad often or all of the time and now we decided to separate ways but he never stop pestering me messaging me all sorts of things and calling me not so good words. And blaming me for everything even giving me a death threats.

Hello:
Based on what you shared, your situation falls under Republic Act No. 9262, otherwise known as the Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children Act of 2004. This law protects wives, former partners, and even their children from any form of abuse - physical, psychological, emotional, sexual, or economic - committed by the husband or partner.
a.) The acts you mentioned, such as verbal abuse, psychological torment, economic neglect (failure to provide child support), and especially death threats, are serious grounds under R.A. 9262. You may file a criminal complaint for violation of R.A. 9262 with the Barangay, PNP Women and Children Protection Desk, or directly at the Office of the City or Provincial Prosecutor in your area.
b.) You may also apply for a Protection Order - this can be a Barangay Protection Order (BPO), Temporary Protection Order (TPO), or Permanent Protection Order (PPO). These orders can legally prohibit him from contacting, threatening, or coming near you and your children. Once issued, law enforcement can immediately remove him from the home if needed.
c.) Regarding child support, you can file a petition for support in the Family Court to compel him to give monthly financial assistance for your children. Under the Family Code, both parents are legally obliged to support their children in proportion to their means.
d.) The use of illegal drugs may also be reported separately to the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) or police authorities, especially if it poses danger to you or your children.
e.) To ensure safety, please document all threats and abusive messages, and do not delete them. Screenshots, call logs, and messages can be vital evidence in court.
We can help you prepare the Protection Order Petition, the Criminal Complaint under R.A. 9262, and the Petition for Child Support to be filed before the Family Court. We can also assist in coordinating with local police and barangay officials to ensure your immediate safety.
