Hi,

You can file a criminal case against your husband for violation of RA 9262 (Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children) . Refusal to give financial support is a form of economic violence which is punished under the RA 9262.

You may not want your husband to go to jail but filing a criminal case against him is the most effective coercive legal process to get financial support from him as soon as possible.

Regards,
