My dear I really feel for you. Have you heard of child support? I think you're entitled to some financial support from your erstwhile husband, even if your family has returned the bride price.

Follow this link to a law firm that deals with child support issues in PH. I don't know how much they charge but call them first and make enquiries

All the best

well you won't believe my story but I have made the mistake I learned from it. I actually tot he paid my dowry cos he wanted a child but when I noticed he won't provide for d child whenever we have problems just to punish me.he paid only my dowry,dis man will be 50yrs nx year.he actually married me to cover up his marital status not that he was actually interested in the marriage.immediately he paid my dowry he started sleeping outside.he could sleep out for two days without coming bac to the house,even when my pregnancy was due.when it became too much,I started complaining to his pple,and his only sister who is a lawyer told me I didn't know him well before I married him that if I could manage him fine,if not they will allow me go wit d baby any time am ready to move on,that his brother has been living this kind of lifestyle for years. I even involved both families to talk to him to change his,even pastors to d extent that I was made to believe he has a spiritual problem.I have tried prayers and fasting but all dis didn't change him.and he always beat me up whenever I argue with him,threatening me with knife n bottle.honestly I have seen it all.I was still ready to stay cos every advise I get was to stay for d child so that he won't end up in a broken home.we don't appear anyway as husband n wife.he just paid my dowry n dumb me in the house.it was when d beeating to much that I decided to move on and have his dowry return

Then you already know you have to keep your child with you.
There's no debating that.
What you should be doing is looking for a better job and managing what you have before you get it.
You can contact child welfare services in your area and see if they make him pay up. Some people have said it works.
After all GEJ just signed the bill to make neglecting parental duty a crime. See if the implementation will work in your case and no matter how little they are able to squeeze out of him, it will go some way to feed the child at least.
