Hi anita,

Apologies for late reply

My mum is not his ex wife, because they are not legally divorced. They just live like ones. So there’s no spousal support, because there’s no legal procedure between their matters. There’s no legal requirement for him to pay for us, it will only be there if we present a case through court about all this story. It will be a very strict requirement for him if they actually get divorced. Under pressure, I sometimes used to wish they were divorced. It’s a bad thing for a child to wish that for their parents, i’m sorry. Plus, there’s no specific child support procedure here, either. You might or might not know that in Asian cultures, mostly, the families are supposed to stay together(as in parents have to keep their children even after they’ve turned 18, and then children have to keep their parents too even after they get married and have kids). This is an unnecessary culture, in my view. But it is what it is.

Still, thanks for your supportive words. Stay healthy
