Answer the following items.

PROBLEM 1:
A and B got married in 2015 and had an offspring a year after. On
the fifth year of their marriage, however, A and B had lots of
misunderstandings that resulted to their separation. A then left the
conjugal home leaving their kid with his wife. Before B could file a
petition for support, A voluntarily offered his wife a monthly
support of P50,000.00 that B willingly agreed to. Upon the prodding
of B’s friends, B demanded a higher amount of support which
amounts to P200,000.00, from A considering that A has been
receiving P400,000.00 a month. How much should A give as
monthly support to B? Why?
 In the family code, Article 194 stated the things or necessary
things that children need. Article 194 is about child support. But,
according to what I had search in the internet, the law of the family
code does not stated any amount the mother or father of a child
needs to give for the child support. In Article 201 of the family
code, support shall be in proportion to the resources or the means
of the giver and the necessities of the recipient. B demand was not
appropriate and A was not obliged to give the 200,000 that B was
demanding. A should give what the child needs, but it doesn’t
necessary means that A should give 200,000. A should give what
he just can give and what the child needs.
PROBLEM 2:
A got into a vehicular accident with B due to the fault of the latter.
The case could very well fall under the crime of Reckless
Imprudence Resulting to Physical Injuries in addition to suit for
collection of money, but A opted not to file a criminal case against
B since such filing of criminal case against a church mate would
mean his dismissal from their church. Instead, A chose to file a
case for collection of sum of money only based on their agreement
that B will pay A for all the expenses incurred by reason of the
accident except for the repair of the car since B will directly pay the
same to the A’s insurance company. However, B refused to pay A
for his travel expenses and meal allowances when he travels to the
repair shop during his routine check-ups on the progress of the
repair even after A insisted on B’s agreement to pay all the
damages. Whose contention is correct? Is it B’s refusal to pay A’s
expenses during routine check-ups or is it A’s insistence on B’s
liability to pay for the expenses incurred by A? Explain your
answer.
 A file for a collection suit. Collection suit stated that the amount to
pay does not exceed in 400,000. B’s contention is correct because
they had an agreement, and it was legally decided by the law
courts. If A has another demand, A should have another
jurisdiction requested.
