Exercise 3 – October 23, 2015

Kim Rosa is 7 months pregnant and does not have the means to support a child. The child’s father is her ex-boyfriend, Butch, who abandoned her three months before. They were not married. Kim asked for your assistance in demanding Butch Cruz to support the child she is bearing and return certain items which he previously borrowed from her apartment: an electric fan, a mini refrigerator, and a pair of slippers which belonged to Kim’s brother. Alternatively, she would accept the payment of the value of said items. As for the support, she would like to ask for P7,000.00 per month, starting this month, plus half of the expenses for childbirth. She also wants Butch to pay his agreed equal share in the rent for her apartment for the last three months before he left. According to Kim, this share amounts to P21,000.00. She also mentioned that Butch has been bugging her to return the pearl earrings, worth P12,000.00, which he gave on their first anniversary together. As she likes the earrings very much, she would like to keep them as much as possible.
