The bill creates a “Spousal and Child Support Act” that guarantees financial support for spouses and children, even after children turn 18 if needed. It sets up a fast, non‑court process where the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) appoints a qualified Family Arbitrator to hear support cases, decide amounts, and enforce them. It also orders automatic salary deductions, overseas remittances, and other mechanisms, and allows penalties such as license cancellation for people who refuse to pay.
