Fred. my husband had an affair. the girl got pregnant but gave birth to a baby girl. I earn more than him and I dont want the money I’ve worked hard for be given to the child in the event that the other party demands for support. Is there a way for me to protect what my kids should solely have? please help me. Hello Atty. Fred. my husband had an affair. the girl got pregnant but gave birth to a baby girl.

I got married (civil) to a British national in NOV 2006 in angeles pampanga, and after only 3 months he left after we had argument about his real person and never saw him again. He have threatened me through chat and email, financially and emotionally crippled me. When i heard from him late DEC 2007 only to receive email with copy of his marriage certificate to another woman in UK. And when i ask him why did he not get divorce first his reply was he never registered our marriage in UK so no reason for him to file divorce and he does not plan to come back and pay for annulment he wanted me to suffer and not be able to re-marry or have a life. I was told that if he gets divorce in UK it will be honored here. So one time i was able to scare him of bigamy and get him to talk to divorce lawyer in UK but after they sent me draft of proposed divorce and after i sent them documents they ask for i got message from his solicitors saying that my ex or husband did not go back and not pushed through with the case. He knew i do not have the capability to file case because i don't have enough money, so he just played and fooled me to believing that he was going to take care of it. What kind of law or country do we have if it can not even protect the rights of it's citizens. I am financially broke, i have one daughter from previous relationship who is in college and can not afford to file annulment or even bigamy since i do not know how he can be persecuted, it has been almost 5 years am suffering from abandonment and not being able to move on and have new life due to our Philippine laws. And because i had been in the news long time ago, i am so ashamed to even file a case afraid of what people might say. I am BEGGING Law makers please don't stop pushing divorce law, and if anyone can help me. I need advice. Is there a way for me to file bigamy and annulment without having to pay big money? Can a PAO help me? I hope that our bishops and priest consider and think of cases like mine before they say NO to divorce. I' am a catholic, but sometimes I even think of becoming a Muslim just so i can get divorce and have fair chance in life like foreigners do. May God Bless Us All.... Thank you very much.. Good Day to all.

Please give me an advice on what to do with my husband as well as his mistress. They work on the same company. I discover that they have an affair last December because my Mother caught them walking in the street holding hands. My husband told me that they already stop their affair last January but yesterday I saw pictures of them together, the girl is hugging my husband. Please let me know if that is enough to use as evidence if ever I file a case for concubinage? Do I have the rights to report them in the company they are working and should they be dismissed if the company found out that they are guilty? What if the girl is pregnant? What is the best thing should I do for them to be punished by law? I am so depressed please help me out of this. Thank you! Hi Atty Fred,

Before I met him her wife and him are already not in good terms. They have 2 children a boy and a girl. They always fight on financial problems and my bf is just thinking of their children that's why he still try to stay in the marriage. But 1 day the wife found out that his having an affair and he uses it against him. The wife wants us to end our relationship or else she will make an action for us to stop. What charges can she file against us if she cannot show any proof that were still together? Hope to hear your reply. Thank you Hi atty,

My Filipina girlfriend, who is living with me, is married but has been separated from her husband for two years now. Her husband recently found out she is living with another guy and is threatening to file an adultery charge against her. Could she go to prison if convicted, and could I also be prosecuted? Actually, my girlfriend has a marriage contract but claims it was never registered so she thinks she may not be married after all. If the marriage was not actually registered, maybe she could be legally single after all? Some advice here would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance. Hi,

" does that mean that if a husband takes in his wife again after finding out he is condoning offense? if he cohabited with her and had sex as if nothing went wrong does that mean that he is condoning the offense? is there a prescriptive period for filing an adultery case? you stated that “The criminal charge cannot prosper if the offended spouse has consented to the offense or pardoned the offenders…There is implied pardon when the offended party continued to live with his spouse even after the commission of the offense. ” does that mean that if a husband takes in his wife again after finding out he is condoning offense? if he cohabited with her and had sex as if nothing went wrong does that mean that he is condoning the offense? is there a prescriptive period for filing an adultery case?

One time while my husband is out, I print some of their emails to each other and confronted him. I told him to stop their communications and relationship. He said, "No, now that I found her again. Hayaan mo na lang ako sa aking ginagawa para sa mga nalalabi ko pang panahon dito sa mundo tutal wala naman kaming ginagawang masama and the good thing is malayo siya." Their meeting was confirmed when I secretly read the email of the woman confirming her flight details. The woman came and stayed in our house while I was on vacation for 2 months in the Philippines. Sad part here, my husband is sending her expensive gifts like jewelries, laptop, flowers, etc. My husband admits na ginagastusan niya ang mistress niya. He even said straight to my face that I should shut up my mouth or else he will leave me. We are currently living in Tucson, AZ and the woman is in Georgia. I also read the email of the woman that she is wearing an eternity ring as a symbol that she is already committed to my husband. What case should I file against the woman? Adultery, Bigamy or both? Can I get back all the things that my husband gave her in terms of monetary settlement? Atty Fred,
