hi! i am a father of a 5 year old son who lives with me right now. just yesterday i contacted the mother ( i considered my ex wife), and we both agreed to file for an annulment. by the way she is in singapore and i believe she is living with someone else already. she said she'll share for the expenses of my son but then i heard from her relatives and friends that given the right timing she'll bring my son abroad. is there any way that i can keep my son with me? i am working here in makati, and i am capable of bringing him up. do you have any idea on how much money should i prepare for the annulment case?i am also thinking on what grounds should i file. i have emails as proof of her infidelity.
pls help enlighten me on what to do..

if you are married, you have a right to custody also. allow her to visit but you can validly refuse to give custody without a court order. she will have to file a case, and you can contest as best you can.

note that there is a maternal preference for children below 7 but you have the opportunity to contest by showing good reasons why she should be denied custody. if you can drag it out until he is more than 7, your son's choice will be given weight by the court.

annulment requires a valid ground. in my experience if the ground is not psycho incapacity, the cost can be around P50k, 150k if for psycho incapacity. good luck.

atty, i received a call from her yesterday,she sent money for my son and since i am capable of raising my son alone i refused to accept such allowance for my son. I am afraid that if i accept that amount of money from her, she'll have the grounds to get the custody of my son. upon researching, i found out that immorality is a ground for child custody. those emails sent to me, is that enough evidence?

emails can be good basis depending on what they state and if you can prove that it came from her. living with someone else can be confusing to the child. you also have to establish that you oppose their being together otherwise you may be deemed to consent to it.

i don't see any problem with receiving support for your child.

atty, those emails were sent to me by a girl from singapore who was the fiancee of my wife's lover. she happened to know the password of the lover and everytime my ex wife sends him an email she forwards it to me... will the court honor such evidence for annulment and child custody? if not, what other grounds should i consider in filing for an annulment case?

zild, no, those emails are private communication and they were acquired illegally. try to get email admissions from her or even better, testimony from people in singapore that they are living together.

basti, you should visit a lawyer to have her whole marital history reviewed to see if there is a basis to have her marriage annuled.

you should be aware that having sexual relations with a married woman is considered adultery. good luck.

being seen publicly is not adultery, but going to motels repeatedly or living together can be considered evidence of adultery. the normal evidence is if the girl gets pregnant.

she can move out without need of legal remedy, and bring her child too. if she can prove those matters you mentioned, then it can be basis for psychological violence under ra 9262.

what i mean is she can move out of the home without a court order. she can bring her child.

separately, she can file a criminal case against the husband. the insults that she endured can be proof of psych violence. she has to prove it first before the prosecutor and then the court. good luck.

Good Evening, I am planning to file Ra9262 against my husband who has a very high position in the govt. He filed an annulment case against me last 2008. wE HAVE 5 KIDS ON WHICH 3 ARE STILL MINORS. He wants my kids to go and spend the summer with him so that they could avail of all the dependents benefits or else we have to pay daw for evrything that they have provided us. He is one of the dept heads in UN Geneva. But accdg to what I have researched, it doesn't go that way. Is this a kind of threat so he can get our kids to go to Geneva? Do I have the right to disagree and have the final say?I am their Guardian since he left, and by the way he has a kabit with 2 kids who resides in the Us now and accdg to my eldest child he now has a new girlfriend , working in the same company,help please

lovely, you can oppose his petition for annulment by actively defending against it. if any of your children are below 7 years old, then they should stay with you. he cannot compel you to turn them over and has to file a petition for custody to do so. the support he gave is not refundable; as the wife you are co-owner of all your properties including his salary.

does he still give support? if he is using this issue to manipulate you, you can file a case for economic abuse under ra 9262. repeated marital infidelity can also be a basis, but harder to prove unless you have evidence such as birth certificates of his other children. good luck.
