HE PROMISED AGAIN THAT THEY RELATIONSHIP IS FINISHED BUT AGAIN I FOUND OUT THEY STILL CONTINUE THEY RELATIONSHIP UN TILL NOW AND MY HUSBAND PLANNING TO FILE ANNULMENT WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE...

I would like to ask some questions po sana about my case. I had a boyfriend, who was separated from his wife (not yet legal), we were together for almost a year, naging friends pa kami ng ex wife niya and keep telling me don’t give up on her ex husband. Until my BF and I were fighting more often then I found out na nakikipagbalikan siya sa wife niya behind my back. On and off nagging relationship namin, I kept giving him a chance kasi sabi niya wala na talaga sila. Until one day, he admitted to me na sila na ulit because his family kept pushing him to her. So we broke up again, but my EX is still communicating with me and we still see each other. When the wife found out about it, binaligtad ako ng EX ko at sinabi ako daw ang pilit naghahabol. Few weeks ago, the wife of my EX Boyfriend posted and sent messages to my mom’s FB friends malicious things about me because my EX Boyfriend (Her husband) told her lies about me. Hindi ko po siya pinatulan as advised na rin po by my family. Later on, my EX BF asked for forgiveness at naging kami ulit. I trusted him again, that he will not hurt me and he said he’ll do everything para maging legal kami. All of a sudden, nagbago isip niya and I got so angry so I told his wife na kami pa rin. His wife understood my side. Then I found out na nakipaghiwalay siya sa EX ko. My EX BF said he will send messages to my FB Friends about us. He kept on harassing me thru call and text messages. And even said magiiskandalo siya ditto sa office.
My question is, since I was emotionally affected also by the situation, my rights po ba ko magfile ng case sa kanila dalawa (ex. Anti Violence against Women and Children/Cyber Crime Law/Libel/Public Scandal) or kung sila magfile ng case laban pos a akin, may laban po ba ako? Sana po mabigyan ninyo ako ng advice.

Thank you so much po.

Hello Atty. I hope you can help me. I just need a lawyer's advice. I want to sue my EX-BF. Can I use RA 9262 Psychological Violence against him? For the reasons at the time when he got me pregnant he wanted me to perform abortion. He bought Cytotec in Quiapo and gave it to me then every day (last year) he always text me to ask if I already took the medicine. He said, he can't give his name to the child because he is already married. I had so much stress from that. I didn't agree with him. He also told me he already have another case from his previous girlfriend and also have another son. For me to keep quiet he gave financial support though not enough for my baby's needs. I even kept it secret to my parents until now about who the father of my child is. I don't know how to tell them. Last May, I caught him having another affair and it gave me another stress. I was so depressed and it was only 3 months after I had given birth so I was still suffering from post natal depression. It lasted till August. I even helped him to fix his marriage because his wife caught him flirting with another woman. He was trying to make me believe that If I won't help him I would be the one who will cause his family to be broken apart. I kept my silence but it was so hard that I wanted to tell the whole world about my situation. I wanted to tell my dad about it but I'm so afraid he'll get HIGH Blood pressure if he finds out the truth. Not until last October, I read all his conversations here on FB and I was so shocked that aside from me there were still several women he had a relationship and continuously till now. I was so devastated and so much hurt. I didn't know what to do my heart feels heavy and I feel the anguish till now. I called him after I found out, I told him I already know the truth but he denied it. I posted it here on FB because I feel like, I'm really going crazy and I don't know how to deal with it and tell my parents. I sent messages to his siblings telling them I can't really bare those nasty things that their brother is doing to me. (I met his family once that made me believe he was still single.) After that he called me and told me to fix things with him? I said: "What for?", I just want him to recognize my baby. He said, how can he support my baby if I'm going to tell the truth to his family and even to my family. He also said, by doing that I would ruin his family. His sister even called me, and said please don't message the wife of my brother... I was shocked because I didn't even do that. I also received a text message from him telling me that I was the reason his life is ruined and his wife trying to kill herself. He even sent me an email telling me to wait for my KARMA. He was trying to make me the VILLAIN, where in fact my poor baby and I were the victims of his evil deeds. He just want to save himself. Please give me advice. Thanks a lot!

My two uncles almost killed my father, but my father won't do some legal process because they were his brothers. I'm so angry sometimes, I would burst my feeling out. One day, my one uncle heard me retelling what they did to my father to my cousin. Then he came up to my house, shouted at me and rudely pointing at me. As if he wanted to do the same thing he did to my father with me. How can I protect my father who is now weak and myself?

You may file a case for violation of RA 9262 (Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children Act of 2004) against the father of your child due to his negligence of providing financial support (economic abuse) to your son. If the father of your son is living here in the Philippines, this case will be expedited with less complications. Please consult or inquire with a lawyer (DOJ Public Attorney's Office 929-9010; 929-9436-37 or a private lawyer - we recommend the lawyers non-government organization SALIGAN c/o Lizel Mones 426-6001 loc. 4858-60) for more assistance on this matter. Thank you.

Hello po good day. I would like to ask if I can demand any support from my husbands' family. My husband died four years ago, last January 2009. We had 2 sons ages 4 yrs. old and 9 yrs. old now. Since he died the family of my husband never gave any support from us, we are legally married. The family is more financially capable then me, im was worried because my two sons' needs were getting higher most especially in their education. I want that the family of their father have a counter part in sending to school. Do I have the right to demand from them? Please enlighten me of what to do. Thank you.

Good day atty. gusto ko lng po sana itanong kung ano po ang magiging parusa sa may kaso na r.a 9262.. sa kaso po na psychological at emotional violation...maraming salamat po!!

hello atty. Good day..My sister was a victim of Republic Act 9262 but she is not willing to complain or seek help in the PNP womens desk/DSWD and even in the Barangay because of fear and probably she is intimidated by her husband. Her husband is a drug dependent and she usually hit physically. May I ask you if my mother/sisters can file a complain regarding this?.. Thank you
