Hi. I hope you could help me.

 

My friend has a lawyer husband who she claims is cheating with his secretary(whats new?). From what I learned, nothing sexual is happening between the lawyer and the mistress (if we can call the other woman that). They do however go out of town together, go to bars and restaurant together and flirt at the office.

 

A confrontation has happened between my friend and the secretary. The secretary still refused to leave her work and the lawyer don't want to fire her claiming the secretary might file a labor issue (yeah right!). The secretay seems to be benefitting financially from the relationship hence she wants to stay in that office.

 

What could my friend do? What leverage could she get? Especially since nothing sexual is happening between the two "lovebirds".

 

the story sounds familiar.

 

1. if he is an associate, junior or senior, the wife can always talk to the partner in charge for the legal personnel and also the partner in charge for the non-legal personnel.

2. if he is a partner in the firm, then she can talk to the managing partner if not the named partner

 

and request if a movement is possible.

 

in the end, what matters is what the wife ultimately want - fire her or leave him?

 

in any event, they can attend marriage counselling sessions to discuss their issues.

I got a question..... :boo:

 

My Friend's brother's father is a british born Australian permanent resident with properties in Adelaide. He is the legitimate father of my friends brother as his signature is affixed in the birth certificate. The father has ceased contact with his son. The son is currently 24 years old and he was born in Dec 1982.

 

Does he have a right to claim British citizenship by blood or an Australian citizenship?

 

What steps does he need to accomplish?

 

If he was born overseas (outside Australia) to an Australian parent, is he an Australian citizen?

 

He is eligible to apply to become an Australian citizen by descent if he meets the following three requirements:

 

* one of natural parents was an Australian citizen at the time of your birth

* under 25 years of age OR were born between 26 January 1949 and 15 January 1974

* of good character if you are over 18

 

Please note: If parent became an Australian citizen by descent, he or she must have been present in Australia for periods totalling two years at some time in their life for you to apply for Australian citizenship.

 

How to register as an Australian citizen by descent?

 

To apply to be registered as an Australian citizen by descent, complete the five steps:

Step Action

1 Check that you are eligible to apply for Australian citizenship by descent

 

2 Fill in Form 118, Application for a registration of Australian citizenship by descent and send it with the fee and supporting documents to our office.

 

3 Include all supporting documents.

 

4 If you have lived in any country for a total of 1 year or more in the last 10 years (except Australia), you must get a police certificate from the authorities in that country. Police certificates are not required for persons under the age of 16 years. Refer to Form 47P.

Form 47P Character requirements penal clearance certificates (141KB PDF file)

 

5 Check for nearest office for lodgement details.

 

Note: There is a fee of AUD$110 as listed on Form 990i.

Processing generally takes several weeks.

 

What supporting documents are required?

Form 118 outlines the documents required to support your application. These include:

 

* Originals of the full birth certificate of the person to be registered, showing the details of natural parents

* Original evidence that at least one natural parent was an Australian citizen at the time of birth of the person to be registered (full birth certificate or certificate of Australian citizenship)

* For applicants who have a natural parent who acquired Australian citizenship by descent – 2 years legal residence in Australia by a natural parent.

 

You may also need to provide the following documents if applicable: original evidence of change of name, custody order of a court of law or court order of guardianship, death certificates of the Australian citizen natural parent.

 

Documents in languages other than English must also be accompanied by an official English language translation.

In Australia, translations should be conducted by NAATI accredited translators.

I have question

 

my friends wife(now separated with him) got pregnant with another man and his wife now living with that man.... the question is gusto n nya pawalan bisa ang kasal nya pero paano pwede n b sa legal separation ang nangyari sa kanya with his wife.. pra kung makakita sya ng ipapalit sa wife nya eh pwede nya pakasalan...yun legal separation ba pag na grant ay pwede magpakasal uli yun friend ko... thanks

[jlucas03]

What I know is dapat Annulment and not Legal Separation. Pag annulment eh pwede ka na magpakasal sa iba. Legal Separation doesn't afford you that kind of option.

 

BTW, I'm not a lawyer. Narinig ko lang sa DZMM yan.

The technician that set-up your connection must have changed the address of your canopy. Go to http://www.pinoywifi.com for instructions on how to reset or even find the IP address assigned to it by the technician. :headsetsmiley:

I have question

hotmilk,

 

you wanted to know:

1. if your friend has a legal ground to file for legal separation on the basis of the factual ground that his wife got pregnant by another man who is now living with her; and

2. if your friend can remarry if and when his case for legal separation prospers.

 

please find below my answers.

 

1. Yes, he can file for legal separation. Based on the facts you disclosed, it appears that your friend may use ground no. 8 (sexual infidelity) below:

 

"Art. 55. A petition for legal separation may be filed on any of the following grounds:

(1) Repeated physical violence or grossly abusive conduct directed against the petitioner, a common child, or a child of the petitioner;

(2) Physical violence or moral pressure to compel the petitioner to change religious or political affiliation;

(3) Attempt of respondent to corrupt or induce the petitioner, a common child, or a child of the petitioner, to engage in prostitution, or connivance in such corruption or inducement;

(4) Final judgment sentencing the respondent to imprisonment of more than six years, even if pardoned;

(5) Drug addiction or habitual alcoholism of the respondent;

(6) Lesbianism or homosexuality of the respondent;

(7) Contracting by the respondent of a subsequent bigamous marriage, whether in the Philippines or abroad;

(8) Sexual infidelity or perversion;

(9) Attempt by the respondent against the life of the petitioner; or

(10) Abandonment of petitioner by respondent without justifiable cause for more than one year.

For purposes of this Article, the term "child" shall include a child by nature or by adoption."

 

2. No, your friend cannot remarry if and when a decree of legal separation is issued because under Section 63 (1), the marriage bond is not severed:

 

"Art. 63. The decree of legal separation shall have the following effects:

(1) The spouses shall be entitled to live separately from each other, but the marriage bonds shall not be severed;

(2) The absolute community or the conjugal partnership shall be dissolved and liquidated but the offending spouse shall have no right to any share of the net profits earned by the absolute community or the conjugal partnership, which shall be forfeited in accordance with the provisions of Article 43(2);

(3) The custody of the minor children shall be awarded to the innocent spouse, subject to the provisions of Article 213 of this Code; and

(4) The offending spouse shall be disqualified from inheriting from the innocent spouse by intestate succession. Moreover, provisions in favor of the offending spouse made in the will of the innocent spouse shall be revoked by operation of law."

"hi, i'm not a lawyer, i'm not a law student. but i need to ask people here for advice. hope people could help. thanks in advance.

 

here is the situation

 

1. there is a person who claimed he created a software/application for our company, this was however, done verbally. no written records.

2. the owner and all employees were made to believe that he developed these applications.

3. the said person was fired because of some other reason not related to the software/applications.

4. since these applications were supposedly his creations, the company was paying him, aside from his salary, the rights to use his creations.

5. since he was fired, the company was forced to create their own applications. and during research, it was discovered that said creations weren't really his. it was bought from another company.

6. the seller company confirmed it was bought by the said person.

7. now company wants to sue him for claiming he created the applications and making the company pay for the use of creations.

8. the creations were bought at around 20% what he charges the company every month. in total roughly around $48,000 were paid to him. for a software the company could have bought for $300.

 

 

that's the situation.

the questions are

1. can we sue him for claiming he created the applications/software eventhough we don't have a written document stating he created it.

2. can we sue him and get refund for the charges we paid him?

3. The only document we have is a memo introducing him to a new employee as the creator of the applications. he didn't author the memo. but he welcomed the new employee, and he neither confirmed nor denied that he created the application. Thus wouldn't that imply that he indeed let the company believe that he created the applications? Will that be considered evidence?

 

Thanks. hehehehe.. sorry seryoso ako masyado. i'm mad kasi eh. he attacked me professionally and personally kasi eh. i want to make him pay for his misdeeds. he called me kasi unskilled, untrained and very under qualified. Although he does have better credentials that I do, i developed way better applications than he did. and well basically my applications are all mine, original. i didn't copy, download, or buy it from anybody. there.. payag ba kayo na lait-laitin ang pinoy? galit na galit sya sakin kasi pinoy ako. tapos boss decided to hire me. kaya when i was working under him he made my professional life miserable. now i want payback. and well justice served as well.

 

looking at it morally, he should pay for deceiving the company. but legally do we have a case? thanks po." by Viola

^hmmm... the classic case of art 19, 20, and 21 of the civil code ba ito...

1. Yes. Btw, the seller company can also file a case against that person

2. You can sue him for fraud. You can pray to the court for the refund plus additional damages

3. Silence means yes. He agreed to the contents of the memo. But it has to be specific that he was the one who claimed as the author of the application . It must not in anyway show that it was company who conferred upon him such title....otherwise, he can find loopholes. You could look for other documents substantiating your claim i.e contract of employment etc... You said he charges your company on a monthly basis? is this for royalty fees for creating the application? If so, then description of his work/services must be made specific.

try booting to other modes like LAST KNOWN GOOD CONFIGURATION or SAFEMODE

 

while the computer is starting, press F5 continously until you reach the Windows Advanced Option Menu.

choose Last Known Good Configuration first if that tdidnt work try safe mode

once ur in safemode, try undoing the the system restore that u have made..

 

if ever nothing will work, you shud run a repair install on your windows..

dont wori, it will not mess ur files and documents there..
