anyone care to comment on this....

 

had a live in partner 3 years ago and bore a baby girl. we separated last year. eversince she's been asking me for money to support her, which is no problem naman when i have extra money.

 

the thing is, she's always using our kid as a tool to get money from me. i have the kid with me, sa akin na lumaki. she got used not having her mom around. the girl is always saying she has the right to the kid and she'll take her away from me. i told her she can get the kid but she has to prove first that she can support her.

 

is there a law somewhere that can help me out?

 

i mean, my ex doesn't have any means of living, even her parents... ( i used to support them ), they live in a house with 5 other families. the kind that you see rugrats running around without undies... old guys drinking nightly...mahjong or tongits table... out of school teenagers up til the wee hours of the morning... are these grounds i can use to prove that she is incapable to raise our daughter?

The general rule is that mothers are given preference over fathers if the child is 7 years old and below. The court may, however, give custody of the child to the father or another relative if it is proven that being under the custody of the mother would NOT be in the best interest of the child. The court takes into consideration factors such as the financial capacity of the mother, her emotional/psychological state, and over-all ability to provide a good home and environment for the child.

question....

 

what would happen if i havent paid my credit card dues and it was already forwarded daw sa legal tapos wala pa rin ako pambayad talaga?

 

di ba ang masama lang naman yun pag nag bigay ka ng check na mag bounce?

pero pano kung wala pa pambayad talaga but willing to pay them,like waiting for the midyear bonus to pay them or something?

 

If the total amount is relatively low, the company might not take the trouble of filing a complaint since the costs might not be worth it. If it does reach the court, it usually lasts a long time, some take years to be resolved. I've handled collection cases for banks and it's really a pain in the ass, hehe. It's just a civil case, you won't go to prison.

this gives me courage, and i thank u sir...

 

onemore thing, if ever umabot nga sa court... while the case is being heard, she can have temporary custody pa rin? i'm afraid she may bring my daughter somewhere i can't find them...

From what I remember, the following provisions of the Revised Penal Code may be applicable:

 

Article 202

Vagrants and prostitutes; penalty. — The following are vagrants:

 

1. Any person having no apparent means of subsistence, who has the physical ability to work and who neglects to apply himself or herself to some lawful calling;

2. Any person found loitering about public or semi-public buildings or places or trampling or wandering about the country or the streets without visible means of support;

3. Any idle or dissolute person who ledges in houses of ill fame; ruffians or pimps and those who habitually associate with prostitutes;

4. Any person who, not being included in the provisions of other articles of this Code, shall be found loitering in any inhabited or uninhabited place belonging to another without any lawful or justifiable purpose;

5. Prostitutes.

For the purposes of this article, women who, for money or profit, habitually indulge in sexual intercourse or lascivious conduct, are deemed to be prostitutes.

Any person found guilty of any of the offenses covered by this articles shall be punished by arresto menor or a fine not exceeding 200 pesos, and in case of recidivism, by arresto mayor in its medium period to prison correccional in its minimum period or a fine ranging from 200 to 2,000 pesos, or both, in the discretion of the court.

 

Article 341 - the penality of prision mayor in its medium and maximum periods shall be imposed upon any person who, in any manner, or under any pretext, shall engage in the business or shall profit by prostitution or shall enlist the services of any other person for the purpose of prostitution."

I don't think you have anything to be ashamed of. Some are simply less fortunate than others and certainly there would not be any sellers if there were no buyers. I always wish the best of anyone who is constrained to enter this industry. The sooner you get out of it though, the better for you.

My problem is not really that serious, I just would like to ask how many post wqould it take to modify some of the settings in the control section?

[Google]

sirs, two questions lang po...

 

1) i dowloaded pics and video clips from my digicam to my hard drive. when i burned it, the pics were ok but the video clips were on "slow motion" pati yung audio, tumatalon at parang umaalon ang tunog. i used nero, and burned it as a data cd. may ginawa ba kong mali?

 

2) my laptop, pag nag-boot, may lumalabas:

 

error loading C:\WINDOWS\System32\ddvjasqv.dll

 

what does this mean?

 

patulong naman po.

 

1. yung videos should be burned as video CD or SVCD format. hindi data. and try to use the slowest burning rate, which i think is 8x.

 

2. dunno about your second question. but probably, this is a result of a removed program (uninstalled program). try to check it out sa MSCONFIG tsaka sa REGEDIT kung anong program ang tumatawag sa DLL file na yun.

Only someone familiar with Taiwanese laws/ordinances can answer this. It's probably considered some form of theft.
