Butsoy Posted September 27, 2008 Author Share Posted September 27, 2008 Ms September| Are you a Canadian Citizen already? File a Divorce over there mas makakatipid ka...or even if you are not a canadian citizen yet you can still file a divorce over there since divorce in Canada is not based on the law of the country from where an applicant originated if ever just PM me or email me at hanlaw@justice.com Butsoy good day all MTC lawyers!!! I've been a member of this forum for 3 years, whenever i have any legal questions i go straight to this thread, from credit card problems to child support. anyways, i get my life and finances back in track and im about to fix one more mistake i did from my past, due to immaturity i guess. so here's what happened, i met my husband in 2004 (US citizen), we were both 24 years old at the time, and same year we got married. but the marriage really didnt exist in a way that there is no person solemnized the marriage, we had the so-called 'fixer' who did everything(filing marriage licence, etc.), the parents consent are false signatures. the following year (2005) i gave birth, financial support from my hubby was not enough, he was so unstable in US with debts from his college tuition fee to credit cards, he was really broke. so i decided to work in canada(through the help of my sister) as a caregiver. He followed me here with our son, after a week. first month was fine then later i found out that there's really something wrong with him. first of, he dont know how to manage his finances(the reason he cant pay-off his debt), everytime he has money he can spend all of it in a day without considering he has son to feed and a wife. so in short, he was really a SELF-CENTERED PIG!!!, he'll spend all his money to fancy restaurants, buy signatured clothes or buy expensive gadgets just for HIMSELF. and here i am working my butt off, not seeing my son for 5 days just to put some food in the table and provide our basic needs. things became worst every month, he cant stay to a company for long, will work for a month then he either quit or they fire him, he was also a LAZY SLOTH!!! worst thing is, he also stole money from my sister and mom just to buy something for him, a CLEPTO MANIAC!!! two-years of suffering i think is enough so i decided to leave him. he starts to threaten me now he would say he's gonna end-up his life which really bothers me a lot, he don't have any money saved, he dont even have any medical insurance here so whatever happens to him, im still accountable right? i really want to file fo annulment. im not sure where to start, but i really want to hire a lawyer to represent me since im here in canada, i am not rich(i just started here in canada with a working permit, not as immigrant). so i hope you charge me with reasonable fee. in my opinion, my husband is not financially, psychologically ready for a marriage plus the fact that my love for him was totally GONE. so i am really ready to do this, i dont care how long will it take i just want to do things right and bring my life back to normal. and by the way, there is no third party involve, i am a loyal wife. i also want to know how much will it cost me and how long is the process? thanks all MTC lawyers and hope to get response from you guys...

FelixBacat Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 my car got broken into last night in MAKRO CAINTA Branch around 7:00 - 7:30PM.back window (passenger side) was smashed.stolen stuff amounting to almost 100K.security admitted that the roving security guard in the parking lot stops at 6:00PM EVERYDAY.that's downright wrong, right? moreso if you consider that the establishment closes at 9:00PM everyday.i know it was my fault leaving those stuff in the car, but i was only gone for 10mins since i only bought one stuff. i have no concern re any criminal case since i had no eyewitness, no suspect.my only concern right now is what i can do re civil matters against the establishment. kindly enlighten me on this matter.i have already made a blotter andim planning to go there again tomorrow and talk to management. any help or advice will be appreciated. thanks in advance fellows.cheers!

MODERATOR bonito99 Posted September 29, 2008 MODERATOR Share Posted September 29, 2008 You can file a civil case for damages against makro. Ask your lawyer to write a demand letter. MAke sure you have enough evidence that your car was broken into inside Makro premises. Quote Link to comment

simpatiko Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 This is a follow up to my past query... I am applying for a certain position and the law of consanguity and affinity applies up to the 4th degree. my fiancee's sister is also working in the said company and still am not assuming the position up to now. i will be exchanging vows to my fiancee this coming november and if i will be assumed to the position before November, is there a posibility that the law of affinity will still be applied on me where in before they got me i was perfectly single?

Hello again... I was the one who answered your first query, right??? Anyway, strictly speaking the law bans 4th degree relatives by blood or marriage, so if you marry your fiancee you'll be covered by the ban. However, there may be exceptions to the Rule. Hence, I suggest that you communicate with the company's personnel officer and ask if there are any exceptions, more precisely if the ban will apply even if you're already employed before you got married, my opinion is that it will...but I'm not the company's personnel officer. If you cannot find one, then its time to either look for another job or another fiancee. Quote Link to comment
fashiznit78 Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Diba kahit mag-divorce sila sa Canada, married pa din sila sa perspective ng Philippine government? Domiciliary rule? Quote Link to comment
ela_bat Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Diba kahit mag-divorce sila sa Canada, married pa din sila sa perspective ng Philippine government? Domiciliary rule? yes. you still have to file a petition for recognition of foreign judgment for the divorce to be recognized here in the philippines provided the foreigner (former filipino) filed the divorce.

dickyryu Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 mga bossing na pwedeng maka tulong.. pano ko po malalaman kung may hold departure orders against me? sana po may maka reply agad.. Quote Link to comment
uvgotmale Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 mga bossing na pwedeng maka tulong.. pano ko po malalaman kung may hold departure orders against me? sana po may maka reply agad.. the only way is to inquire from DFA... copy furnished ng courts ang DFA sa mga hold departure orders...

uvgotmale Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 (edited) salamat po sir.. wala po ba talaga website para ma check? Check the website of DFA... not quite sure if hold departure orders are listed therein... Edited October 2, 2008 by uvgotmale Quote Link to comment
fauxhead Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 You can check with the Bureau of Immigration. While the BI and the DFA are furnished with copies of the hold departure order, it is the BI that is primarily tasked to enforce it. Di nga lang yata available sa website yun. mga bossing na pwedeng maka tulong.. pano ko po malalaman kung may hold departure orders against me? sana po may maka reply agad.. Quote Link to comment
fauxhead Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Wala yatang "petition for recognition of foreign judgment" sa rules of court. I think you are referring to a petition for declaratory relief as outlined in that Philippines vs Obrecido III. yes. you still have to file a petition for recognition of foreign judgment for the divorce to be recognized here in the philippines provided the foreigner (former filipino) filed the divorce.
