abandonment of spouse

Good Morning po,

I would like to inquire po if paano or pwede po ba ako magfile ng abandonement of marriage. 7 years na po kami hindi nagkikita or naguusap ng wife ko. may mga nakuha na din po akong photos sa Fb na maron na syang kasama at may anak na po sila.

Malaking tulong din po kasi ito para po makabili ako ngmga properties. kadalasan po kasi pag married hinahanapan ako ng signature ng spouse.

and baka din po kasi bigla sya maghabol kasi parang conjugal pa po ata pag nagacquire ako ngaun ng properties. tama po ba?

im hoping to be enlightened po sana regarding these issues.

maraming salamat po.

You may file for legal separation under grounds of abandonement. once legally separated na kayo wala na habol wife mo sa magiging assets mo.

Thank you po for this. may idea po ba kayo kung how much po magagastos sa pag file ng legal separation? may mga hearing din po ba yun?or can you suggest po a lawyer who cluld represent me po if ever?marami pong salamat.

Sa nakausap ko na abogado before, he told me na ang magagastos sa legal separation is almost as much as magagastos mo sa annulment case. so price will depend on the lawyer you will contract. usually kasi they will not give you an exact estimate since ang singil nila is acceptance fee, processing fee tapos yung professional fee every appearance. Yan sa every appearance usually nagpapalaki ng gastos since some cases can take years (one lawyer told me it could take upto 4 years for annulment) bago maresolve. meron din naman nagooffer ng package, though medyo mahirap humanap ng lawyer na nagooffer ng ganito na reliable.

ang maganda lang sa legal separation is mas madali sya ma-approve unlike sa annulment na pwedeng mauwi sa wala lahat ng oras at pera na nilaan mo sa case.

Btw, oo meron po sya hearing at required din ng appearance specially sa pre-trial. regarding naman sa pag suggest ng lawyer, tbh I don't want to vouch for anyone na di ko pa nasubukan since ayoko masisi sa huli. better ask the help of your family to ask around and look for "kakilala" na lawyer.
