No, you cannot sue your husband and his mistress for concubinage. The crime was not committed here in the Philippines. As for suing him for support, see your other post.

Thank you Ibonadarna. its really sad.

I have sent you enough information you may not be able to sue the Chinese mistress but you can still get your husband for abandonment. See my post so you can have an idea. If you need further help and information I have sent you a blog site for Expat in China the people there can also help you. As I said China does not allow dual nationality if he has Chinese citizenship this only means he is already married to that Chinese woman.

mdventura thanks...

My husband and i are separated but not legally. But the mistress and my husband are open in declaring their relatiosnship in public and now they have a child. recently my husband died and only the brother of my husband informed us that he is dead. All decisions was made by the mistress without consulting us the legal family. I felt sorry for my kids as their rights and my rights to decide what to do with my husband remains, cloths to wear during the funeral and even the belongings of my late husband was not informed to us. It is the mistress who made all the decisions. Even when my husband is in the hospital before he died was not informed to us.Even in the death certificate of my husband , the mistress signed as the common law wife.I am really mad and i want to file charges against the mistress.What charges can i file against the mistress? and one more thing, in my husband life plan, the beneficiary is their child and they got the claims. Can we run after the mistress and the life and memorial company? Please enlighten me.

so sad po.

good day atty,
I am married since 2012 to my husband and we have 1 child.we have petty quarrel and i guess that's normal to the couple. but last quarter of 2012 when i notice something from my husband.Call it the power of "girl instinct". Monthl of April 2013 when I accidentally found a Bank Receipt to my husband's closet. the receipt was dated January 2013 and march 2013. Meaning recently lang.I verified and traced to the bank what this receipt is all about. I was shocked and found that it was a payment for the motorcycle. i traced the branch and call immediately and spoke to the manager to know everything about this account. the account was for my husband and his mistress. dalawa sila sa account na yun. at ang motorcycle na yun ay ang mistress ang nagpifinance ng monthly payment.Dun ko nalaman na nag apply sila ng motor at nagpanggap silang mag asawa na hindi pa daw kasal. SInce then nadiscover ko ang relasyon nila.Kumuha sila ang property na nakapangalan sa kanilang dalawa. My question is: can i sue the mistress? anu po bang kaso ang pwede kong isampa.. Married den ang babae sa ibang lalaki. at married ang asawa ko sakin..Pwede ko po bang kasuhan silang dalawa?anu po bang kaso ang pwede kong ilatag.

atty. I would like to know if there is a prescribed period for filing a case against the mistress? from the time you caught the husband until when???

CLRC, I would say 4 years.

mutya, that's a good start, but you should try to get additional evidence. i don't think the bank was right to let you know of the account

hindi po ba sapat na evidence yong mga receipt na nakapangalan sa knilang dalawa yong property. mga document na nakapangalan sa asawa ko at co-owner nya yung mistress na yon. at nagpangap sila mag asawa duon sa kinuhaan nila ng motor.

imo, no, that is not enough

so what are some samples of evidence do i need to have? text messages,facebook messages are valid? what else..

or can i also go to the dean's office in her school so that she'l be kicked-out for being immoral.

im planning to file a case against my husband a VOWC case!!!Its been 3 almost 3 years i filed a case against my husband and the mistress which i ended up.the reason why we end up on thos situation because he's having affair with our neighbor and having a baby on her womb from my husband is unacceptable. we are not anymore together but instead he's leaving and supporting his mistress and they got a 3 year old baby acknowleged by my husband. he abondoned me and not giving me any support. they are so public of telling the world that they are together with their son. he never send any money to me thats why i continue to work to feeed myself but ufirtunately, god didnot shower us with baby.
i beg him to make an annulment but he just filed it but its denied by the court because of incomplete documents.
i dont have money for annulment. and i loose all my rights as a wife but i am suffering for what they are doing..
how can i able to get a remittance from my husband aside that im his legal wife still?
can i ask help from a PAO lawyer in my place to help me on this matter? i dont have money to support that case?

Ask lng din po sana q about sa demand letter.. I want to send one to my husbands' mistress to threat her.. Please help me..

Gud day po....
Paano po kaya ang gagawin ko pauwi na po ang husband ko cia po ay seaman 10mos.contract .end of january tnxt nya ako n may prblema daw po hnggng sa napilit ko po n magsabi ng totoo sa pangalawa at 3 pagkakataon niloko n nmn nya ako pero ngaun po mas malala nka buntis po cia ng ksmahan nya ang sabi po nya 2mos pregnant n, gusto po nya pnagutan ang bata at gnun din po ang pamilya ng babae , khit po alam ng babae n may asawa at anak n....ayoko po pumayag dhil alam ko hnggng sa pag laki ng bata eh khati kmi sa isip at puso nya...puede ko po b sabhin n hndi nya kelangn panagutan ang babae lalo n may asawa n rin po ito ngunit hiwalay...ayoko po n ipadla sa bata ang apelyido ng asawa ko...maari po b un? Maghahabol pa rin po b ang babae? pag nangyari po b na ipangalan nya sa asawa ko ang bata at moatunayan ko n ipinangalan sa asawa ko puede ko po b idemanda ang babae dhil sa pagkakaroon nla ng affair ? Sana po ay matulungan nyo ako...maraminng salamat po...

kung may asawa at hiwalay pero hindi legal na hiwalay, ang anak nya will be automaticall assumed by law as the child of her husband. hindi nya pwede ipangalan sa asawa mo(kahit pa sa totoo lang wala kang magagawa kung iacknowledge nya ang bata) ang bata kasi sa batas sya ay may asawa na. marami syang pwedeng maging kaso gaya ng falsification of document kasi di namam sya single. pwede mo silang kasuhan ng concubinage pero kasama siempre sa kaso ang asawa mo. and actually sya lang ang makukulong. kahit na gustong gustp mo maipakulong si babae sa kasamaang palad pag nanalo ka destierro lang ang parusa sa kanya. demanda mo na lang ng civil case pagbayarin mo sa pagsira ng buhay mo hehe...pero sa sitwasyon nya ngayon sa totoo lang napakagulo na ng buhay nya. kasi nasa limbo na sya. ni hindi nya alam kunh paano nya papa rehistro ang anak nya.

Salamat po sa mabalis na reply...pag nag demanda po b ako puede nya rin po b idemanda ang asawa ko? Puede ko rin po ba cia ipa blocked pra hndi na rin cia mkaalis at mkpag trabaho sa ibang bansa?

kung sobrang tuso kaya nya mag imbento ng sangkaterbang kaso. gaya ng di nya alam na may asawa , or naaaubuso sya (ra9262) ng asawa mo. pag dinemanda mo sya tsaka ka lang pwede magrequest na ilagay sya sa watchlist order. alam ko na galit na galit ka sa kabit ng asawa mo. pero sabj mo nga hiwalay na kayo, kung ako sayo magfocus ka na lang sa buhay mo. warningan mo lang sya na wag kang guguluhin, baka nakakalimutan nyang ikaw pa din ang legal na asawa

Hndi pa po kami hiwalay ng asawa ako up to now po eh hndi pa kmi nkakapag usap tungkol dito dhil wala pa po cia sa bansa by nxt week pa po ang uwi nya... Sa ngaun po hndi ko p rin kilala at kung tga saan ang babae at alam ko pong hndi rin sasabhin sa akin ng asawa ko dhil takot din po ang babae dhil alam nya n may asawa na ang lalaking nilandi nya..maraming slamat po sa mga advices...khit paano may mga linaw n kung ano ang puede ko gawin...mag uusap po muna kmi mag asawa...maraming slamat po ulet...God Bless..

good pm po,. nagtatrabaho po ako dati sa SG kasama ang aking asawa, last year i found out na meron syang kabit, napag usapan namin itong problemang ito together with our family and agreed na tatapusin na nya ang kanilang relasyon. but then sad to say they never stopped. Pinalabas lang nila na kunwari wala na sila. Nabuntis po ako sa pangalawa namin baby and kinailangan kong magstop magwork at umuwi ng pinas. nung andun pa ako sa SG pansin ko na na parang hindi pa nga nila tinigil pero todo deny silang dalawa ng babae. kasi nga pinagkakaisahan nila ako. knowledgeable ung kabit a may asawat anak ang asawa ko pero tinutuloy nya padn,.. so yun nga umuwi ako ng pinas na buntis,. Malapit na ang kabwanan ko nung magkacommunicate kami ng nanay ng kabit, at sinabi nga na alam nya ang affair ng anak nya at asawa ko,.. at sinabi sa akin na hinaharass ng asawa ko ang anak nya.. i didn't tel my husband about it kasi gusto ko syang makausap ng personal about sa problem nmn pag uwi nlng nya ng pinas pag manganak ako,.. pero hndi pa ako naaabot sa due date ko napaanak ako ng maaga ng dahil sa kakaisip sa problema nmn. uuwi na dapat ang asawa ko para makita newborn child nmn pero hnd sya natuloy umuwi dahil pinahuli sya sa pulis nung kabit sa araw ng flight nya,.. nireklamo nya ang pananakit daw sakanya,.. nadetain ang asawa ko. at sinabi sa akin ang lahat, ayon sa asawa ko nagawa nga daw nyang saktan ung kabit dahil kada hihiwalayan nya ito eh nagwawala ito at nagseself inflict.. ngaun natanggal po sa trabaho ang asawa ko at umuwi na ng pinas para ayusin ang problema namin,.. pero gusto ko din po sanang mapauwi ung babe kasi sasampahan ko sya ng kaso,.. paano ko po ba sya mapapauwi para mabilis ang takbo ng kaso?

My husband and I is only married for 3 months. I am 8 months pregnant now when I discovered that his cheating on me with his co-trainee. Its been 3 weeks na di na sya umuuwi ng bahay and even a single peso galing sa salary niya ay wala syang binigay. I found out when I talked to the parents girl which is only 19 yrs old ay pumupunta pala asawa ko sakanila minsan doon natutulog. Alam ng babae from the start pa lang na may asawa at manganganak na ang asawa ng lalaking nilalandi niya. I talked to her and her parents to stay away from my husband but her co-trainees would inform me that there relationship is still going on. And nothing has change from them both. Its as if they're taking it for granted. It was so frustrating na ginagawa niya ito when I'm pregnant on our first baby. I know I can file a Concubinage and Abandonment towards my unfaithful husband. I have alot of pictures of them together from the time na nawala asawa ko and I have people who is willing to testify about there affair. But what case can I file to his mistress? I also want her to suffer the depression na ginawa niya sakin. I have learned that I may not be able to send her to jail but she can pay me for all the damages that she caused to me and my baby. Am I correct?

Hi. Can you kindly advised me what should I do to my husband's mistress? My husband and I are married for 7 years and have two kids. He is working in Japan for almost 5years. He met the other woman in Japan and had their relationship for a year when I found out. The other woman is also a Filipina working in Japan. She knew that my husband is married with two kids already but she still chose to have a relationship with my husband. She kept on sending me photos of them together. Even the nude ones. It caused me so much stress and depression. How can I stop her from ruining my family's life? What case can I sue her and what actions should I take for her to be deported since she is also a Filipina. Can I report her to POEA to take actions on her? Can I demand her for the moral and psychological damages she had caused me? Thank you and hoping for your kindly response on this matter.
