Legal Advice about Marriage, Family Relations

[psyche0105]

Regarding your first question, yung anak and the surviving spouse muna ang mas may better right kesa sa kapatid ng namatay. So bale ganito yun, half ng properties ng deceased sa surviving spouse, tapos the other half sa mga anak including the share pa ng surviving spouse.

Second question- You are right, hndi legal ang divorce dito sa Pilipinas. Pero if in your case yung babae nangibang bansa, at naging American citizen, pwede siyang mag-obtain ng divorce sa ibang bansa para mapawalang bisa yung previous marriage. However, since foreign judgments are not recognized in this country, kailangan pa niyang mag file ng petition for the recognition of judgment of divorce. Note that this applies only kapag naging American citizen na siya. Any divorce obtained by a Filipino abroad is invalid.

maraming salamat po sa sagot nyo, naliwanagan na ako. ^_^

Hello. I'm a law student, nearing my bar review and I'd like to practice my knowledge by answering legal questions so kung sino dito may questions regarding marriage, family [which can be but is not limited to annulment, legal separation, prenuptial agreements, custody of children, etc. basta anything related to family & marriage issues] and I'll do my best to share my knowledge and answer them based on the applicable laws.

I also have other thread-- questions about labor you can post them here naman.

Thanks!

Oo active naman medyo matagal lang magreply minsan lang kasi ako magcheck

need good advice. yung wife ko kasi nahuli ko na nakikipag chat sa x bf nya.tama ba yun di ko alam kung ano dapat gawin ko pero na iinis talaga ako....

Hindi sufficient na ground for adultery yung nakipagchat lang sya sa ex nya. You must prove na nagsasama talaga sila at alam ng other guy na married na asawa mo.

Sorry, student palang po ako hindi pa po ako pwede mag practice. Hanap nalang po kayo ng lawyer na pwede magrepresent sa inyo. You can seek for PAO's assistance. Free yun but subject to conditions. You can ask them.

Regarding your case, hindi pwedeng may kinakasama ka na iba knowing na kasal ka. Medyo may kamahalan pero the only way is to file an annulment.

Para magrant ang annulment, your case must be subject to these grounds: 1. If nagpakasal kayo aged 18 but not over 21, lack of parental consent, 2. marriage was obtained by fraud, force or undue influence example mga shotgun marriages, 3. psychological incapacity meaning bago pa kayo ikasal may manifestations na sa wife mo na hindi sya capable magcomply sa marital duties nya, 4. mental illness & 5. acquisition of sexually transmitted disease.

Generally speaking yun lang ang grounds, but still subject din to several conditions and you have to prove them in court by evidence. So i suggest na hanap ka ng lawyer whom you can extensively discuss your case with para mas maaddress yung mga concerns mo.

Hi,

I believe this is still related to family. Is there any Philippine law concerning 'head of household/family'?

I'm can't find anything online.

Thanks!

Hi! As far as I am concerned the Philippine law speaks only of "head of the family" for taxation purposes and under the old tax law pa. Under the old tax law, heads of the family (HOF) are allowed a personal tax exemption of P25k pero under the new law (RA 9504) which specifically repealed the former provision in Sec. 35 of the Tax Code, regardless of the civil status (single, head of family or married) = all are entitled to P50k personal tax exemption. That personal exemption is to be deducted on your gross income to come up with the net taxable income.

Family Code however barely speaks of the head of household/family, except under the 'Family Home' section which states that unmarried heads of the family are entitled as beneficiaries of the family home.

Hope that helps.

 

[macvalino]

Thanks! Yun nga nakalap ko. Kawawa naman mga tulad ko na single at head of family, hindi malagay family members as dependents for tax deduction, even sa PhilHealth.

Generally speaking, the law provides that if the child is below 7 years of age, automatically sa mother yung custody. The reason is that it is perceived by law na mas magiging mabuti ang welfare ng bata if he/she lives with his/her mother. However, that is not a conclusive presumption and you can rebut it by stating your grounds before the court should you wish to obtain custody on your child.

The compelling reasons for a mother to lose custody are the following: 1. neglect 2. abandonment 3. unemployment 4. immorality 5. habitual drunkenness, drug addiction 6. maltreatment of the child 7. insanity and 8. affliction with communicable disease. Any of these grounds present must be backed up by evidence. Clearly pasok yung case mo under 3. which is unemployment.

Pwede bang kasuhan yung gf/bf if sa kanila nakuha yung STD? Salamat TS.

No, it does not apply kung boyfriend/girlfriend lang since no law penalizes such action.

But in marriage, you can file for an annulment if your spouse has STD or if he/she conceals the fact that he/she has STD.

[Hersh3y]

pwede po ba kasuhan ang lalaki na sumama sa iba, kahit may anak sila pero hindi kasal

pero yung girl may mga ka flirt before and after maghiwalay, maybe one of the reason

kaya iniwan sya? ano po masasabi nyo dito?

 

[tigerhowl]

1. Magkano gastos sa annulment? It's a case to case basis. Depende yan sa complexity ng facts ng kaso niyo, sa lawyer na kinuha niyo kung high profile ba or not.. depende. Pero from what I heard usually mga 100 to 150k.

2. Anim lang grounds for annulment. (a) if the contracting parties are 18-21 years of age and yet walang parental consent (b) either parties is of unsound mind (c) marriage obtained by fraud (d) marriage obtained through undue influence, violence and intimidation (e) impotency and (f) acquisition of sexually transmitted disease. In your case, since 19 palang sila nung nagpakasal at walang parental consent, pwedeng ma-grant yung annulment.. However you have to prove na wala talagang alam yung parents na nagcontract sila ng marriage. File your case before the Regional Trial Court where any of them reside since that court has the jurisdiction.

3. Yung duration ng case is also a case-to-case basis, since that would depend sa schedule niyo sa hearing, availability of all parties, sa facts ng kaso, sa pagcomply niyo sa court, etc.

pwede po ba kasuhan ang lalaki na sumama sa iba, kahit may anak sila pero hindi kasal

No, walang law ang naggrant sa hindi mag-asawa na magfile ng kaso dahil yung lalaki sumama sa iba.. Pag hindi kasal at may anak sila, their obligation extends only to that of their child at hindi sa wife.

Pag 8 years below, the law automatically provides na yung custody over the child ay sa nanay. The reason is that the law presumes na mas magiging mabuti ang kalagayan ng bata sa nanay because of the so-called "maternal bond". However, the father can rebut this presumption if it shows na hindi capable yung mother na alagaan ang bata. Take note that the primordial consideration is the welfare of the child.. hindi pwedeng basta basta kunin ng any of the spouses yung custody dahil lang gusto niya.

nag backread ako grabe ano, parang normal nalang sa mga mag asawa na

dumating sa ganung point, na may makilalang iba, magkakasala.

Totoo.. kaya nga in favor din ako sa divorce law sa dami ng failed marriages.

maraming salamat po ts sa pagsagot mo.

may gusto lang po ako itanong kasi sabi niyo po na posible magrant ang annulement dahil sa 19 palng sila ng ikasal at pwedeng wlang consent ng parents,
pero papaano po yon ts kung mismo ang parents nila ang gstong ipakasal sila dahil nga sa nabuntis siya.?
diba isa sa mga titingnan kung doon eh yong sign ng parents, eh kung nkapirma po ang parents nla doon as witness?

Unfortunately, the Family Code requires na yung "parental consent" has to be in writing.

“Article 14. In case either or both of the contracting parties, not having been emancipated by a previous marriage, are between the ages of eighteen and twenty-one, they shall, in addition to the requirements of the preceding articles, exhibit to the local civil registrar, the consent to their marriage of their father, mother, surviving parent or guardian, or persons having legal charge of them, in the order mentioned. Such consent shall be manifested in writing by the interested party, who personally appears before the proper local civil registrar, or in the form of an affidavit made in the presence of two witnesses and attested before any official authorized by law to administer oaths. The personal manifestation shall be recorded in both applications for marriage license, and the affidavit, if one is executed instead, shall be attached to said applications” (Family Code of the Philippines).

Without parental consent, hindi pwede mag-issue ng marriage license. Mind if i ask, sino ba ang 19yo? Pareho sila? Ano age ng isa?
