Re: Me and My Family
Correct. The law on Abandonment not only affects those that are married but those who are cohabiting. She can claim up 40% of my earnings as decided by a Family court. The amount is decided on my means and her circumstances etc. I expect the amount to be minimal. If children are involved.. They are treated separately.
Enjoy your Sunday!

I find it a little disheartening though with those people who give the impression that something like this could only happen in the Philippines despite the evidence of people being shit all over the world.
It's not an edifying spectacle but certainly not unique

It seems to me that its the mixing of these very different cultures, with the expectations of both that can cause these dramatic problems
I have only just seen ( and read part of ) this very long thread. I feel the OP's pain in it. The expectations of loneliness in the future too perhaps .There is no happy ending . The woman has been found out, she is highly unlikely to take this to the courts.She knows legally she is in the wrong .Letting go is hard, but it's what the OP must do . He's already half way there . Just cut the remaining strings. and leave it to her now. Get on with his own life.I wish him every success with that . As I have written ,there are worse things that can happen between different cultures

Family Law of the Philippines
P11...I suppose you are referring to Art. 147 which days with cohabitation of an unmarried couple. I would point out however that you have discontinued the cohabitation. If there is another clause (or a court decision) that is relevant could you please supply it. Part of the problem here is that you simply state that there is some issue with Abandonment. But that applies only when there is a LEGAL MARRIAGE, not one that is nullity from the beginning or annulled. There can be requirements to support children from the union (remember, it was not a legal marriage) but the other individual is not a spouse.
"When a man and a woman who are capacitated to marry each other, live exclusively with each other as husband and wife without the benefit of marriage or under a void marriage, their wages and salaries shall be owned by them in equal shares and the property acquired by both of them through their work or industry shall be governed by the rules on co-ownership.In the absence of proof to the contrary, properties acquired while they lived together shall be presumed to have been obtained by their joint efforts, work or industry, and shall be owned by them in equal shares. For purposes of this Article, a party who did not participate in the acquisition by the other party of any property shall be deemed to have contributed jointly in the acquisition thereof if the former’s efforts consisted in the care and maintenance of the family and of the household
Neither party can encumber or dispose by acts inter vivos of his or her share in the property acquired during cohabitation and owned in common, without the consent of the other, until after the termination of their cohabitation.When only one of the parties to a void marriage is in good faith, the share of the party in bad faith in the co-ownership shall be forfeited in favor of their common children. In case of default of or waiver by any or all of the common children or their descendants, each vacant share shall belong to the respective surviving descendants. In the absence of descendants, such share shall belong to the innocent party. In all cases, the forfeiture shall take place upon termination of the cohabitation.
