P11 should have cut off all communication a long time ago. I am sure this whole episode would have gone silent if he had done that.
All the announcements of this is a forgery, and that’s not true etc.etc., is now becoming very tiresome, and irritating.

Cutting off communication earlier... Yes it would have gone silent but I would not know what she was up to. Now I know and prepared. Further more... I have achieved what I wanted to do... She is rehoused.. Medication completed and had time to find a job.

She admits that a prior recorded marriage existed, though she asserts that it was fraudulent. However the prior marriage remains in force until she obtains an annulment. The consummation of that marriage- they lived as husband and wife- (which is proved, I believe by the fact that she had a child after the contrived marriage) makes it more difficult for her to argue fraud, especially if the second daughter took her husbands name (which was the supposedly the rationale for the fraud).

Tell her to get back to you when she obtains the annulment through fraud and the prosecution of those involved in the fraud results in conviction.

But you do need to have some way that legal papers can be served and not rely upon her to "pass on the documents". It's best to have service go through a lawyer. Not answering legal documents means that you cannot even make your case.

But if you are correct that you don't have a legal chance in hell in the Philippines maybe a self-deportation is preferable to having your bank accounts drained like a malfunctioning septic tank.

Incidentally you state she is now rehoused, are you paying the rent and continuing to give an allowance. I am confused, you did state that you would cut off all financial support ( her father recommended it) however I skipped all the boring, abhorrent threads on the L/Ls hormone problems so may not have read any further clarification or change of heart.

On the other hand, it would be worth trying to come to an arrangement with a local attorney to act as an intermediary who will send and receive communications on his behalf. That would break the direct connection and should be far less expensive than full representation.

In most jurisdictions, a fraudulent marriage is void ab initio and the question of bigamy doesn't arise. That puts a different complexion on things, and it's critical to determine whether the OP's wife was legally married to someone else when their own marriage took place. If this was the case, she committed bigamy, his own marriage is void, and he is more or less free to ignore her and move on. If not, then an annulment seems to be the only solution and he states that this is out of the question due to the costs involved.

At a minimum, I'd recommend briefing an attorney to determine whether his wife's previous 'marriage' is valid or not. The rest of this debate is just noise for now.
