Why My Ex-Husband Agreed To Annul Our Marriage (part 2 of 3)

Moreover, the next issue that I raised was, who is going to pay for the annulment expenses? Certainly not me! When we got married, our officemates and common friends said it was as if my ex-husband won the lotto while I, I lost all my fortune thru a fire. They must have seen a premonition... of a doomed marriage.

Anyway, back to who should pay for the annulment case: I convinced my ex-husband by intimidating him that rather than paying for a lawyer to defend him for a concubinage case that I would file against him and his mistress for an adultery, he has no other choice but to pay for the annulment case. There would also be a possible consequence that their lovechild might be dragged to the scandal, as well as, evidence of scandalous circumstances that my ex-husband and his mistress created.

Why My Ex-Husband Agreed To Annul Our Marriage

I am writing this article to give you an idea of why I said in my previous post that my ex-husband was forced to cooperate and pay for the annulment fees.

Months before I filed for an annulment case against my ex-husband, I called him asking that our marriage be finally put to an end... legally. I explained that there is no more reason to save our marriage since: 1) we don't love each other anymore; 2) his infidelity is grossly incurable; 3) we already have our own separate lives; 4) at that time, he was already living in with his mistress, with whom he has a lovechild; and not to mention, 5) he housed his mistress in a place where a number of our COA officemates are residing (delicadeza, are you there?)

Help! Attention: my ex-husband!

I've been legally single since the beginning of this year (please refer to my previous posts on this). Unfortunately, until now I could not use my maiden name in my government transactions yet as I don't have the necessary papers to support my change of name. It takes a long process. (Sigh!)

One of the requirements needed is the certificate of finality of decision to be obtained from the regional trial court where my annulment was filed and decided upon. I requested for such document thru my lawyer, Atty. Azura. But until now, I still didn't receive it. According to Atty. Azura, my ex-husband has not yet fully paid the filing/certification fee of P1,000+.

I understand why my ex-husband would no longer cooperate on paying the necessary fees and all. There is no reason anymore for him to get intimidated (as what I did before just to force him to cooperate and pay for the annulment fees).

Well, that's just his unconscious way of showing of who he really is! Now, back to my dilemma, I need help! Anybody, please!

It's Confirmed, I'm Single... Again?

To those who are asking: yes, my marriage is finally over. I got the judgment on my annulment case just this January. Actually, there is no marriage to speak of from the very beginning. That is, if I am correct in interpreting the phrase, "null and void ab initio", from the dispositive portion of the decision. Hence, should I say, "I was never been married"?

Speaking of decision, I'll be posting some of its excerpts soon!

Keep posted! :)

My ATM Card

I was browsing through my ATM transaction slips when I remember that sometime ago, in the year 2004 to be exact, something happened to my ATM card while I was away.

My ex-husband and I were still together then. We went to Cebu for a vacation. We left my house and my car to the care of my ex-brother-in-law (my ex-husband's youngest brother). I did not realize then that my LBP ATM card fell from my bag while I was in the car right before we departed for Cebu.

Upon our return to Butuan, I was relieved when I found that my ATM card was at the passenger seat of my car. To my surprise, my account balance was decreased by P1000 (don't laugh. P1000 was still A LOT then). I then inquired from LBP-Butuan. That ever gracious staff (thanks to her) revealed that indeed there was a cash withdrawal made from my account at the LBP-Butuan ATM machine... WHILE I WAS IN CEBU.

So, who was the culprit? I then remember that weeks ago before that incident, I oftentimes requested my ex-brother-in-law to withdraw money from my account. Hence, he knew my ATM PIN. And nobody knew my ATM PIN, not even my ex-husband (as I don't trust him that much), except me and my ex-brother-in-law.

So, to repeat the question, who was the culprit?
