i tried to talk to her, many many times, she is a spiteful hot headed brat. i know i am not able to own land in the philippines, but she used my money to buy the property. a lawyer told me nobody can acquire wealth at the expense of others, that is what my ex did. when we met she had nothing, when we split, she had more money than i did, to me that is a clear case of using me to get rich.
if the lawyer is right, and i hope so as she is also a judge, i have some chance of reclaiming money, i'm not trying to reclaim property as i cannot touch that i know. i do not think any court in a sane world can claim i gifted away the best part of 2 million pesos.
i have contacted another lawyer friend and he claims i have a sound case too to reclaim something. with no experience of philippine law i have to trust he knows when a case is viable or not, but who knows what philippines law is like with a filipino against foreigner case.
