Thank you for taking my question. I'm an Americam married to a Filipina (we married outside of the Philippines) and now separated for 1.5 years. During that time I have been cohabitating with a Filipina and the relationship has ended. However she refuses to leave my condo despite the $10K given and the promise of another $10K (settlement) upon her exit. She claims that I promised her a house and she would rather take me to court because i have not delivered the house and I disturbed her life because she left her housekeeping position and abode. Pleses note that I have never ever struck her or had any physical altercation. Is my settlement fair or would a court find me responsible for other damages and or prison?

Greetings!
From your statement and narration, I am assuming that you are referring to the Filipina woman that you were cohabiting, correct? If so, considering that you are not married to her, there is no financial obligation for you to provide a settlement for her, more so that you are not in any way obligated to provide her a house. If the condominium unit is under your name, you can legally eject her from said condominium, of course, we have to follow the legal requirements needed to do so. She has no right whatsoever to be there since you are not married. This appears to be a simple case of extortion.
Women here right now uses the VAWC or Violence against women and their children act as a threat to men in getting what they want. Fortunately, now, the indictment of criminal cases has become more strict as people tend to abuse our laws using them as leverage to exact whatever they want from the other party.
