. ANDRADE, Petitioner, Versus Civil Case No. 09-122592 For: Judicial Declaration of Nullity of Marriage

IMELDA M. YUSON-ANDRADE, Respondent. X-----------------------X PRE-TRIAL BRIEF This is an action for Declaration of Nullity of Marriage under Articles 36 & 68 of the New Family Code. Brief Statement of the Case Petitioner alleges in his Petition, viz: a) that petitioner and respondent are husband and wife; b) that respondent is clinically found to be psychologically incapacitated to comply with the essential requisites of marriage identified as Anti-Social and Narcissistic Personality Disorder; c) that the root cause of such illness is traced from respondents childhood; d) such illness is diagnosed to be grave and incurable; e) that such illness existed prior to the marriage and became apparent at the time of the marriage. Petitioner and respondent have no children. Petitioner further alleges that he and respondent met each other as phone pals and texts mates. The personally met in 1999, when she came home from abroad in Hong Kong as a domestic helper. Right after they met and became physically attracted each other and indulged in intimate sexual relations. When she went back to Hong Kong, she arranged for him to go there. He was impressed with her because she appeared to him as a flamboyant, moneyed, expensive and generous. After their out of the spur wedding on October 23, 2000, she purchased a house and lot, where they lived together. It was however when they lived together that he became aware of respondents true nature. She was the over jealous, manipulative, violent, self-centered type of person, demanding, bossy type of person. She had no qualms in showing her fits of anger and madness even in public places and even in the presence of neighbors. They were always quarrelling and their quarrels were always violent and humiliating because respondent would always flaunt that she is the one who has money and that she was the one who bought the house and all the other material things in the house. The last quarrel they had ended in petitioners being driven out of the house. After a week, when he came back, their house was already padlock and much as he waited for her to return even outside of their house, she never returned until one of the neighbors told him that respondent already went back abroad. Since then, he had never seen her nor had any news of her whatsoever. That he has filed this case because he is convinced that the respondent will never come back and fulfill her obligations to their marriage. He wants to start life anew, free from the legal entanglement which was not meant to be. Hence this case.
