Ex-girlfriend haunting my dad...

Philippines
February 8, 2007 6:47pm CST
My dad suffered a stroke out of a very bad fight with her ex-girlfriend. During the times that he was in the hospital, she seldom visited and when she did, she stayed for so little time that I can't even remember the color of her outfit that day. Now that my dad has recovered, she got the nerve to visit us at home and manage to brainwash and manipulate my dad's decision with his properties. She has been a gold digger in my dad's life and now that we're starting fresh, I want her out of our lives. How would I do that without affecting my dad's feelings. Dad can't remember her much. it's like we're writing a new book of his life. His ex-girlfriend is manipulating him, introducing herself that she has been good to him and he's supposed to marry her and that he promised that half of his belongings are hers. What shall I do? in legal terms, is there a way that I can block her off for us to start a new life?

I think your dads girlfriend is a big crazy woman. Does she have any legal documents to prove that what she was trying to get is hers? She's not even married to your dad to demand such thing. Maybe what you can do is to threat her that you will seek legal help to shoo her away.

I think it would be a good idea to have your Dad legally transfer his ownings to you. It is not that expensive and does not have to be a huge document. There are many legal books that have "boiler plate" forms where you just fill out the info,,once you have it notarized, it's legally binding. I predict that once "miss personality finds out that he owns nothing in his name she will disappear..She sounds like a horror and you will be well rid of her. good luck!

I think you should take help from some of your close relatives to get rid of this female...

I don't think she can get anything from him other than manipulating him to give her something (which is why I think she's been eager to do so) because there must be NO written agreement whatsoever. A verbal agreement would be debatable because your father couldn't even remember her much to even collaborate with her statement. If you're so worried that she might be able to sway him into her gold-digging, I think you should consult a lawyer immediately. You also mentioned that she's his EX-GIRLFRIEND. Does that mean that they already broke up? In that case, she can't get anything from him at all because they don't have a relationship anymore.

Welcome to mylot and I am so sorry about what your dads gong thru. Perhaps you can talk to an attorney to protect your dads legal interests. If he isnt in his right frame of mind, that any decisions he makes could be null and void. I would suggest to him, that you want to see him happy but to be cautious. If she cared so much where was she in the hospital. Seems she is trying to take advantage of hi. Hope this helps, my thoughts are with you!

i agree. i'm no lawyer but i don't think she has a "hold" over your father legally since they were not married. i am not sure if you can talk to your father but if you have a close relationship with him maybe you can talk to him and let him know how uncomfortable his ex-girlfriend is making you feel... especially if the rest of the family is getting affected by her actions. if you father is well enough, i hope he will learn to prioritize you over his ex-girlfriend and learn to say "no" to her.

If he is unable to make decisions like this based on his memory due to illness then i suggest you look into your local laws and see if there is a law that allows someone else to take charge of his interests. Since they are not married then she can not be the person to do it. I would look into the local laws though seriously.

Talk to your dad. You should point out to him that he ended up in the hospital from fighting with that woman. Tell him she barely came to see him and now that he is recuperating, all she cares about is his stuff. She isn't there caring for him..she did not stay with him in the hospital.. she has shown no signs to the family that she even cares about him. tell him she is an EX girlfriend not a current girlfriend. then tell him that you understand that he can't remember some things so you want to get an attorney and freeze his assets or take control of them until his memory comes back because you think this woman is a gold digger. Your dad is not a child. But since he does not remember everything it does make him vulnerable. Tell him you feel you need to protect him from her until he remembers, or until you feel certain that she isn't just after his assets. Tell him you just don't want to see him hurt anymore... Then get power of attorney, or something and have it set up where he can't give away or sell anything without your signature... talk to an attorney about that... they can tell you what to do, and help you with it... This way too, he may not feel like you are taking anything of his either, just making it so he needs your approval to give up or sell anything... this would keep her from getting anything... maybe would run her off too... once you have it, I think I would let her know that she isn't going to get any of his assets until you are certain that his memory has returned.. if ever.... that will likely make her mad, but I bet soon after you will see less and less of her and when she figures out there is nothing she can do, she will likely be gone...

Get your dad to give you power of attorney over him and his belongings. If he want do that. Since his memory is going, you can get a doctor to say that he cannot make right decisions and get power of attorney. You need to act fast before she gets her hands on his stuff.
