Case 456
My girlfriend and I had been in a relationship for four years when I met another woman and was unfaithful with her. I confessed the infidelity to my girlfriend because I love her, so I asked her to forgive me to get things right between us again. But within a short time the other woman told me that she was pregnant. I couldn’t just leave her to make it on her own, because she was [...]
Case 455
I’ve been married for four years. Everything was wonderful at the beginning of our relationship, and we understood each other, but stress and her character (bipolar) make the situation tense all the time.... I spend more time at work than at home to avoid arguments, and I’ve tried to talk to her many times, but she won’t accept any criticism. About a month ago a younger woman, full of life and joy, came into my [...]
Case 454

After a year he came back and said that he wanted to help me... so he now gives me some help each month....

I am a forty-six-year-old woman with a twelve-year-old daughter and a ten-year-old son. For the past seven months I have been separated from their father... because I discovered that he was cheating on me for years with a thirty-five-year-old woman....

Case 451
The side mirror of my car on the passenger side hit the side mirror of a parked car, but I kept on driving because I didn’t think that any real damage had been done. When I got to work I looked at my mirror and saw that there were shards of glass and a scratch that made it clear to me that I had done at least minor damage to the other car’s side mirror.... [...]
Case 450
A year ago I fell in love with a man who is forty-two years older than I am. He is sixty-three, and I am twenty-one. He says that he loves me very much, but he doesn’t talk to me about any plans for the future.... I have not had intimate relations with him because I was raped and he doesn’t know about it. My family doesn’t want me to break up with him, because he [...]
Case 449
This year has been very difficult for me. I am doing poorly in school and I have problems with depression and bipolar disorder.... I am twelve years old and have too much pain for my age.

Case 448
My question is whether I should make a legal claim against my father so that he will have to pay for my studies. According to the law, if a child lives separately from his father, he can make a legal claim for payment of schooling until the child is a certain age. I feel badly about doing it, but he refuses to help me and leaves me no other choice, and I know he has [...]
