3. Facts confirmed by the Petitioner

- Mrs. HANG AMMRA, the Petitioner, made statements in the pre-hearing session

that: I, HANG AMMRA, got married with the Respondent LEAV VITIYATHOR on April
18, 1999, and had our marriage legally registered as per Marriage Certificate No. 217.99, dated
January 19, 1999, issued by Daun Penh District Office and Certificate of Marriage No. 29,
dated May 19, 2004, issued by Civil Registrar of Sras Chak quarter, and since living together, I
and the Respondent have 3 children; the first child is LEAV MAYARY, Sex: Female, born
on April 1, 2000, with Certificate of Birth No. 934, dated May 19, 2004; the second child is

on November 14, 2007, with Certificate of Birth No. 407, dated November 29, 2007, issued
by Sras Chak quarter. My husband, the Respondent, LEAV VITIYATHOR, had committed
adultery, having love affairs with another girl and they have 2 children together. I knew that
my husband had love affairs with another gild and had 2 children with her in July 2018, while
I was checking on the internet (Line) and saw chat messages and pictures sent from a woman,
and I asked via that Line named PITOU RATTANAK. After I found out, I asked my
husband, who was the Respondent, and he told me that he they were really his lover and
children. On child is named PITOU and another one named RATTANAK. That was why I
filed for divorce the Respondent, my husband. It is because I lost all of my emotion
connection and could no longer live together with the Respondent. The Respondent has been
living at his mother's house since July 14, 2018.

As for child custody, I would like to seek for the custody of my three children because
I can afford to raise them with my salary of $1043 (One thousand forty three US dollars). The
eldest child named LEAV MAYARY, Sex: Female, born on April 1, 2000, is 18 years and 8
months old. The second child is 13 years old and the third child is 11 years old. 

As for the alimony claim, I ask the Respondent to pay $500 a month in child support

due to the fact that the Respondent used to support $500 a month and more. My husband is a
civil servant working at the Ministry of National Defense; his salary is about 1,800,000 Riels,
so please the judge issue judgment as requested. 

As for debts, it is about $ 40,000 (Forty thousand US dollars) owed to friends, but

without supporting document. They are: 1. MAK SEREY SOKKHA, Sex: Female, in amount
of $19,000 (Nineteen thousand US dollars), which has not been paid; 2. LIM LY, Sex: Female,
in amount of $10,000 (Ten thousand US dollars), which has already been paid; 3. PHO
LAYNEANG, Sex: Female, in amount of $10,000 (Ten thousand US dollars), which is being
paid; 4. KHUON SOVANN POLIN, in amount of $8,500 (Eight thousand five hundred US
dollars), which has not been paid; 5. DOEUR SERELEN, in amount of $ 1,500 (One thousand
five hundred US dollars), which has not been paid. The total debts is $ 4,9,000 (Forty nine
thousand US dollars). For these debts, I borrowed more than 20,000 US dollars for the
business, and my husband, the Respondent, also borrowed from friends about 20,000
dollars. We do not have community property because we with parents. 

 - The statement made by the Petitioner HANG AMMRA  in the hearing session: I keep

my demand the same as before: 

By demanding in the first point: I keep requesting for divorce from the Respondent
LEAV VITIYATHOR, Sex: Male, born on August 09, 1974. 

Demand in the second point: To request for custody rights of the three children, and
for the demand in the third point for alimony of 500 $ a month, I reduce from 500$ to 250$ a
month. I asked the Respondent to help pay off the debt. The Respondent also knew that I still
owed others in amount of $ 49,000, and that I presently do not have a job, so I asked the
Respondent to help pay off the debt of $49,000 as much as possible. 

4. Facts confirmed by the Respondent

 - The Respondent LEAV VITIYATHOR made statement in the pre-hearing session: I
was truly married with the Respondent properly, and had our marriage registered as
per Marriage Certificate of Registration 217.99, dated January 19, 1999, issued by Daun Penh
District Office, as stated by the Petitioner, my wife. We have three children as stated by the
Petitioner, my wife. For the claim of the Petitioner that: I had love affairs with another woman
and had 2 children with her, one of which named LEAV SAMBATHPITOU and another of
which named PUTHI RATTANAK is true. However, I had broken off the relationship with
that woman for more than a year ago, almost 2 years, in 2017 after the Khmer New Year
Day. When my wife found out that I had another woman, I had already stopped having the
relationship with her, but because she lacked money, she contacted me like that.

As for the divorce claim between the Petitioner and me, I do not agree to divorce
because I am still in love with my family and still love my wife and I love the Petitioner 's
claim to control my child. Yes, I agree to give it to the Petitioner, but I ask for the right to visit
my son as usual, as my biological father. As for paying food obligations, I would like to pay
as much as possible, because every day I have paid my entire salary to pay off my debts. Yes,
I paid my salary one year ago to pay off their debts. For this debt, they owe about 20
thousand dollars, compared to the previous debt of about (US $ 100,000).

divorce from the Petitioner , and given authority to parents on their children his wife, the

demands of the Petitioner : I have a debt owed aunt Kim 11 . $ 000 and I paid just over twenty
thousand dollars, and I have evidence, sometimes come to court. This debt problem, when I

Registrar, Sras Chak quarter and the claim of the Petitioner and the Respondent claiming that
they were married according to Traditionally, on April 18, 1999, the Marriage Certificate
was legally registered in 1999, as in Marriage Certificate No. 217.99, dated May 19, 1999,
issued by the school , Daun Penh district . that the Petitioner and the Respondent truly
traditional married since 1999 and has signed a Marriage Certificate legally on 19 May 1999
and signed Certificate of Marriage No. 29 dated 19 May 2004 issued by the Civil Registrar ,
Sras Chak quarter real. The fact that the Petitioner and the Respondent live together by
signing a Marriage Certificate like this means       

 the Petitioner and the Respondent are legally married, living together legally.

1.2- the Petitioner claims for divorce with the Respondent because living together over a

disagreement stole her children but also makes all its romance with the Respondent And can
no longer continue to live together. In living with the Petitioner in the past, there are really
inconsistencies, as claimed by the Petitioner . The fact that the Respondent has also agreed to
divorce the Petitioner leads the court to believe that the marriage between the
Petitioner and the Respondent has indeed been severed without the hope of being able to
remarry.

able to make restitution, it is shown that the divorce claim of the Petitioner is in accordance
with Article 978- of the Civil Code The court should decide to divorce the Petitioner and the

Respondent have lived and studied under the care of the mother as the Petitioner from
infancy until now, if given to the Respondent , a man can not raise children. Well, because
both children are girls, the court believes that the Petitioner mother can educate and provide
for her child to become a good person in society, because the mother always educates and
cares for her child. Better than the father, the court should decide to hand over power to the
Petitioner in accordance with Article 1037-3 of the Civil Code.

the right to meet and communicate with the child, and the mother party who has parental
