Court rejects Victor Consunji's petition to prevent Maggie Wilson from communicating with son
Maggie Wilson revealed that a court has junked the petition filed by her ex-husband Victor Consunji to prevent her from communicating with their son Connor.
On her Instagram stories, Wilson detailed that she recently received a decision from the court denying a petition for a Temporary and a Permanent Protection Order under the Anti- Violence Against Women and their Children Act filed by Consunji against her.
According to the model and beauty pageant titleholder, the petition was intended to stop her from being able to communicate or see her son, who has been staying with Consunji since their separation, on the basis that she is a "threat" to his mental and physical well-being.
"Despite several testimonies including the likes of Marc Nelson, who testified on his knowledge on behalf of the petitioner Victor Consunji of how my son suffered emotional stress, anxiety, and annoyance due to me, were all denied by the family court of the Republic of the Philippines," Wilson said.
She lamented, "Unfortunately, this exercise also subjected my son to being put on the stand at just 12 years old."
Sharing excerpts from the decision, Wilson said that the court regarded her social media postings about Connor as merely expressing the "love and longings of a mother to her son who was separated from her. The respondent really missed her son, nothing more and nothing less."
"There was no credible evidence to support a finding that respondent committed psychological violence against her son," the court added. "There is no reason to prohibit the respondent from communicating with her son. As a mother, the respondent has the right and duty to communicate with her son."
Wilson went on to express her gratitude to the judge and members of the family court "for seeing through what is right and just."
"I'd like to apologize for the behavior of my ex-husband for yet again wasting the court's valuable time," she added.
She ended her statement by posting a black and white picture of her and Connor embracing each other in front of a lake with the caption, "My love for you is unwavering, standing strong against the tests of distance and time."
In May, Wilson revealed that Connor is currently under a protection order that prohibits her from communicating with him until he is of legal age, which is 18 years old.
"It's been almost two years since I last held him and 494 days since we last spoke. I've missed two birthdays, two Christmases, two New Year's celebrations, and countless milestones. There is nothing more painful than the loss of a child who I know is growing up without me," she wrote at the time.
"I am a mother, but I have been robbed of being able to be a mother. Nonetheless, I will always be his mommy and that is something no one, not even time can erase. You are always with me Connor. Forever in my heart, in my mind, and my prayers," she highlighted.
Wilson announced her separation from Consunji in 2021 after 11 years of marriage.
