Former actress and singer Lindsay Custodio has officially filed a complaint for Violence Against Women and Children (VAWC) against her ex-husband, Frederick Cale.

The filing took place with Lindsay personally present, joined by her son, mother, and godmother—who are also expected to serve as witnesses in the case. Her legal counsel, Atty. Heyz Meking, accompanied her in taking this step.

While specific details of the complaint haven’t been disclosed to the public, the case falls under the VAWC law, which addresses abuse—whether physical, emotional, psychological, or economic—committed by a spouse or former partner.

Lindsay has maintained a relatively low profile in
recent years following her exit from the showbiz industry, but this legal move brings her back into the public eye with a serious and personal matter.

Support has poured in from fans and friends alike, many praising her courage for taking a stand and seeking justice. As the case unfolds, more developments are expected in the coming weeks.
