Some old hand advice please

10 years ago

Hi guys
I am living with a Filipina and have been for three years or so.
We are living in my country, I met her here.
Problem is that all this time I have never seen any letters arrive to our house in her name, have never seen her passport or residency papers, her medical insurance or evidence of any tax being put in.
She claims she has a post office box ',in the city' and that her daughter who lives at the other end of the city (whom we never see, only once in three years) is holding all her documents.
I have asked her a few times to see these things and she always says that I don't trust her and gets mad.
She works but I pay all the bills, she helps out with food sometimes and we have a loose arrangement that she gives me $100 a fortnight, which I always have to ask for.
Is it unreasonable that I now give her a deadline to produce these things or she can leave?
What do you guys think.
Thanks
