hello there,

i would like to ask several questions:

on Art. 63. The decree of legal separation shall have the following effects:
(1) The spouses shall be entitled to live separately from each other, but the marriage bonds shall not be severed;
– does this means that the couple is still technically “married” by law?

if a woman is legally seperated for almost 5 yrs got pregnant by another man, does art 164 of the philippines family code applies? does this means that the child is still a legal w/ in the bonds of marriage? can this be a ground for disqualification of her petition for annulment of marriage? what are the legal implications of this scenario?

thanks.

Hi, I just want to ask about my marriage status.. We got married last 2008 without the concent of his parents upon checking sa NSO it was been registered. After our marriage hindi po kami nagsama ng asawa ko. Recently lang po kami nagsama sa iisang bubongand this time alam narin po ng parents nya. Kaso lang po marami po kaming misunderstandings and lagi po kami talagang nag aaway. Dumating po sa point na nagkakasakitan na kami. Everytime we argue lagi nya pong sinasabi na maghiwalay na kami. This time po kasi parang hindi ko na po talaga kayang tiisin yung pananakit nya physically,emotionaly and sa tingin ko po I am mentaly abused narin dahil lagi lagi po niyang sinasabi na maghiwalay nalang kami. Meron po akong anak bago kami nagpaksal, pero sa ngayon po yung bata naka apelyido po sa kanya. TAnong ko lang po anu po kaya and pwedeng grounds para maghiwalay na kami. Kasi po Hindi na po talga nag wowrk out yung marriage namin and hindi narin po yata healthy na nagaaway kami lagi. Wala po kaming sariling anak dahil sa hindi rin po namin malamang dahilan hindi parin kami nagkakaroon. Wala naman din pong 3rd party both side. Pero yun nga po it seems hindi na talaga kami nagkakaintindihan. Natatakot po kasi ako na baka pag hindi pa kami naghiwalay mas lalo lang po kami mag away at humatong po sa hindi magandang resulta. I am 28 years old and He is 32.

Hello Atty,
Good Day!
I was in a relationship today mag 2 years na kami with a guy na married pero hiwalay na cla verbally hindi po na process yung hiwalayan nila kasi po nasa abroad yung girl …Ngayon dumating na yung babae at na file na na yung case cbi nya nya sa akin sabi ng Atty nila PART PALA SA PROCESS IS COUNSELING FOR 6 MONTHS (take note minimum daw yang 6 months kasi usually pag di cooperative ang mag asawa eh taon ang bibilangin)…so i have no choice but to follow the rules and regulations. Kailangan ba talaga magsama sila sa isang bahay para sa counselling?Ang grounds po ng annulment cbi ng bf ko is yung Abandonment at Impotence…. ang alam ko na dahilan bakit nasira yung pagsasama nila kasi yung babae ay irresponsible at lier kasi tinatago nya yung about sa financial aspect for almost 2 years at sa mga panloloko na ginawa sa knya ng babae… May laban ba ang bf ko sa annulment na ito?Di na kasi nya mahal yung babae…

Hopefully masagot nyo po ang mga tanong ko maraming salamat po.

Hi Atty,

My by got married 4 yrs ago, and he said that the marriage was just arrange for him to be able to go to canada. No feelings involve.The woman is a filipina but living in Canada and already acquired a canadian citizenship. After they get married they only have a month living together as a husband and wife and my bf got onboard and the woman flew back to canada. The thing is they didnt even have any constant communication for almost 4 yrs.Not even phone calls maybe there are some but my bf says that marriage is really nonsense. And my bf wants to file annulment because because we want to settle down. will that be consider as a ground for annulment? Thnak you so much… Hope that you help me regarding this matter. thank you

Good day Atty.!

I think this case is interesting for all. My present bf has a one yr old marriage to a previously married girl and who is older than him of 8 years. She has two kids. My bf wanted it to annul becoz of the following grounds:1.)She was ligated then before their civil wedding (and he wanted to have his own kids in his blood)2. The papers of the girl during the two-day preparation of their wedding didn’t reflect that she had a former marriage.And he just felt mercy and he was just confused of this decision that he thought this could make things well but he was wrong then!.3) Constant arguments between them were already happened and accdgly, it came up to a point where the said wife pointed him a very deadly knife that made him to flee form the area.4.) His parents knew nothing about this undertaking because they are really against of the girl.(He is above 25y.o. now)…Both of us has name to protect in the society.I just like to ask for an opinion from the desk of the attys about the strength of this annulment plan. Do you think the outcome of this petition if file will be in his favor? and be annulled immediately?

Thank you so much. We hope to receive your comments atty.
Please help.
