If i file an annulment will this be enough grounds and how long will it take to be free at all.

Please advice.

i’ve been separated for 14 years now with my first wife. is this a legal way to divorse my marriage with her.

im having a family at this time and live comfortably with them.

how can i obtain to fully dissengage my marriage life with my first wife.

also at what stage or age whom we are abliged to sustain financial to our kids from broken marriage, am i obliged to make a financial sustain until or up to the children of my children?

please i need your advise.

Also i need to ask, why is the Philipines so backward in its social law? Divorce is sometimes nessessary for health reasons, both mental and physical. Is the country stuck in the 1600′s? How could filipinos stand for this law? Any other country would not allow its citizens to be stuck in situations like this.

I’m 24 years old..married for 3 years.. My husband met an accident 2 years ago.. Now, he’s suffering from amnesia.. He doesn’t recognize me even our daughter… she’s 2 years old.. it seems like the time that he’s not in good condition is longer than the time we spent our marriage together… although we have lots of issues to discuss with way back before he had this accident… like vices, money matters, third parties, etc. in short.. we were not really in good relationship.. we even thought of separating but still waiting for the right time to do so.. with all these legal and family matters/concerns.. going back to his condition… he’s neurologist/psychiatrist confronted us that he won’t get back to being “normal” as to before he had his accident.. but we’ll try to make him “functional” as what a normal person does.. his memory could be back 3 years 4 years 5 years from now but with no assurance… sadly it could never come back… his doctor added.. I know my responsibilities as his wife and until now im stil doing my part and even if were through i’l be doing the same until he gets healed.. but right now i want to be enlightened… what will i do sir?! Can this scenario be a basis for annulment?! how can i decide on this matter? we’ve thought this before he had his accident but now that he’s suffering from amnesia, how can i pursue such decision?! he’s incapable?! please sir… thanks…

if you had both civil and church wedding and wanted to file an annulment, will the procedures undergo for both civil and church? i am no longer a filipino citizen, is there any difference in the filing of annulment.

thanks

Is an uncontested divorce obtained by the foreign spouse in the US the same as the consensual divorce in japan?

I have this predicament that the divorce in the US, which is agreed divorce, will be tagged as the same consensual divorce and will not be recognized here.

Additional facts:
The petitioner is the foreign husband..
Grounds are:
1) no cohabitation for 5 years
2) marriage not consummated
3) no children
4) no property to divide

I hope you could help ease my confusion on this. Thank you so much

I was married to a foreigner, we were married here (civil ceremony), and i am presently here in the Phils. My Ex-Husband filed for divorced 2004 in Melbourne Australia and the divorced certificate is now in my hands. I managed to aunthenticate the documents from Australian Embassy here and at the DFA…and my questions is…how can i file with NSO that i am already divorced?? Do i still need to file a petitions at the court so that NSO would acknowledge my divorced certificate? Can i still get married overhere? What would be the legal actions to formalise everything that i am already divorced.

Hope to hear from you?
