My partner is married in the philipines, has gone through the annulment process (which her husband objected) and is now stuck married to someone who has hurt her greatly. Also, her properties and bank accounts cannot be touched, even though they were hers before she was married. Does anyone have any solutions to our problem?

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.

[...] that’s not what you need when filing for an annulment in the Philippines. Since divorce is not allowed in this pre-dominantly catholic country, annulment is the only recourse for failed marriages. This [...]

Hi,

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…

hi,

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

Hi. This thread is really informative. I would like to ask about the case of an “uncontested divorce” filed by the foreign husband in the US. I have heard that a divorce by “mutual consent” or “agreed divorce” in countries such as Japan and Korea cannot be recognized here if the filipina spouse files a Petition for Recognition.

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
