I am the second wife. My husband filed an annulment before the second marriage. He got the decision of nullity sometime in November 1999. He is not aware that copies should be provided to nso. He got also the Certificate of Finality which needed to be filed to nso as well. In year 2000, we got married knowing that his previous marriage had been annulled. The marriage was registered to NSO. My husband went to US for work. we had a child. In year 2006, i went to nso in Manila to get a copy of his previous marriage's license and found out that in Manila, he is still legally married to his wife because the cert of finality wasnot registered. Is our marriage in 2000 valid or not? Is my husband considered single up to now? do we need to remarry? I would like to ask. I am the second wife.

I am here to consult if my marriage is Void. I was married on 2002, I was 19 then. My Husband and I had two children. Through the advance technology nowadays, I Googled the information entered in our Marriage license.(e.g.; my address at the time of marriage, place of marriage, the solemnizing officer). I was shocked to find out that "my address" was not an existing address. it was rather a municipal hall. And our "place of marriage" was also a non-existing place.. I started to feel worried, some of my friends knew about this and told me that it was a total void. They even suggested me to get a CENOMAR. One thing more, when we got married, I really do not remember applying or having any requirements needed to marry. The person who solemnized our "marriage" was once a Local Official, He even typed the title "Reverend" before his name. Is this all legal? Is my License valid? Am I still single? Please let me know..Thank you. Good Day! I am here to consult if my marriage is Void.

The court has declared my 1st marriage as VOID AB INITIO and my 2 succeeding marriages with the same person as mere scrap of paper because they both happened before the petition. Whenever I secure a copy of the 1st marriage from the NSO, it states that marriage is void. When I get a copy of the last marriage, it doesn't show any remarks on it about the status of the marriage. what should I do to make sure that all my marriages are no longer in effect because my ex husband and i are not together anymore? The petition made was to correct the entry on the marriage certificate because my age was 23 instead of 19 but the judge declared it void. I am actually happy about it yet unsure of the steps i should take because my ex husband and his family are all telling me that the 2 other marriages are still in effect even if they were mentioned as MERE SCRAP OF PAPER on the final decision from court. I don't want to have any legal impediment if in case I would decide to marry again. Please help me. Thank you so much. I had been married thrice to the same person.

Been married for 7 years and our marriage was somewhat you'll say not an ideal one. I got her pregnant in 2003, and during that time i am under the impression that my child will not bear my name if im am not married with my "wife". As a decent thing to do, I have propsed for us to get married but she refuses and decided to go back to her province to think things through, after a week she came back and accepted the offer (by the way she was may girlfriend then from 2000). We got our civil marriage in our province in Nueva Ecijia. after our marriage we started to live as husband and wife unfortunately it didn't work out that way it was supposed to be. and it even gotten worst when she delivered our child. my mother-in-law was staying with us that time (she was separated too). through her short comings and have seek comfort of friends, mostly going out and drinking, just an excuse to release my pain. after 2 years, my wife threaten me that she's going to leave me if i will not change my life style. I was afraid that i will not be able to see my daughter again, so i call my father who was then an OFW and seek for a better oppurtunity outside the country. Fortunately i got a job in Saudi Arabia and after a few months i invested some money for them to follow me. My entire purpose is for us to get closer and maybe give some spark on our relationship. but it didn't turn out that way, we argue in a lot of things and we don't even act as a married couple. she doesn't even say she loves me (that was from the time we got married). day by day i always hope that something will change but nothing seems to work. till it gotten worst and this year when i came in the Philippines for our annual vacation. I just hit my limit. i can no longer take the fight arguments and even the verbal abuse. She even let me sleep outside my own house. that is why i came back in saudi arabia by myself. Oh by the way, in our seven years of marriage, from the time she got pregnant (2003) up to last quarter of 2008,we didn't have any sexual contact. only just in the next years she allows me to sleep with her, but i need to beg for it before she even consider and its all scheduled. We have no passionate moment, no romance in our 7 years and nothing but heartaches and bitterness. there are more detailed things in my story but i wont go that deep for now. My question is how to file my case and what possible grounds should i consider? i heard that both parties need to agree before filing an annulment case? what if she didn't sign or refuses? what are my alternatives? currently i am still in contact with them because i am continuously supporting my daughter. One inportant fact, my wife and my in law connived without me knowing that part of my educational plan was wasted and not paid. therefore, the educ plan was void and we can no longer collect anything for my daughters education.

We were married with my "ex" without a marriage license, but we signed a contract together with our witnesses. Our marriage was presided by a Judge but the Judge didn't know that we didn't have the requirements yet. She thought everything were ok. But she still proceeded with the ceremony provided we will comply with all the requirements needed to make our marriage valid. However, we failed to comply, and we just ignored it until we got separated (we lived together for only 3 months only). Given this situation, do I still need to do my aforementioned question before I remarry? Thanks for your help. God bless.

I got married last october 12, 2006. I and my family were fooled by my husband story that he's case in annulment to his 1st wife is already in the process, just waiting for the finality. He sounds so convincing and actually he was able to show me a legal document stating that he & his first wife is no longer connected and that he should give an amount of 15k/month for his obligation to his son (he had a 13 year old son). It was fast...my mistake is I easily believed him. After we got married, civil wedding...his real attitude finally showed to the point that I could not take the way he treated me anymore. Worst, I discovered that he's been using drugs (shabu) & is very drug dependent already. I left him. We had a son who's turning 2 this month. Aftersuch, some of his cousins contact me. Finally, the truth came out. Me & my family were fuming with anger when we found out that there had never been an annulment case with his first wife. We have a marriage record at the NSO & civil registrar, I want to know if my marriage with him is null and void. Please advice me on what to do...thank you so much! dear atty.
