My brother got married in the Philippines in 1996. His wife went to the United States in 2001 after a year (2002) she filed a divorce in the US against my brother and got married to a foreigner. My brother not knowing that she is not coming back again for him. My brother's questions are: a. Is the divorced filed by his ex-wife valid here in the philippines and/or will it be a great help when filing an annulment? b. He was abandoned by his wife for almost, 5 or 6 years, we heard in a news from a radio and most of his friends also told him that there is already a law that if husband/wife was abandoned by his/her spouse for 7 years... he/she can re-marry again without annulment due to abandonement. Is this true? I hope to hear from you the soonest. My brother has a gf for two years and wanted to get marry soon... I would like to help him because i think its so unfair for him if his ex wife now is happily married while my brother cant marry his gf here due to his case. Thanks and more power.
