Can someone automatically remarry after being separated, or when the other spouse had been “absent”, for several years? There are a number of questions along this line that were posted in the Forum. While there’s already an initial discussion on this, the question keeps cropping up, so let’s put this issue to rest once and for all.
The confusion appears to be based on Article 83 of the Civil Code, which reads:
Art. 83. Any marriage subsequently contracted by any person during the lifetime of the first spouse of such person with any other person other than such first spouse shall be illegal and void from its performance, unless:
xxx(2) The first spouse had been absent for seven consecutive years at the time of the second marriage without the spouse present having news of the absentee being alive, or if the absentee, though he has been absent for less than seven years, is generally considered as dead and believed to be so by the spouse present at the time of the contracting such subsequent marriage, or if the absentee is presumed dead according to articles 390 and 391. The marriage so contracted shall be valid in any of the three cases until declared null and void by a competent court.
If you stumbled on this provision, you may have this idea that a spouse can remarry even without securing a judicial declaration of presumptive death. In other words, there is NO need to go to court and it’s enough that any of the following circumstances is present: (a) there be no news that such absentee is still alive; (b) the absentee is generally considered to be dead and believed to be so by the spouse present; and (c) the absentee is presumed dead under Article 390 and 391 of the Civil Code.
This understanding would have been correct, except that Article 83 of the Civil Code was superseded by the Family Code, which now provides:
Art. 41. A marriage contracted by any person during the subsistence of a previous marriage shall be null and void, unless before the celebration of the subsequent marriage, the prior spouse had been absent for four consecutive years and the spouse present had a well-founded belief that the absent spouse was already dead. In case of disappearance where there is danger of death under the circumstances set forth in the provision of Article 391 of the Civil Code, an absence of only two years shall be sufficient.
For the purpose of contracting the subsequent marriage under the preceding paragraph, the spouse present must institute a summary proceeding as provided in this Code for the declaration of presumptive death of the absentee, without prejudice to the effect of reappearance of the absent spouse.
[For a discussion on whether a court-approved legal separation entitles the spouses to remarry, refer to: Can a Legally Separated Person Remarry.]
As the law now stands, a married person must, for purposes of remarriage, file the necessary action in court and ask for a declaration of presumptive death of the “absent” spouse. The crucial differences under the Civil Code and Family Code provisions are:
- 1. Under the Family Code, the time required for the presumption to arise has been shortened to 4 years.
- 2. Under the Family Code, there is need for a judicial declaration of presumptive death to enable the spouse present to remarry.
- 3. Under the Family Code, a stricter standard is imposed: there must be a “well founded belief” that the absentee is already dead before a petition for declaration of presumptive death can be granted. A married person must conduct a search for his missing spouse with such diligence as to give rise to a “well-founded belief” that he/she is dead.
For an extended discussion on declaration of presumptive death, please click here to read the previous article entitled: “Presumptive death of a spouse for subsequent marriage.” Just to be clear: no matter how long a spouse is “absent”, the present spouse CANNOT remarry unless there is a judicial declaration of presumptive death.

Dear Sir,
i’m 4 years separated with my husband, with no support and all. i want to file an annullment but he is not here on the Philippines. last time I’ve heard nasa Greece nakadaong ung barkong sinasakyan niya. He is a seaman.. by the way. tanga siguro ako or ma-pride lang pero hindi ako naghabol ng allotment. Its either mother nia or yung mistress nia ang tumatanggap. I don’t care anyway. all i want is to get an annulment and i’m gonna use his inability to give us support kahit may trabaho siya as a ground.
But how will i do it if he is not here???
Please advice…. thanks..
Atty Fred

Same situation po tayo!!!but I still filling a annulment …and need pa din mg hearing…para maikasal po ako ulit.
Saan ka nagfile
This is a problem of my friend. How can he secure for the cancellation of his record from the National Statistics Office from a previous marriage which is separated for almost 53 years and he wants to remarry. Both of them married abroad for another partner, his wife divorced now from his partner & he has been widowed for almost a year. How can he remarry because before he can acquire for a marriage license one of the requirement is the Cenomar and after securing from the NSO his marriage has not been cancelled. What advise could you give. What he should do to cancel his marriage? Thank you.

No you cannot just remarry even if you discover that your husband is previously married. You have to file for a nullity of your marriage.
Go abroad and marry a foreigner.

What do you need the annulment for???
He is living the life he wants and not this stupid law is stoping him.
Get a life!! Life is too short to care this fucking law! Do not let this stupid stop you from living the life you want!!
This stupid law is just made by stupid humans anyway. They made it imposssible to get annuled even both parties agreed. Gusto nila isa dapat sa inyo mamatay!!!

Ang maging patas ang Batas as manloloko, at as nagpaloko..
Totally, agree. Go spend that money elsewhere. Enjoy with your partner, without being married. I checked the cost of annulment and even legal separation, and it is too costly. Not to mention the hassle of the entire process.
hi i am a widow and i have a boyfriend but he is still married – verbally separated for 5 years. my bf is a seaman and that he has no communication to his wife except that he was still sending his allotment for his kids.

Dear Attorney,
I am confused with the first paragraph that said, one can remarry even without going to court for judicial process when the marriage had been inactive for at least 7 years. I had been separated for more than 13 years now or since January 4, 2004 to be exact. During our marriage or living together in 10 years I had never got a support from my husband and had been suffering his being vicious (gambling, drugs and women). In 2012, I met a man who helped me in sending my 2 kids to school and let them finished college. He is older than me and he wanted me to marry him in order for me to get the benefits in case he will leave this world ahead of me. I cannot afford those expensive annulment fees that lawyers are charging. My only question because I don’t fully understand the provision of this Family Code…can I marry again without going to court and file annulment?
First of all mae.. u can file an annullment even he is not here.. what you should do is to get a lawyer.. so that you will know the grounds for annulment.. because even if you have a money to file the petition(expensive) there is specific grounds to grant ur annulment so better consult a lawyer for that.
Gud pm po ask q lng po kung sa loob po ng 10yrs n hiwalay po aq sa aking dting asawa at ngaun po ay may kinakasama n kming iba pwede npo b kming magpakasal sa iba khit walang annulment?
Hiwalay npo kami ng ex husband ko almost 20years.pde npo b ako magpakasal ulit na dna dadaan sa annulment o dissolution?abg mahal po kc ng annulment.help me po please..God Bless
Good day! My situation is I got civilly married last april 10, 2008. He is married before but he told me that they already filed annulment. then just recently I secured his CENOMAR to check if our marriage already registered in census and I found out his first marriage april of 1995 still not nullified. Which means he entered into two marriages.. and our marriage is void.. what should we do to make it valid? should we annul both marriages and get married again or just nullify the first marriage? I want to clear out everything before we got church marriage.
Clearly ur marriage is null and void.. annul the first marriage..if it is annuled already..then thats the time you can go for a new ceremony..
A woman has been married for 12 years in the Philippines and her marriage was never a happy one because for many times her husband has been unfaithful to her. Now she went abroad in Saudi Arabia and after 2 years, she met a man she loves more than her husband who forgotten even to text her. Later, she and her boyfriend converted and embraces Islam and decided to get married under Islamic Law. Now, the question is, Is the second marriage committed any violations as far as the Philippines law is concerned? Is there any provision under the Philippines law with regard to marriages such as this one? Thanks!
hi, how about if i’m married but not lving together for 10yrs. now? is it considered if my husband get marry again? i don’t care anyway.
please help.

to : dess_09,
Friend, first and foremost, you ought not to have a relationship with someone who is already married. Wait for the right person in and get married at the right time. At your case now, you dont have the right person because he is already married. Keep away from him. If he is not able to make good of his relationship with his present wife, how can you be sure that he can make a relationship with you. Friend, it is better to stay single than marry the wrong person. Friend, get a good and clear conscience. Let us do unto others what we want others to do unto us. We are going to stand before God and He will account how we handled the life HE has given us. HE will judge us.
Lawyers are here to help people understand and help people obey the laws of the land. Lawyers can be tempted to get your case and they can file for annulment but remember that
With all due respect Sir. You have a logical fallacy in the advise you give. If you are going to quote the bible then you must remain consistent in your arguments or you will have no validity with those whom you give advise too. God gave all power and authority to Christ Jesus. Jesus Stated clearly in Matthew 5:32. Jesus stated it is wrong to divorce except for the reason of adultery. I didn’t mean divorce had to happen however, with unrepentant adultery or “pornia” (sexual sin). The Innocent party was free to move on and remarry. This was a worse case scenario. The these laws that you defend are unjust and immoral. They are not Gods complete commandment on the issue. These marriage laws do not protect the innocent in a marriage (those who haven’t committed adultery). These laws are oppressive. They do not allow for freedom of association. Which is a right in any free society. Most of all they are immoral. The laws adulterate Gods complete revelation on the matter. If you are a consistent and free man I don’t know how you can tolerate this in your country.
Blessings,
Lee

they already have a child. Please think of their child. People do not know it, but a child having parents who are separated are emotionally affected.
God Bless You!
A friend is married in Phil. thru civil wedding and the marriage lasted only for 8 months. They have a love child which carries the surname of the father. The girl left the man since he is a drug addict. She left and went to Dubai and found a divorced arab muslim man and got married in shariah court. They are still in marriage for 6 years now. Which marriage is valid? How to make the 1st marriage void? What are the remedy to make the 2nd marriage valid in Phil.? Can the new husband adopt the child of the Filipina wife? How?
Please advice. Thank you in advance for your response.
Hi, I am currently living now here in Dubai. Me and my boyfriend wants to get married and have requested for a Certificate of Singleness. Upon receiving the CENOMAR it shows that he is still a certified single and there is no record of marriage in his name.
Two days ago I accidently search one of his mail and there was one message with attachment that surprised me. I found a document which is a marriage contract with his name and a gurl’s name on it, stating that they was once married. I am really confused and ask the guy. He told me that the marriage took place a long time ago (i dont know the exact date) in the municipality office in Quezon City which appears to be a Civil wedding. But now, they were separated with each other and living separate lives.
My question is, is there any possibility that their marriage is not legal? Because it was not forwarded in the NSO office, and NSO doesn’t have any record of their wedding? I am really confused now. Can I still marry him? is it not against our Philippine law?
Kindly advice and i will really appreciate your help in this. Thank you.
dear sir,
i would just like to know if i can remarry again. my bf and i are both married though we are both seperated (not legally) from our respective partners. he has one child with his (ex) wife and they filed na for an anulment, on my part, i have a child too with my (ex) husband and i have filed for an anulment myself. i havent seen and spoke to him since january 08. can i remarry anytime soon? i dont even know where he lives and if he is still alive. what should i do?
Do what you gotta do that will make you happy.
Dear Sir,
Against my own parent’s and family’s wishes, I eloped and married in July 1977. It was an abusive marriage so I’ve been separated since Jan 25, 1995; and got my divorce judgment in the States in 2001. My husband has been living in the States since 1991 but still is an undocumented [TNT].So we have not been living together since. I feel like I’m married to SOMETHING!!
I’ve been with a foreigner since 2005 and we wish to marry but because of my complicated status, we cannot seem to arrive there.
Several have suggested that we marry even in HongKong since divorce is recognized there, then we may live here “quietly”. Since we wish to settle here in the Philippines, my fiance still has a couple of concerns regarding our situation:
1]. If we go ahead and marry in HongKong our marriage still won’t be recognized by Philippine Law therefore making me a bigamist.
2]. Can my ex-husband sue me for bigamy even if he cannot leave US soil due to his undocumented status? Can he file a case in absentia?
3]. What can we do? I tried to file for annulment but it receive 2 denial judgments from the QC RTC and Court of Appeals. Many say that this is practically a death sentence when the COA gives its verdict.
I’ve not seen or lived with my husband since 1995. Isn’t there any law stating that couples who have not lived or been together for a certain number of years automatically dissolves the contract?
I feel so stuck because I would like to marry again and live here in the Philippines but fear being sued in the future. Please advice. Thank you so much
Any remedy for my case? i have been separated from my husband for almost 10 years. He is now living in with another woman. Prior to this woman, he married another woman, meaning bigamous marriage, still invalid?
What remedy would u suggest other than request for annulment? for me to marry a foreigner?
Hi..same tau ng situation..I’m also asking for advice for I’m going to Mary a British Man..what should I do to get visa..
@ Blace/lambstbl1, the topic above addresses your concern. There seems to be a continuing impression that mere separation for a number of years is enough to automatically nullify a marriage. I’ve been trying to figure out the source of this misimpression, but with no luck. It’s true that during the process of drafting the Family Code, the Family Law Committee thought of absolute divorce, with some members favoring a no-fault divorce between the spouses after a number of years of separation. This, however, was not carried out and there is no provision of that sort under Philippine law. Perhaps we could trace the history in the next article.
@ Simple Mae/elle_beauty/e_gmel/des_09/maryann/donnalyn24/girlcomplicated/gigipasia — I believe your queries are covered by other topics; not here. Please take time to check the other relevant discussions. Thank you.

Atty. Fred
I was married 1990 and it was known to me that he was married( shotgun wedding)in other city and they have a child. I went to abroad to work and he was always gallivanting with other girls so after 3 times of going back home from abroad i decided not to coming back home since 1995 and i stayed abroad for 12 years and without any communication, and i heard a story from my friend that he get married in civil in another place and they live now in our house as a husband and wife. So i am home last 2006 and i filed for an annulment but it was complicated with the collusion when the sheriff serve the summon the new wife received it and proclaim that she is the wife to the fiscal stated the report for a collusion. If it happens that his first married(shotgun wedding) had a record at the NSO my marriage to him will be null and void? I want your help with this.

I just want to ask if its true.
My ex american husband got our divorce decree in guam, he told me , that he can get married in the philippines with his new gf without going thru recognition of divorce decree. Is it true? he told me, that, his lawyer in guam told him that. How about our record in NSO, were still married since our divorce decree still not recognize in the government law.

Under the Family Code, a stricter standard is imposed: there must be a “well founded belief” that the absentee is already dead before a petition for declaration of presumptive death can be granted. A married person must conduct a search for his missing spouse with such diligence as to give rise to a “well-founded belief” that he/she is dead.
Dear Atty Fred,
I was married in 1987 and my marriage fell apart on 1997 due to infidelity on my husband’s part. By 2000, we were practically estranged and separated, with absolutely no communication whatsoever.
Since that time, I was solely providing support to my two children, up to the present, and my children and I were living under the assumption that he was either with another woman or that he may have died due to a prevailing heart condition.
Now that I have found someone and would like to marry again, I would like to know the following:
1. Based on the preceeding statement quoted in this text, please qualify the phrase “well founded belief” for me, in order to be able to file the necessary documentations related to this, i.e., What “proof” is needed to substantiate that my husband is indeed presumed dead, considering that I do not know where he currently resides; and that my former in-laws are estranged from me.
2. What are the necessary initial steps to be able to start the process with an attorney;
3. What are the step by step processeses that it will entail once the filing of documentation has started; and
4. How long will it take for me to be able to receive a decision from the court.
Many thanks for considering this post.

Dear Sir,
Good day! My situation is that me and my boyfriend want to have a civil marriage, but the problem is that my boyfriend has already been married once to other girl. it means that he has already a wife with 2 children. now my boyfriend keep telling me that their marriage is invalid because his wife is legally married to other guy. then recently we secure a CENOMAR to check if it is true and we found out that his wife got first marriage on October 1988 still not nullified and the second one is on May 2007 to my boyfriend. which means that the wife of my boyfriend entered into two marriages.
My question is the marriage of my boyfriend with his wife valid?
if the second marriage is invalid can we have a civil marriage? can we have our marriage even if my boyfriend has a record in the CENOMAR? what are the steps or things we should do to clear the record of my boyfriend in the CENOMAR?
thank you and I’m hoping for your legal advice…
Pls. email me in anonymous_burbs@yahoo.com
Hi, i am married for over 5 years now and i have one son. But i separated with my husband for four years already it means we live together as husband and wife for 1 year only.aWe separated because i found out that he has another relationship while he is out of the country OJT and i spoke with the girl also to confirm and yes they have a secret relationship.
He is not supporting me and the child eversine we live together until this very day, not even once when my son has to be hospitalized for a number of times.
Now i am working abroad for two years. He just e-mailed me this month informing me that the girl he is going with now is 5 months pregnant and he wants to be free from me and marry the girl.
Can you advise me what exactly i have to do with this to legally separate us as i dont want to go after him anymore.
Marriage in the Philippines is an inviolable social institution. The law inclines toward the preservation of marriage. Mere separation for a number of years is not a ground for annulment. There are certain conditions that should be met before annulment to be granted.

i have been separated since May of 2004. i got news from friends that my ex is living with another woman and they already have 2 children. my ex and i do not communicate, except for a couple of times that we need to talk about the annulment (through text). last time we texted was a year before and have not communicated from him since. could i use this 7 years absence as a ground for the nullity of my marriage? help!
Atty. Fred,
I have question, my friend and her husband got a civil wedding, after a couple of years living together unluckily they got separated for almost 8 years now. My friend heard that her X- husband was re-married and has already a child with his new wife. Is the marriage already null and void? since her x husband was already re married. She dont wanna file any case cause its gonna be hassle for both party, since her husband already had his family. any advices? thanks so much!
Gud day sir,
My girlfriend and I are planning to get married on civil, but she was married to a guy before with whom she did not knot was still married to his first wife. I checked her CENOMAR and she was registered as being married to that guy. My question is, is her marriage to the first guy null and void even though, she is registered in CENSUS as married to that guy?

Dear Sir,
A very good day!
This is regarding about my marriage on 1999. That from year 2001 up to present me and my two son’s was been abandoned by my husband. No call, no letter, No Supports nothing at all. He was in japan when we lost connection with him but after few years he comes back to philippines but never visited us or even call us. The sad part that I discovered was he was hiding from us, so I don’t want to waste my time with him, I have my kids to look after and prepare for their future, then I decided to move on alone with my kids, I was a single mom and proud that im supporting my kids alone and surviving. They are both studying and doing well, my parents were looking after them as I have to work abroad to support them. What I want to do is to make a legal seperation with my husband. Lots of my friends are telling that my marriage is already null or void as my husband abandoned us for more than 11years, but will that be possible that my marriage is already null or void after 11years without any communication from him? I want everything to be legal that whatever I will do in the future he cannot go behind me or to my kids and he cannot bother us. im just thinking if i can do even a legal separation, will i be able to get married again in future?. Please help me with this matter and can I do this matter even im out of country? I might come this year for 30days vacation. I will greatly appreciate it if you can help me or give me a advice.
Awaiting for your reply.
Dear Sir,
My husband and I are not leaving together for 5yrs now. He is not supporting our kids and not even bothering checking them. But his parents,who are in New Jersey are continuously sending support specially materials things to my kids. We have 8yrs old and 6yrs old daughter. Our youngest is almost 1Omos when we started not living together,but before that happens he was asked by my mother if there is another woman and he clearly said yes.And told my mom to take me and my kids because he can’t give whatever we need and he can’t leave the girl.
Last year I intended to discussed with him about our arrangement with our kids, he replied that we will talk once he is settle because he said that time he doesn’t have work and cant even raise himself. Since then he didn’t email back.
How can I consider that we are legally separated? Can I remarry? What are the needful so I can have a new life, me and my kids. As I wanted to have a complete family,so if there will be someone who can accept my kids and offer marriage,what can I do? How can I say yes in this kind of situation I have? Please I need your legal advise.

Good Day to all.
I got married to a British national in NOV 2006 in angeles pampanga, and after only 3 months he left after we had argument about his real person and never saw him again. He have threatened me through chat and email, financially and emotionally crippled me. When i heard from him late DEC 2007 only to receive email with copy of his marriage certificate to another woman in UK. And when i ask him why did he not get divorce first his reply was he never registered our marriage in UK so no reason for him to file divorce and he does not plan to come back and pay for annulment he wanted me to suffer and not be able to re-marry or have a life. I was told that if he gets divorce in UK it will be honored here. So one time i was able to scare him of bigamy and get him to talk to divorce lawyer in UK but after they sent me draft of proposed divorce and after i sent them documents they ask for i got message from his solicitors saying that my ex or husband did not go back and not pushed through with the case. He knew i do not have the capability to file case because i don’t have enough money, so he just played and fooled me to believing that he was going to take care of it. What kind of law or country do we have if it can not even protect the rights of it’s citizens. I am financially broke, i have one daughter from previous relationship who is in college and can not afford to file annulment or even bigamy since i do not know how he can be persecuted, it has been almost 5 years am suffering from abandonment and not being able to move on and have new life due to our Philippine laws. And because i had been in the news long time ago, i am so ashamed to even file a case afraid of what people might say. I am BEGGING Law makers please don’t stop pushing divorce law, and if anyone can help me. I need advice. Is there a way for me to file bigamy and annulment without having to pay big money? Can a PAO help me? I hope that our bishops and priest consider and think of cases like mine before they say NO to divorce. I’ am a catholic, but sometimes I even think of becoming a Muslim just so i can get divorce and have fair chance in life like foreigners do. May God Bless Us All…. Thank you very much..
Dear Atty.
I have a querry about my bf that he was married 13 years ago. But their marriage just last for two years.

Right after, the woman(wife) was already married to other man in Ilocos. Now, I met my bf and have planned to get marry. Do we still have to file annulment of the first marriage and get anny declaration of nullity of the first marriage to pursue our(my bf and I)marriage? Or just marry each other? I’m confuse with the scenario…For me, I’m no longer getting younger and i love my bf…In as much as possible, I need your best leagal advice. The woman (the wife) had compromise that she will no longer get in trouble to us. And also, I wanted a legal marriage… Please help me out. Thank you very much…I hope for your prompt attention to this matter…
I was married in 1986, and left the PI to work in Taiwan after 1 year of being married. I left my wife to work abroad so I can give her a better life. After being there for some few months, I found out she was seeing another man, and I confronted her and she confesed to me and asking for forgiveness. I told her I will no longer live with her, and instead spent years abroad with no communication or whatsoever with her. After 8 years, I found my current GF, we had 2 kids. My question is, I want to marry her, is 25 years of being separated from my first wife enough to annull my first marriage? She found me on facebook and learned that she married another man and they have 5 kids. Please let me know.
thank you

My first civil marriage was on 2001 and it followed a church wedding on 2002. We got separated 2003.
I found out that he got married last Nov 2010. He now has a son.
My second marriage was on 2005 however my husband was previously married. The only reason we got married was for our daughter to be legitimate in paper. Eventually we got separated on 2009. He remarried last Apr 2011.
My only desire is to nullify my two marriages so that I can regain my single status and if possible, I would also like to fix my daughter’s name. Presently, I have a domestic partner and we already have a 1 yr old son.
Please advise.
Atty,
Can I file an annulment even we did not reached 4 years of being separated? The reason was by the time we were married for 4 years he promised to finish his studies and will have work. But within those years he’d been changing schools and cannot find what he’ll want for us, he constantly lie of being in school but always at the end to be discovered that he’d be just playing computer games. He’d been doing this ever since and I thought he would change his ways but never. I am screwed up with his lies and promises.

I am legally married last May 2000. after our marriage, I’ve change all my gov’t status like Voters ID, SSS,Philhealth etc.. Me and my husband separated last 2008. I have all my kids with me and I never asked for any financial support from him. He has his new family now and I’m also living with someone and 3 months pregnant.
My questions are:
1.) Is it possible for my new born baby to have his fathers surname (my bf)even if Im still bringing my husbands surname?
2.) Can my new born baby have my maiden name instead of my surname(my husband’s surname)or his father’s surname (my bf)?
3.) Can I still avail my SSS maternity benefit even if my new born baby’s surname in his Birth Cert. is my maiden name?
4.) if me and my husband reach 7 years of separation, our marriage can be considered as null and void?
I hope you can help me with my problems. Your immediate response is highly appreciated.
Thank you!

Dear Atty.at the age of 19 i got my girlfriend pregnant ( but im not sure if it was mine because she told me she had sex with another guy) and decided to marry her knowing na baka hindi nga ako ang ama but i was madly inlove with her and forgive her for what happen ( iwas really stupid )but then i married her in civil marriage in our town. after giving birth to our child we got separated kasi nag aaral pa kmi during that time so i just visited my daughter once in a awhile. i found out na my wife is having a boyfriend kaya lalo nang nawalan ako ng chance na magkabalikan pa kmi.so after college i decided to go abroad to Saudi Arabia for a straight of 5 years. but i was giving child support on a regular basis. from when i came home i found out that she was also abroad with a lesbian partner , i tried many time to be in contact to save our relationship but i lost hope i decided to covert to Isla mi sAudi Arabia finding my true religion and after conversion i told the family of my ex wife that i am looking for someone to be with and i wanted to have my own family and they said ok naman wala naman maghahabol sayo” so i decided to look for someone
and found my 2nd wife in saudi and she was converted to islam and got married in a Muslim way in Saudi but my 2nd wifes family didnt know that we were married to a Muslim wedding so when we came back for vacation in the Philippines his father ask us to be married in church
so we decided to get married in church me knowing that my first wedding was not yet annulled. we had 2 kids. then came this 2010 that me and my wife decided to move to the Philippines to start our own business. my 1st child from my fist wife moved in with us and it came that she handed a copy of my first marriage to my wife and saw it she never knew that i was married before, so she was very upset but she loved me so much that she forgive me for that . i t came that my 1st child is going to college and her mom run out of work abroad and separated with her lesbian partner. and she wanted to give her child a good education so they struggle to get her to an exclusive school. knowing that she didnt have a job here in the philippines . so now she is squeezing me to support more of what i can afford and threatens to file a bigamy case against me. iam willing to support but i cannot bury the treat cause everytime she ask for increasing the support she threatens to file a case. i need your advise , sorry if this was such a long story.. i just need know that if i have a chance to fight for myself in court….

Dear Attorney,
Good day!
I am Filipina and got married to a Korean in 2007 here in the Philippines. I stayed with my husband for 3 months in Korea. Yet after 3 months, we decided to separate and he filed a divorce in Korean Court which was granted immediately. I haven’t heard from him for 6 years now. In 2007, I tried several times to communicate with him, but he never answered me. My problem now is, what can i possibly do so I can marry again? I do not know his whereabouts anymore since he applied for permanent residency to America way back then, but given I located him, I know he will not come here to spend money just to make our separation legal in Philippine Court. Please advise. I do not know what to do anymore. Thank you so much!
My husband and I have no communication whatsoever for over three years now. No financial suppoort, no text.. nothing. I know he is somewhere in Mindanao but this information is based more than three years ago when he was still heard of. What’s our status? I don’t have any means to know whether he’s still existing or not. And honestly, I don’t want to even know. I’m happy with my life now. Do I still have the right to venture into a new relationship? What am I suppose to do legally if I can’t contact him anymore. Thank you and more power!

Gud pm po atty, tanong ko lang po kung my bisa pa po ba ang kasal ko sa naglaho kong asawa 5 taon na po ang lumipas at ngayon po 5 months na pong alang suporta sa mga anak ko. Na dati po ay kapiranggot lang na magagastos lang ng mga anak niya ng isang linggo. Ganun po ka liit ang suporta. Consider na po ba wala na bisa ang kasal namin? D ko po alam kung nakulong, napatay o nagtatago lang o tinatago ng mga kamag anak niyang sakim sa pera. Mahirap po pala ang asawang banko ng angkan kasi kahit may mga anak na obligado pa din na sumuporta sa mga tiyuhin, tiyahin, kapatid, lola nanay at mga pamangkin at pati apo sa pamangkin. Alam ko po na may kasalanan din siya kasi nasa kanya din naman kung ayaw nya mag pa uto.

Hi, I am currently living now here in Dubai. Me and my boyfriend wants to get married and have requested for a Certificate of Singleness. Upon receiving the CENOMAR it shows that he is still a certified single and there is no record of marriage in his name.
Two days ago I accidently search one of his mail and there was one message with attachment that surprised me. I found a document which is a marriage contract with his name and a gurl’s name on it, stating that they was once married. I am really confused and ask the guy. He told me that the marriage took place a long time ago (i dont know the exact date) in the municipality office in Quezon City which appears to be a Civil wedding. But now, they were separated with each other and living separate lives.
My question is, is there any possibility that their marriage is not legal? Because it was not forwarded in the NSO office, and NSO doesn’t have any record of their wedding? I am really confused now. Can I still marry him? is it not against our Philippine law?
dear atty,
atty kinasal po ako noong 1999 bago ko ipanganak ang anak namin.makalipas po ang isang taon naghiwalay na kami.mula nang ako’y mabuntis hanggang manganak, wala po siyang binigay na suporta.pareho po kaming may asawa na ngayon.pero mula po nang kami’y maghiwalay, wala na po kaming communication.di naman po siya nagbibigay ng suporta.atty, pwede na po ba akong ikasal?kasi po meron na po akong asawa ngayon at siya po ngayon ang tumatayong ama sa anak namin.kailangan pa po bang dumaan sa annulment o diretso na po kaming papaksal kasi 15 years old na po ang panganay namin ng una kong asawa.

Good Day!
I’m separated from my ex-wife (ilegally) for more or less 3 years now. I’m currently providing my kid’s tuition fee (as child support) and borrowing my son from time to time. A lot of reasons why i left my ex-wife, one being a slob and not wanting to work to help out the family finances. I even saw a recorded sexual intercourse on her cellphone – which i mistakenly deleted since I was in great shock and didn’t want to have that video around or near me. In an effort to save the marriage, i forgave her and we still levved together but things just got worse. Unfortunately some things didn’t change. she still doesn’t want to work even after me begging for her to look for one… and still lived like a slob.
I’m now living with someone else and now have a kid of our own. What action/s should I take for me to officially end my marriage? Legal Separation? I know I have no grounds for annulment…
dear sir’
i had been married for almost 13 years. my wife and i was physically separated for over 2 years. the reason is, she pointed a knife on my neck that if she will do it right in front of my 2 kids. from that day i left her and she decided to take those kids with her without my knowledge. after she had taken those kids she attempt to kill her self by taking Lysol (cleaning liquid) to where she was taken to the hospital from treatment. she was tested by psychological doctors to where depressant causes it. Can i file a case to where our marriage be null and void?
Atty.,
Me and my girlfriend was bothering by her x husband, she was married last july 2011 and after they married she went back to saudi arabia to work as a nurse. but prior to their married we were steady boyfriend and girlfriend and before she went home to philippines for her annual vacation we have a big fight then i found out that she was force to marry her x boyfriend because her x boyfriend threatening her and even send NBI agent in their house and also they barangay captain telling her that she has barrow huge amount of money to certain person but she did not pay it back. So she was afraid and since we still not talking to each other during our vacation. She meet her x in Manila just to talk and he prepared for civil wedding ceremony..
So in one word they got married but no member of the family of the guy attended the civil wedding ceremony. and all expenses was shoulder by her more or less 30pesos. since then she’s not recieving any monthly support from her husband, she doesnt have any bank account details of her husband nor western union money transfer to her account. Every details involving money and pension was being send directly to her husband sisters or mother.
She even sent him twice money. by the way the guy was a seaman and my girlfriend was a nurse in saudi arabia.
The whole time they been together since boyfriend / girfriend, the girl is always spending for everything, she even support his review for seaman licensed and everything she gave to him.
And my she wants to get out from their relationship so she went back to saudi to work again after their married in July 2011, and we meet again in saudi in 2011 and we get intimate with love..theres a saying that love is sweeter the second time around..she got pregnant while we were in saudi but nobody knows about it except her 2 sisters and her mother, so went home to philippines but unfortunately the child lose after 5months of pregnancy. She recover from that sad situation and again she apply for another tour of duty in saudi arabia but before she leave the philippines she meet with her husband just for his request on his birthday and then he got drunk aand beaten my girlfriend resulting in bruises and scratches. since then she never attempted nor contact her husband and we get more close to each other and even my family was to closed to her..
and now, her x husband was threatening her to file a case against both of us.. but prior to that on 2012 her x husband already filed annulment case and she accepted it and just waiting for the hearing, unfortunately when she tried to contact his x husband lawyer they said that their client is not responding anymore to their calls regaarding the status of the case so meaning the case was no pending.
My girlfriend was so affraid now, she dont know what to do.
By the way were both working overseas, she work in saudi arabia and im here in LAOS..
Atty, please give advice on what to do..shall we file annulment case even if were overseas.

Dear Sir,
i just want to ask about my marital problems.
i was married with a Japanese national last 2001 (honestly i can’t remember if it was 2000 or 2001) in Las Pinas City.
after our marriage, he went back to Japan, but we never lived together as husband and wife until i divorced him when i went to Japan with an employee visa because i discovered that he was dating other Filipina..
from then, we never met or had any communication.
here is my question: is my case be considered as null and void, and what will i do to make my documents legal? a year ago, i am already dating someone and planning to marry..
advice, please.
thanks and God bless..

hello sir,
I am badly in need of help.I am a teacher,a mother of 3 kds and married. But not lucky in the field of marriage.We were separated with my husband for almost 3 years, he never give support to our kids (since the beginning of our marriage). I tried to save our marriage but i just cant. My concern is,i have lots of debts to the extent that my salary is not enough for our daily needs. I am asking for help so that our marriage will be annulled so i can look for somebody else to help me in raising my family. Majirap po kasi nasa government sevice ako. Napakahirap magkamali. I am just but human, minsan nagkakamali. Pero hirap na hirap na po akong mag-isa. Kailangan ko din po ng kasamang susuporta sa mga anak ko. Can i ask for PAO to handle my case??/
I hate this annulment ..i filed it and was only dismissed and you know I spent a lot of money,,,nag file ako dahil gusto ko na ng freedom ko and because my ex husband lives with his prostitute wife with one child…i have three kids….annulment in philippines really sucks!!! Ang daming ground but in the end madi dismissed lang and now my lawyer wants me to file for reconsideration, does that mean me chance pa to appeal about the case…please advice….i dont live with him since 2011 after knowing about that prostitute woman got pregnant by my ex husband…
Dear Sir,
My (ex)wife and I have separated in 2012, but we have not filed yet a legal separation. I have no idea where she is right now. I would like to inquire on a certain scenario that involved my (ex)wife.
During the time we were together, she mentioned being married in Hong Kong to an American national. Prior to the marraige, she mentioned “having separated” from this American. Taking her word, i never bothered to check further and just relied on her statement. They had a child whom the American supported on many years, until our marriage. I found a stamped certified true copy of the child, which indicated they were married in Hong Kong. During one of our confrontation prior to the separation, i asked her if they were indeed married as indicated on the birth certificate, she replied “it was already taken cared of”. I also found land documents from her before having her name using the american’s surname. I applied a CENOMAR check, but it turned out negative. I spoke to an attorney, and he mentioned, that not all entries are being placed in the CENOMAR. Only the “end status” are indicated, meaning it shall not include a marriage nor a separation history. This added further to my confusion. I am trying to check with the HK Marriage office i can avail of a marraige license copy if there is one.
The situation had become complexed. I am now with a new partner and we plan to get married. Will the situation be a valid ground for the disqualification and annulment of our marriage?
Your kind advice is much gratified.
May i use a pseudonym for this inquiry?
Thanks so much.

Hi. I have a very complicated situation. I am in a relationship for 12 years now we have a kid. We were never married because he have a previous marriage. He went to UAE to work. He went home for a vacation just recently and w/o my knowledge, he married someone else that he got pregnant when he was away. He told me that he got his 1st marriage annuled while he was away. He filed for an annulment October last year and married the girl January this year. I thought that that was a very fast annulment. When I get a copy of his CENOMAR, both marriages where registered w/o a copy of annulment. Is the 2nd marriage legal?

Hi Atty,
I just want to consult about my case, I got married when I was 20 yrs. old and he is a Japanese. The reason for that is, my aunt suggested that if I will go to Japan it is better to marry a Japanese so I could get a higher pay when I get there. Unfortunately, my papers from the agency I was working and the paper after the civil wedding met in Japanese embassy, and that caused be being banned from their country. That Japanese was my Aunt’s Ex-husband, well they got married here, and they send the papers to Japan and filed there. They got divorced in Japan, but they did not file an annulment here. we are not really in a relationship, we just got married because of the said reason, getting a higher pay. After the civil wedding, he went back to japan, We never lived together, we never been together. We got married on Jube 10,2006. and I am planning to file an annualment, since we are not really lovers and I want to be married to the man am living with right now. We get can’t do it because of this issue. We want to have a church wedding, but since I still have existing marriage we can’t do that. Is there any ground/s for annulment, and/ or be voided?

I would like to ask if marriage between a muslim woman and catholic man is considered valid in the philippines. Under Sharia court, marriage is not valid for a muslim woman to marry a non muslim man. How true is this? I got married to a non muslim in a munipical office. Is the marriage considered valid? I am confused in this matter. Hope someone out there can give me an answer. Thanks a lot.

Hello Sir,
My Girlfriend and I were living together for 3 years in the same house and had 2 children but not legally married until February 14. 2009 we got married.
On Feb.28, 2009 I went to Saudi Arabia to work then my wife committed adultery and as a result gave birth to a child last 2011 of November.
As I came home January of 2012 we talk and agreed to live separately for she is having a new live-in partner not the one who impregnated her.
My question is:
1. Can I still file an Adultery case to her for i saw on facebook account all her malicious acts together with her new live-in partner?
2. Can I File an Annulment case with this situation?

Im married in the year of april 16, 2004 but my hushband going back to california at april 29, 2004 and starting from june 2004 i heard that he had already another family there and he didnt give me a financial support to my kid . Im already separated for 11 yrs. What im going to do can i file a legal separation.
Dear Atty.
Valid po ba ang separation ng both party kung napagkasunduan nila at ng pamilya na maghiwalay sila. sa kultura po kase namin ganon po ang ginagawa, pinaguusapan at kapag nakapagkasunduan na hilaway na sila at kanyakanya na sila ng buhay. my papel daw po sila sa munisipyo kase dun daw sila nag apply ng marriage, pwede n po bang magkasal sila sa iba kahit verbal with the consent of parents and the oldest man in the family na naging tulay sa pagaasawa nila before.pwede po ba ang ganon?

Hello Atty. Fred,
I was married last 2009, we have granted one sibling and he is now turning 7 this coming month of June. Year 2010 when we both got separated and never been in the same house since then. We both agreed that it is better to keep it that way for good. She found her new lover and so I. Currently, i have new girlfriend, and she got pregnant before and now we already have one sibling also. My concern is, we are planning to settle down soon, but what worries me is i am already married to my first wife. Though my wife is aware all about this things happened, for my having a new girl, and having another kid, with her consent as well, this worries me so much. My question is, if ever we are going to get married with my second girl is it possible to be granted by church or by judge? I am aware that my 2nd marriage will might be voided, but i still want to marry her despite of that. Both of us, my first wife and i agreed to file annulment soon after 2 years when she returned from abroad after her contract. But i was thinking 2 years was too long to wait and also ad up the length of process for annulment proceedings.
Looking forward for your response regarding.
Thank you so much,
Good Day.

Hi Atty,
Good day. I was married 1999 and we were not in good terms since then, a lot of differences. I walked away 2004 because I fell in love with another man. Now my first husband remarried last 2010 and we have not even filed annulment or whatsoever, however, it doesn’t matter.
My question is, he stopped giving child support to our only child last 2006 and started to give my child directly two years ago, but it’s only 2000 PhP a month for school allowance. He’s monthly gross income according to our daughter which her father brags is 60000 PhP.
I raised my daughter on my own since the time he stopped giving child support last 2006 up to now that my child is now an incoming Grade 11 and I would like to file for child support since he never bothered to give for a long time. How will I go about it? Thank you.
Atty. Fred,
I am separated for more than 16 years now and my so called husband had a new family…actually he take home a woman twice and he had children to both women.2002 we had an agreement in PAO in our place… i just want to ask if i can marry again? Our separation is not leggally with court hearing only infront of the PAO and we signed and agreed with what is written there….
Thank you very much hoping you can answer my question.

Good Day Attorney! I am looking for a good lawyer that can help me my marriage problem that will also charge me less. It all started on my 2nd year as OFW year 2001while my husband was left in the Phils. I ignored the fact from my family that my hubby was having an affair with another woman. During my 2nd vacation I confronted him that end up to me almost in grave, if I wasn’t rescued by my brother in my own house with him during the confrontation. after that I never came back home. Instead I live separately by my all means. October 2003 I found someone whom I loved until now and having an 11yr old boy. He only comes home on his vacation for he is also an OFW. By the way, I’m no longer working since Oct. 2003 when we decided to live together. My 2nd man is also married with 2 children but now both of legal age. I have no child with my husband before since our civil marriage for 12 yrs. before I left to work abroad. We wanted to remarry but how? were both civilly married. we both have the same story. annulment is very expensive and he is only an ordinary OFW with less salary, our provider. My live-in partner also decided to separate not legally his wife after knowing the fact too from family her unfaithfulness, she now has also another family and child. Please reply me on how you can help us regarding this case. Thank you very much. I’ll expect your legal advice.

Hi!

I asked him if he really submitted our papers and in the end said he ddnt. aftr that our communication ended. I got a call from him one day sometime in aug or sept of 2009 that he’ll be coming back to the phils. wasnt excited coz i got a bf that time na. The day came and he arrived,he explained to me why he wasnt able to contact me coz he was in jail and that he wants us to live in the phils thats why he ddnt submit our papers in his country(he’s a yakuza thats y he went to jail for certain mafia jobs).I dont wanna get back wt him coz at our first year of marriage my friends in japan told me about him scenes of infidelity and I myself found out they were all true. Its been seven years since I last saw him, my bf and i wanted to get married but i cant coz of my situation. I called the jap embassy here and they said that my case is easy if i’ll be filing an annulment coz min of 3yrs of no communication thats abandonment and can be legal grounds for annulment. iv been to an atty and he said it’ll cost me 150k+ and i dont have that much money. If anyone here can find a more affordable lawyer pls help me…pls pls pls! thank you very much.. pls reply me at gabutanmariejoy@ymail.com

Hi Sir,
My boyfriend was married through a civil wedding for 9 years to his former wife and they had a 6 year old daughter. They got separated for 7 months since the girl had another man. And a rumor that the girl and her guy are living together. We’re planning to settle down someday, is it possible for us to get married considering his status? or he should go on annulment process? Thanks in advance.

Hindi niya tinuloy pagpagile ng kaso sa ex niya during that yime due to his in Laws na nakiusap sa kanya. Now we’ve been talking about getting married but I wanna know what’s best. To file an annullment even if they are no longer talking/ they don’t have any communications na or we can wait for what they are saying the 7 yrs that we are not sure of. Magastos kase magpaannull. Hope you can give me an advice po. Thanks

We married n church and civil wedding legally for 24 yrs. Now and found out 2014 he got another family and kids used his family name, they living in their new home and authorized to handled my business land, many assets he sales with out my consent, we don’t have contact only my kids meeting him and I allowed because he is still father of them. Only I concern is happen on us the legal family , what is our right, I believe the Philippines law is more intelligent than other country.
Good day, Atty. Fred,
I gave birth with my son on July 7,2007 with my long time boyfriend. We lived under the same roof for more than 10 years before getting married on April 8,2014. We were married in RTC without marriage certificate. We got separated in fact after nine months of marriage(January 22,2015). I knew of his infidelities and he and the woman confirmed it. Since then I lived my life as a free woman. He didn’t provide for our needs and I had worked to send my child to school and provide his daily needs.
In December 2015, I had a boyfriend. He was married, but separated after finding out that his wife was unfaithful to their vows. They separated August 2015.
1.) Now I am 5 months pregnant with my boyfriend. Can my child use my boyfriend’s name even if I am legally married to my husband?
My husband is now taking time to visit our son. We have agreed to focus on our child’s needs and not to interfere with our current relationships.
On the other hand, my boyfriend’s wife is also reaching out for the annulment process, yet we couldn’t do as of the moment as to lack of budget. She, my boyfriend’s wife, also has a new boyfriend. We are getting in touch for the separation agreement.
2.) Can I ask PAO for help in my case? Considering I am pregnant with my boyfriend, even if it was my husband who abandoned us in the first place.
3.) Can my boyfriend also ask PAO for help? They were married in Catholic church. What process shall they do first? Does the church recognize the court’s decision and vice versa?
I would really appreciate your reply Atty. Thank you and God bless.

They got married in another country and both are filipino. Will the first husband can file to void their marraige or need parin mag file ng annulment.
Salamat po

Hi,
I got married last May 2011 with my Egyptian husband, and i was pregnant at the time. The marriage took place at the Manila Golden Mosque in Quiapo Manila. It was a secret marriage that time as none of my family knows about it. After the marriage, my Egyptian husband went back to Dubai because we are both working there but i have left my job prior to flying back to Manila to get married. So, after the marriage, my Egyptian husband told me that he will arrange my husband visa so i can go back to Dubai. But it didn’t happen. And slowly he stopped communicating with me and he don’t answer any of my calls and messages that put my heart in so much pain considering i was pregnant that time. I just started to move on and to accept he is already gone because my pregnancy is already getting affected. Then, it was November 13, 2011 when i deliver my baby and i have thought of sending him a message to inform that i deliver his child. After that, little by little he start to talk to me again. and in the end, he sponsored me and my son to go back to Dubai. It was February 2012 when me and my son flew to Dubai. we stay together as family not until August 2012. Because he resigned from his job so my and my son visa got cancelled. He said he will find a job but he hasn’t got any so he flew to his home country Egypt and leave me and my son alone in Dubai. The last word he said to us is that, he is going to find a job in Egypt and then he will take me and my son, but the opposite happened. since he left me and my son, he never communicated at all anymore, even no greetings on the 1st birthday of our son. He doesn’t even send even single fils for his son. Since he abandoned us, i was alone raising my son.
So, after all that, i have met an American guy recently, year 2017. We want to get married, but i still have an existing marriage record in the NSO.
Can you advise what is the fastest way for me to remarry? and is that possible ?
My marriage was done by just someone from the mosque, they called IMAM, it was a Muslim way wedding. Not civil, not church, it was just a muslim way wedding that didn’t even last 30 minutes.
Please help what i have to do in this case so i can remarry again.
I m staying separate from my husband for the past 8 years as he is not willing to give me divorce and is just keeping things lying.Now I want to get married again .can I marry ?will my earlier marriage be null and void

Hi Atty. Fred,
Good Afternoon!
I want to seek legal advise from you, I have been married and separated from my husband for almost 11 years. From then I don’t know where he is right this moment if he’s still alive, living with another woman or what. My question is can I be married again without an annulment? I have a bf now and were planning to get married.
Hope to hear your advise as soon as you read my message.
Thank you so much!

unfortunately, even given these facts, you still cannot remarry as long as your first marriage is valid and subsisting. hence, I advice you to seek the services of a lawyer who can help you out with the annulment process..
MY HUSBAND WORKS IN AUSTRALIA AND HE IS NOW A CITIZEN HE STOPPED SUPPORTING OUR CHILD LAST JANUARY 2017 AND I HEARD HE IS NOW MARRIED TO ANOTHER WOMAN IN MANILA. DO MY HUSBAND CAN MARRY SINCE WE ARE MARRIED? SECOND, HOW TO ASK SUPPORT FROM HIM SINCE HE IS NOW AN AUSTRALIAN CITIZEN?
I FEEL DISMAYED IN OUR FAMILY CODE… IT DOESN’T GIVES US AN ASSURANCE IF HUSBAND GO TO OTHER COUNTRY HE MIGHT NOT GO BACK BECAUSE THERE IS NO SUCH LAW THAT FORCE THEM TO SUPPORT THEIR FAMILY IN THE PHILIPPINES.

My girlfriend is living apart from her husband for a few months. He cheated on her and uses her for personal favors, and then goes back to the other woman. They have three children together, she has the baby, and he has the other two, aged 7 and 10. Neither she, nor I can afford annulment of her marriage at this stage. I have already proposed and she said yes. What can we do in order to make our marriage in the Philippines legal?
We also want all three of the children with us, not with the father.
Good Day Sir

Hi sir,
I just want to ask if a married woman can still share the property of her husband even if they were physically not being together for over 20 years, no kids at all. After they get married the man went to abroad and never return. Lately my Aunt was able to contact the family of her husband and said that the guy has his own family now. My aunt has kids but not married again.
Thank you and i hope you can advise me.

What if the spouse is alive and absent for 13 years. The absent spouse is happy with her new family with a kid in another man and the kid is now 9 years old.
It is true that once you’ve already filed a legal separation you’re no longer allowed to file annulment?
If a person married 30 years ago and has not had contact at all if he dies and leaves every thing to some one else can she just rock up and take it if she’s not in the will I live in Victoria

Hi attorney,
I have a question i been separated for 9 years,my husband is a shizoprenic can i get married without having annulment because he is mentally insane??thank you
My Philippine “wife” has a document showing she is legally separated from her Philippine husband. She “married” me in the U.S. Is this “marriage” valid. I am suing her on the basis of fraud and bigamy, because I have recent photos showing her embracing her Philippine husband. I also have testimony from her sister that they are still married and her husband has written that he is married. I am now assuming the document she possesses has been forged. About one month before we “married” she was married to another American man. So, she probably committed bigamy in both instances unless legal separation is valid. I would be most grateful if you would share your thoughts.
Hi Sir.. Ask ko lang po sana if pwede na po bang makapag pakasal ulit ang (lalaki) kung 15 years na po silang hiwalay ng asawa niya. And yung asawa niya po dati ikinasal na rin po ulit s iba. That 15 years po ay wala na silang naging communication after na maghiwalay. Hope you response my question. HAve a good day po sir. Godbless..

Dear Atty.
Good day!
Gusto ko lang pong mag tanong kung pwede po ba kaming mag pakasal ng kinakasama ko ngayun kahit kasal pa sya sa iba? Pero 7 years na po silang mag kahiwalay with out any communications.
I hope your advice po ..salamat
Please, I need your comment please. Nagpakasal kami ng aking husband ayon sa advice ng kanyang mga in-laws kasi po almost 8 years na siyang nawawala. After 13 years nang kami ay magpakasal, biglang nag appear ang una niyang asawa na may asawa na rin. Recently, namatay po yong una niyang wife sa cancer. Gusto po naming magpakasal ulit para maging valid ang aming kasal kasi daw po void ab initio ang una naming kasal.
Do we still need to file for nullity of our first marriage bago magpakasal ulit ganong patay na naman ang kanyang unang asawa. Considering that it was not valid from the very beginning, magpapafile pa po ba kami sa korte?
pwede ko maitanong pwede ho ba lang kami kami nalnang nang asawa ko og gumawa ng kasolatan na maghihiwalay na kami at pwede na kami mag pakasal olit kasi kami ngayon ng asawa ko ay hiwalay at pareho maming maikasal pwede bang magsulat kami ng kasondoon at pipirmahan nalng namin
pwede na po ba magpakasal ang hiwalay na ng 10 years without filing an anulment?

tanung ko lang po yung live in partner ko po hiwalay na sa asawa nya for 14years na po gusto po sana namin magpakasal pero kasal na po sya dati . hindi pa po kami nagconsult ng kahit sinong lawyer may possibilty po ba na ma void ang kasal nila kasi yung babae naman po ang unang nakahanap ng iba at nagkaanak sa iba. sabi sakin ng live in partner ko 2 years lang daw po sila nagsama after they got married tapos naghiwalay na sila. magkanu po kaya aabutin ng process na to at gano po kaya katagal
