Divorce In The Philippines


Recommended Posts

I am no lawyer nor a lawmaker .... hehe try lang

-----------------------------------------

 

Much to the Divorce bill ika nga (Just like the Death Penalty) is that most of its mistakes happens at way before ....

 

1. May time frame ang marriage contract - e.g. 3 years. 5 years

 

2. May renewal terms and ang default terms ay voidable na - kapag di kayo nagrenew - single na uli

 

3. Do an extensive and mandatory pre nuptial seminar

3.1 Outline of duties and responsibilities of husband and wife - which will be agreed before being solemnized.

 

4. Advocate a pre-nuptial agreement that will embody disollution clauses.

4.1 Other agreed clauses

-------------------------------------------

 

Sa mga ayaw sa proseso na ito, mag LIVE-IN na lang o kaya sa SIMBAHAN na lang magpakasal

 

 

NOW to those who got married without the above who wants dissolution. My dear just because a system works well it becomes an express counter. We perhaps want the wheel to be more systematic.

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Ground rules similar to annulment e.g. homosexuality, acquired diseases, adultery

 

2. PLUS the following

 

2.1 Deadlock disagreements minimum of 1 year

Ah so, bale ur main beef with our present laws on the dissolution of marriages is the time frame. Ur right, it takes a very long time to go though the entire process, ang mahal pa.

 

What u want is an Express Counter where u can expedite the whole process and get a new lease on committing the same mistake again.

 

Well and good. I see ur point and I expect u see mine, too.

 

Just for the sake of discussion: could u draft ur idea of a divorce bill? What will be its provisions? How will it be different from our subsisting laws that address the same issues?

 

Should be interesting reading.

So basically, why not just do Contract Marriages??? People can get married for X number of years, renewable upon option of both parties.

Add in clauses for care of children, pets, etc. etc.

Add in penalty clauses for agreed upon issues (no infidelity, etc. etc.)

 

Is that more or less what you had in mind???

 

I like it.

hmm... I guess it's nice to see that the "nays" for divorce outnumber the "yeas".

 

My two cents... if divorce were legalized, there's the question of paying ALIMONY, or child support for all the ex-wives and whatever kids you leave behind... that really complicates things and it's my guess that most people here (particularly the MEN) won't be too hot about paying child support.

 

Plus, consider that a SHERIFF will be COLLECTING the ALIMONY payments... unless they plan to make it billable to the guy's salary directly, via electronic transfer, lump sum or whatever...

 

So, maybe another angle for divorce... ladies, gents, would you LIKE to have divorce, knowing that there's a HUGE RISK involved in collecting alimony?

 

If I do find myself unfortunate enough to have to go through a divorce with OUR JUSTICE SYSTEM, I sure as hell ain't giving my money to no sheriff HERE! This is just a far-off detail, but think of the MONEY involved. Expect a rise in MURDER cases should divorce be made available in the Philippines.

 

Of course, this is all mere speculation.

 

oh, and besides, there's a neat little trick you can do... I've heard that you can get an annulment from your estranged spouse for a mere P70,000... and the beauty of it is, they won't even know about it unless they CHECK the court where you file it in, and by then it could be too late... but you won't be STUPID enough to tell them WHERE you filed it, now, would you? hehehe
