Annulment 101

Recommended Posts

mga sir meron nadidiscuss si Attorney Mel sa 92.3 na pwede daw magfile ng annulment na presumptive dead yung partner mo after 5 or more years of separation. Is this process easier and cheaper than that of the standard annulment process?

 

In this case filing for annulment is unnecessary. All the surviving spouse needs to do is have the missing spouse be judicially declared dead and the marriage is terminated.

Sa presumption of death, kailangan mong maghain c hukuman ng petisyon para ipadeklara ang iyong nawawalang asawa na siya ay "ipinapalagay na patay".

 

Kailangan mong patunayan c hukuman na may malakas kang paniniwala na patay na ang nawawala mong asawa. Sa madaling salita, kung naghiwalay lang kayo ng asawa mo at hindi ito nawawala, walang kang basehan para maghain c korte ng ganitong petisyon.

1. Yes, they can. Divorce is allowed in Canada. Even if they were married in the philippines, they can get get divorced wherever it's allowed.

As far as the philippines is concerned, I'm not sure sinfce it wasn't registered. If it was, they are still considered married "only in the philippines." :D Anywhere else, they are divorced.

Divorce in Canada will have no binding effect between A and B.

 

Under the Civil Code Art. 15. Laws relating to family rights and duties, or to the status, condition and legal capacity of persons are binding upon citizens of the Philippines, even though living abroad.

Marriage being related to family rights, or the status, condition and legal capacity of persons are binding upon citizens of the Philippines even though living in Canada. The Philippines do not allow divorce hence divorce can not be obtained by any Filipino citizen wherever he may be.

The non registration of their marriage in the Philippines does not bear any weight. They are still considered married here in the Philippines.

So if A and B ( still filipinos ) gets the divorce in Canada and A went home to the Phil to get married to C. The Phil Govt ,having no record of the previous marriage of A and B in Canada, will consider A as a umarried/single individual therefore will give the marriage licence for A and C.

If the spouse gets married in the Philippines and the spouse he or she divorced has an issue with the divorce, the latter could show proof that they got married in Canada, which Philippine laws would recognize, and the former could be charged with bigamy. If the former really wants to marry again, it would be safer to do so in another country so that the Philippines wouldn't have jurisdiction over the second marriage even if bigamous under our law.

If one of the spouses get married in the Philippines and the other spouse has an issue with the divorce, the latter might show that they got married in Canada which marriage would be recognized by the Philippines and the former spouse will be liable for bigamy. Better to get married outside the Philippines so Philippine courts wouldn't have jurisdiction over the second marriage.

How would the philippines know if their marriage isn't registered? Tip for those affected here - don't post in youtube, facebook, other famous social media. :)

technially, yes. Kasi pag nag-search sila ng CENOMAR for your marriage licence, wala sila makikita record of marriage so single ka and free to marry.

Ang sinasabi nung nasa itaas eh kung mahuhuli ka, kahit hindi registered eh considered married ka sa pinas. Siyempre may legal proceedings pa, etc.

Kung lalabas ka ng bansa after, ano naman magagawa ng pilipinas?

It would have the same effect as noted by previous poster, though phils will have a more difficult time finding about both foreign marriages.

Question po..

 

Anung grounds of argument ba ang puede kong gamitin regarding conjugal properties just in case, if ever kaya ko nang magfile ng annulment primary ang reason ko is to secure exclusive property ng bahay ko. Actually eversince naman na I purchased the house wala naman nanggaling sa kanya, maliban sa renovation expenses which is one time lang. the house is mortgaged and she never contributed to pay the monthly amortization. Kami ng mother ko ang nagfifinance sa bahay. I read from the articles that I can file an exclusive ownership, and balak koi reimburse sa kanya un binigay nyang pinangrenovate ng bahay nuon. Before nun nagpapadala sya napupunta lang naman sa panggastos sa anak namin. She is the one who went away literally nagabroad sya, and ngaun if ever magbabakasyon sya I doubt if she wishes to stay in our house. Isa pa I have a gf already for 2 yrs now. In the future I want to build a family again also na maititira ko sa bahay ko, hindi un maglilive in kami sa kung saan saan.

 

Lumalabas kasi na co borrower cya nun house ko, its just frustrating for me na hiniwalayan na nga ako tapos sarili kong bahay hindi ko mapatirhan in the future kung gusto ko uli magkapamilya, avoiding the scandal which may erupt dahil kasal nga ako.

The point here is that even though the Philippine justice system finds out about the offense, no Philippine court can take cognizance of the case since the criminal act occurred outside the jurisdiction of Philippine courts.

which is the best option for me (less expense of course and mas mabilis)

 

a. file legal seperation, file child custody, file annulment

 

b. file annulment (all considered including child custody)

 

wala naman kami conjugal property kaya pass na sa issue na yan ...

 

bonus question : what are the legal grounds for seperation and/or annulment na hindi madadamay ang bata (since 9yrs old pa lang naman, dont want the exposure to have an impact), and the easiest way to have it granted ?

Hmmm.... Kung legal lang ang pinaguusapan, meaning walang under the table, parang pareho lang. ang basis kasi ng filing fee sa legsep (Art 55) and annulment (Art. 45 ata) is yung value ng properties nyo. kung kinasal kayo after aug 1988, absolute community kayo, lahat ng pagaari nyo before, during ng kasal, yun yung basehan ng filing fee. depende sa gusto din, if legsep, di parin kayo pwede magpakasal sa iba, kung annulment, pwede. pero parang pareho lang ang filing fee. mamahal lang kung... alam nyo na. hehe.

heard that annulment in a certain court in Pangasinan costs only PhP30,0000 :)

 

30k is only a sort of attorney's fee or whatever. It does not cover the cost of the entire case.

 

Someone had recommended me a female lawyer who only gives not more than P150k and all is done in a year or two. She's a resident lawyer in Makati City Hall - Legal Dept.

Just don't expect to rush this kind of things nowadays. The Office of Solicitor General, most of the time, automatically appeal this kind of cases.
