Annulment, Divorce and Legal Separation in the Philippines: Questions and Answers
There are many questions relating to annulment and divorce in the Philippines, and many of the concerns of our readers had already been addressed in previous articles. Nevertheless, to consolidate everything for everyone’s easy reference, here are the FAQs on annulment and divorce in the Philippines:
Is divorce allowed under Philippine laws?
No, divorce is not allowed in the Philippines. However, there are certain instances wherein the divorce secured abroad by the foreigner-spouse, and even by former Filipinos, are recognized under Philippine laws.
Would it make any difference if I marry abroad where divorce is allowed?
No. Filipinos are covered by this prohibition based on the “nationality principle”, regardless of wherever they get married (and regardless where they get a decree of divorce).
I was married in the Philippines and secured a divorce in the United States. Both of us are Filipinos and my spouse voluntarily signed the divorce papers. After the divorce, I married another guy, a former Filipino who had acquired U.S. citizenship. I am still a Filipino citizen. Is my previous marriage still valid in the Phils.?
Yes, the first marriage is still considered valid in the Philippines because divorce between Filipinos, wherever secured and even if with the consent of both spouses, is not recognized under Philippine laws. In other words, as far as the Philippines is concerned, the second marriage is null and void.
If divorce is not allowed in the Philippines, does this mean that spouses have no remedy in getting out of a problematic marriage?
While divorce is against public policy and is prohibited by law, the Family Code provides for certain grounds to annul a marriage or declare it as null and void.
Is “annulment” different from a “declaration of nullity” of marriage?
Yes. In essence, “annulment” applies to a marriage that is considered valid, but there are grounds to nullify it. A “declaration of nullity” of marriage, on the other hand, applies to marriages that are void or invalid from the very beginning. In other words, it was never valid in the first place.
Also, an action for annulment of voidable marriages may prescribe, while an action for declaration of nullity of marriage does not prescribe.
So, if a marriage is void from the very beginning (void ab initio), there’s no need to file anything in court?
For purposes of remarriage, there must be a court order declaring the marriage as null and void. Entering into a subsequent marriage without such court declaration means that: (a) the subsequent marriage is void; and (b) the parties open themselves to a possible charge of bigamy.
What if no marriage certificate could be found?
Justice Sempio-Dy, in the “Handbook of on the Family Code of the Philippines” (p. 26, 1997 reprint), says: “The marriage certificate is not an essential or formal requisite of marriage without which the marriage will be void. An oral marriage is, therefore, valid, and failure of a party to sign the marriage certificate or the omission of the solemnizing officer to send a copy of the marriage certificate to the proper local civil registrar, does not invalidate the marriage. Also the mere fact that no record of marriage can be found, does not invalidate the marriage provided all the requisites for its validity are present.” (Citations omitted)
What are the grounds for annulment?
1. Lack of parental consent in certain cases. If a party is 18 years or over, but below 21, and the marriage was solemnized without the consent of the parents/guardian. However, the marriage is validated if, upon reaching 21, the spouses freely cohabited with the other and both lived together as husband and wife.
2. Insanity. A marriage may be annulled if, at the time of marriage, either party was of unsound mind, unless such party after coming to reason, freely cohabited with the other as husband and wife.
3. Fraud. The consent of either party was obtained by fraud, unless such party afterwards, with full knowledge of the facts constituting the fraud, freely cohabited with the other as husband and wife. Fraud includes: (i) non-disclosure of a previous conviction by final judgment of the other party of a crime involving moral turpitude; (ii) concealment by the wife of the fact that at the time of the marriage, she was pregnant by a man other than her husband; (iii) concealment of sexually transmissible disease or STD, regardless of its nature, existing at the time of the marriage; or (iv) concealment of drug addiction, habitual alcoholism or homosexuality or lesbianism existing at the time of the marriage. However, no other misrepresentation or deceit as to character, health, rank, fortune or chastity shall constitute such fraud as will give grounds for action for the annulment of marriage.
4. Force, intimidation or undue influence. If the consent of either party was obtained by any of these means, except in cases wherein the force, intimidation or undue influence having disappeared or ceased, the complaining party thereafter freely cohabited with the other as husband and wife.
5. Impotence. At the time of marriage, either party was physically incapable of consummating the marriage with the other, and such incapacity continues and appears to be incurable. Impotence is different from being infertile.
6. STD. If, at the time of marriage, either party was afflicted with a sexually-transmissible disease found to be serious and appears to be incurable. If the STD is not serious or is curable, it may still constitute fraud (see No. 3 above).
What if a spouse discovers that his/her spouse is a homosexual or is violent, can he/she ask for annulment?
Homosexuality or physical violence, by themselves, are not sufficient to nullify a marriage. At the very least, however, these grounds may be used as basis for legal separation.
How is “legal separation” different from annulment?
The basic difference is this – in legal separation, the spouses are still considered married to each other, and, thus, may not remarry.
What are the grounds for legal separation?
1. Repeated physical violence or grossly abusive conduct directed against the petitioner, a common child, or a child of the petitioner.
2. Physical violence or moral pressure to compel the petitioner to change religious or political affiliation.
3. Attempt of respondent to corrupt or induce the petitioner, a common child, or a child of the petitioner, to engage in prostitution, or connivance in such corruption or inducement.
4. Final judgment sentencing the respondent to imprisonment of more than six years, even if pardoned.
5. Drug addiction or habitual alcoholism of the respondent.
6. Lesbianism or homosexuality of the respondent.
7. Contracting by the respondent of a subsequent bigamous marriage, whether in the Philippines or abroad.
8. Sexual infidelity or perversion.
9. Attempt by the respondent against the life of the petitioner.
10. Abandonment of petitioner by respondent without justifiable cause for more than one year.
The term “child” shall include a child by nature or by adoption.
What happens if after learning that your husband (or wife) is unfaithful (No. 8 above), you still co-habitate with him/her?
This may be construed as condonation, which is a defense in actions for legal separation. In addition to condonation, the following are the defenses in legal separation:
1. Consent.
2. Connivance (in the commission of the offense or act constituting the ground for legal separation).
3. Mutual guilt (both parties have given ground for legal separation).
4. Collusion (to obtain decree of legal separation).
5. Prescription (5 years from the occurence of the cause for legal separation).
If you’re separated from your spouse for 4 years, is that a sufficient ground for annulment?
No. De facto separation is not a ground for annulment. However, the absence of 2 or 4 years, depending on the circumstances, may be enough to ask the court for a declaration of presumptive death of the “absent spouse”, in which case the petitioner may again re-marry.
What are the grounds for declaration of nullity of marriage?
1. Minority (those contracted by any party below 18 years of age even with the consent of parents or guardians).
2. Lack of authority of solemnizing officer (those solemnized by any person not legally authorized to perform marriages, unless such marriages were contracted with either or both parties believing in good faith that the solemnizing officer had the legal authority to do so).
3. Absence of marriage license (except in certain cases).
4. Bigamous or polygamous marriages (except in cases where the other spouse is declared as presumptively dead).
5. Mistake in identity (those contracted through mistake of one contracting party as to the identity of the other).
6. After securing a judgement of annulment or of asolute nullity of mariage, the parties, before entering into the subsequent marriage, failed to record with the appropriate registry the: (i) partition and distribute the properties of the first marriage; and (ii) delivery of the children’s presumptive legitime.
7. Incestous marriages (between ascendants and descendants of any degree, between brothers and sisters, whether of the full or half blood).
8. Void by reason of public policy. Marriages between (i) collateral blood relatives whether legitimate or illegitimate, up to the fourth civil degree; (ii) step-parents and step-children; (iii) parents-in-law and children-in-law; (iv) adopting parent and the adopted child; (v) surviving spouse of the adopting parent and the adopted child; (vi) surviving spouse of the adopted child and the adopter; (vii) an adopted child and a legitimate child of the adopter; (viii) adopted children of the same adopter; and (ix) parties where one, with the intention to marry the other, killed that other person’s spouse, or his or her own spouse.
9. Psychological Incapacity. Psychological incapacity, which a ground for annulment of marriage, contemplates downright incapacity or inability to take cognizance of and to assume the basic marital obligations; not a mere refusal, neglect or difficulty, much less, ill will, on the part of the errant spouse. Irreconcilable differences, conflicting personalities, emotional immaturity and irresponsibility, physical abuse, habitual alcoholism, sexual infidelity or perversion, and abandonment, by themselves, also do not warrant a finding of psychological incapacity. We already discussed the guidelines and illustrations of psychological incapacity, including a case involving habitual lying, as well as the steps and procedure in filing a petition.
Please note, however, that there are still other grounds to declare a marriage as null and void.
Can I file a petition (annulment or declaration of absolute nullity of marriage) even if I am in a foreign country?
Yes, the rules recognize and allow the filing of the petition by Filipinos who are overseas.

hi i just want to ask if my marriage is valid..i got married last year here in manila…my husband is in london what happened is that i sent him the marriage contract for him to sign because he is not in the philippines at the time of marriage..after he signed the marriage contract he sent it back to me and then i signed before i gave it to the reverend/attorney in city hall…the bottom line is he is not present at the time of marriage he is in london while im in laguna..tnx
technically, you’re marriage is void ab initio meaning void from the beginning. One of the essential requisites of marriage is a marriage ceremony – without which, the marriage will be void ab initio. In marriage ceremony, the barest minimum is the physical presence of the parties and their acceptance such as “i do” or “yes”.
as a general rule, absence of the essential and formal requisite of marriage is void ab initio or inexistent from the beginning, and your marriage is fall under the formal requisite which provides that:
1. A valid merriage license;
2. both parties shall solemnize the marriage before the authorize solemnizing officer.
3. That both parties declaring that they take each other as husband and wife in the rpesence of at least two (2) witnesses.
However, since both of you were not complied in one requisite number 2, your marriage is void.
Hi there, how do I go about changing my child’s last name (from a previous marriage) to her mother’s last name? I am a Filipino but not living in the Philippines.
well hi, i just want to ask you atty. regarding my case. Kinasal po ako nung 1995 civil i was 17 then and my ex was 16. naghiwalay na po kami since 1998 pa. Now we both want to remarry. According po sa mga nabasa ko Qualified po ako sa Voidable marriage since were both below 18 years old. My question atty. is ano po ba ang dapat namin gawin kasi po yung uncle po niya na nag ayos nung civil wedding namin is dinaya po yung age naming dalawa sya po ginawang 19 years old at ako po ginawang 18years old. Ano po ang dapat naming gawin kasi po kung annulment masyadong mahal ang sinisingil 250k po kung voidable pa rin po ba yun or pwede pong ireklamo ng falsification of public documents sino po ang kakasuhan since patay na rin po yung uncle nya na gumawa nun.
I was hoping na mag reply po kayo. Thank you very much
to meg: regardless if his uncle altered your age in the marriage contract, in truth you were still married under age. More so, if you were indeed 18 at the time you were married, you should have had a parental consent granting you permission to marry. If such consent is not present you would still be entitled to a voidable marriage.

Hi, I want to file a legal separation against my husband but the problem is that, he is working abroad and when he visit the Philippines, he will just stay for 1 month.

Hi,
I married when I was 18 years old to a guy 13 years older than me. it was a secret marriage and only our parents knew about it.
we applied for a marriage license, attended the seminar, and have asked a pastor friend to officiate the marriage privately. there was no CENOMAR submitted at that time when we got married.
the date was march 2006, I then turned 19 on the following month april 2006.
since it was secret as I am still in college, my parents have made an agreement to my ex-husband that they can only concent to have us get married is even if we are married, I will not change my last name until I graduated from college.
so from then on, I never used his last name and continued to use my maiden name as always.
there has been no other document that shows my last name as his only CENOMAR and MARRIAGE CONTRACT.
on all my school documents, PRC documents, SSS, philhealth, bir, all of them are under my maiden name. on all my public records it is showing that I am single up to this day which I am now 24 years old turning 25 this april 2010.
we never lived together, never, it was not made public that we were married, we have no child, we have been separated a year after we got married and until now we do not have any communication.
I never used my married name, never not in any document.
he already have someone in his life with 2 kids.
is there anyway I can file for a petition, declaration of nullity and void of marriage? was our married null and void?
please help me.
Thanks
I am separated for 9 years and now living in with my girlfriend with whom I have a 1 year old son. My girlfriend and I wanted to get married,so everything will be in order,my son with her will be legitimized,and for her family to show.
My ex-wife and I,for 9 years separation have no cohabitation and only had met twice in those long years.The reason we separated was she became mentally ill and after about a year or so of taking care of her,maybe out of sadness for what happened in my life,I got involved with another woman,not my girlfriend.
My problem is I don’t have money to afford case in the court. I’m a jobless man.I don’t even know a lawyer,and I don’t even know where and how to start. Law offices I see along my way makes me shy away. Where Can I get pro bono lawyer?And if there’s none,what is the cheapest cost a man like me can afford?Yesterday I went to Public Attorney’s Office,and I was told that my case is hopeless,and it would take so much time.The lawyer I talked with recommended that I should go to matrimonial tribunal of the Catholic Church where there is hope for the annulment that I seek,and that I should just w son for him to use my last name.What is the right way to do?Thank you so much.
can bigamy be used as a ground for annulment? i’ve been separated from my husband for 3 years and i recently learned that he has re-married; he is now based abroad. how can i get an annulment given this situation? hope you can advise, thanks.
hi,
I filed for an annulment 2 yrs ago and last month I got my certificate of finality saying that my marriage was null and void. I was married in the church but i filed for an annulment in the civil court. my fiance and i have been planning to get married when the decision comes out. my question is, would i be allowed to get married again?i live here in ireland, in the irish law if one got married in the church, he or she must obtain an annulment from the church and not from the civil court. i just want to know what the philippine law says about my case. will i be allowed to get married again (in the philippines or in ireland) even if i obtained my annulment from the civil court and not from the church?
please enlighten me on this. thanking you..

divorce is allowed in the philippines as presidential decree 1083 signed by the former pres marcos but you must be both muslims ( husband and wife must be a muslim ) or you must to convert into a muslim so that you can apply for divorce. when both husband and wife converted into muslim then pd 1083 will apply and their marriage automatically become a shariah marriage . divorce in shariah both parites must agreed to file a divorce unlike in our civil code or family code then there is a collusion between husband and wife the court will dismiss the petition coz the case is colluded. ( collusion means… they both agreed to file an annulment and it is not allowed . in family code ) i just wondered why philippine gov’t don’t allow divorce in civil law or family law phil govt must survey how many wives suffering from their husbands wish this gov’t can give a much
better life to the abused wife ( abuse not only physically but mentally ) i have same problem with ellen_dejesus as well so atty fred pls help us
