i would like to know how much it would cost me to file for a petition of recognition of foreign divorce and how long would it take.

i was married to a naturalized US citizen, i do have a copy of the divorce decree, my ex husband no longer supports me even before the divorce (July 2006), he now has his own family in the US, and I’m here in the Philippines. we have a son, 27 yrs old.

If i renew my passport after the recognition of divorce, would that change may marital status? Can you pls help me with this?

HI. we asked a question on this side, a month ago. the question seems to ha disappered, and no answer recieved.

Again my question.

What kind of papers do we have to bring to NSO in order to optain the right to remary, under the rules in article 26 ?
the former danish husbond, has optained his right to remarry, though the Danish court, have granded the divorce. But we where married in PH, and I believe we still are.

Hi, I got married March 2006 to an American guy and our marriage didn’t last. he filed for divorce and it was granted 2007. I filed for divorce recognition but it was costly that i had to stop in the middle of the process because I don’t have any money left to proceed. my ex is now married to a Filipina again and they are living in Portland, I think it’s pretty much unfair that he can go on with his life and I can’t and i can’t talk him to help me with the lawyer fees, because he is an ass. is there any way or any legal way to get him to pay the half? I need help, please. thank you.

I would like to ask about the case of an “uncontested divorce” filed by the foreign husband in the US. I have heard that a divorce by “mutual consent” or “agreed divorce” in countries such as Japan and Korea cannot be recognized here if the filipina spouse files a Petition for Recognition.

Is an uncontested divorce obtained by the foreign spouse in the US the same as the consensual divorce in japan?

I have this predicament that the divorce in the US, which is agreed divorce, will be tagged as the same consensual divorce and will not be recognized here.

Additional facts:
The petitioner is the foreign husband..
Grounds are:
1) no cohabitation for 5 years
2) marriage not consummated
3) no children
4) no property to divide

I hope you could advise me on this. Thank you so much
