2. impressive research Henry!

   1. Thanks. Little by little I hope to add more to the “nuts ‘n bolts” technicalities of living here. 🙂

3. Hi Henry, Read your letter with the greatest of interest.Much to consider about in the regard of marrying a Fhilipina. I myself am married to a wonderful Fhilipina lady from Quezon City. Thank you for your input for the many men who are thinking about marrying a Fhilipina in the Philippines.

   1. Thanks.. my hope is that those embarking into this do so with all the info they need so as to make an informed decision. I know a few couples who have had their romance 'snag' due to legal issues. But, where there's a will there's a way. 🙂

      Thanks for the info you provided it is great
      Greg

      1. what you do will depend partly on the status of her ‘ex’ that she is still paper-married to. if he is living with another woman and/or has kids with that other woman, the odds of him being able to enforce adultery charges are near zero since he too is guilty and can be likewise charged. the court is not willing to put BOTH parents of the kids into jail for adultery. (not that he couldn’t try to make hassles for you with threats.)

         if he is on another island, all the better. just don’t give in to any extortion for money. it would never end and it’s not necessary.

         if you plan to marry this woman, at some point you will need to go through the lengthy process of getting an anullment. could cost several thousand usd dollars and take up to 2 years if things move slowly.

4. KNOWLEDGEABLE RESEARCH.STAY HAPPY

   1. I hope to be of help to others as I delve into life here. Hopefully save someone else some bumps in the road. 🙂

5. So I must ask, if I were to marry a filipina and build a home etcetera, And then suddenly she decides she has what she wants in a home, vehicles, business..etc.. and tosses you out to shack up with a boyfriend. Can a foreigner man successfully have her charged with Adultery or will he not have the same rights by law that a filipino man has?

   1. As I read the law (not that I’m an attorney).. the answer would be ‘Yes’.. as her legal husband you could charge her with Adultery. I know of one woman who has several suitors after her but she does not engage in a relationship with any of them because her American husband (Separated 3 years now, but no divorce) would love the chance to do exactly that.. toss her in jail. Or blackmail her into selling the properties. So.. she doesn’t fool around even though they are Separated. Private Eyes are a dime a dozen here so finding out is not even a problem.

      Most Filipinas won’t toss their husband in jail though, in all reality, because even with owning title to the land.. she still needs a sizable income to maintain the monthly costs of utilities, servants, taxes (due every 3 months here), etc. With her husband in jail.. there’s no income and she knows it. This is partly why the men get away with having mistresses while the women do not, in general, get away with having affairs.

      Just some food for thought, consult an attorney before making any decisions, your mileage may vary, yadda-yadda. 🙂

      1. Thank you, I was only curious as to whether it would apply to foriegners too. I love my wife very much and trust her completely. I am sure I would never be faced with this type of issue anyways. I know she is undieingly loyal to me and so are my inlaws for that matter.

         I am here in Canada for only another 15 months till I will be ready to make the move, but I know she doesn’t go anywhere without asking me first. Not that I demand it, she is free to do as she wishes in my eyes, but it is just her way, she always asks, tells me where she is going who she will see and what family member she is taking with her, and always gives me there number to incase I can’t get through to her. It’s just her way I guess. I do not expect it, but feel very lucky that she is like that.

         1. That is awesome. I really believe as Westerners we underestimate the impact a conservative culture can have on people’s outlook regarding marriage. We mostly pay lip-service in the States. But in the Philippines.. by and large, the Filipinas do believe in such things as faithfulness, accountability and respect. All the things Western women need to demand from men yet when they hear of women who offer such values.. they criticize it as not being ‘independent’ or sophisticated enough. Then they wonder why so many men find Filipinas worth travelling the globe for. Just my own 2 pesos on that matter.

            1. Thank you Henry,

               Yes I totally agree with that. But I usually dismiss critizism I hear as it is easy to see it comes from there feeling threatened, and maybe as more and more men choose the path that we have followed, they will begin to change their attitudes?

               I have subscibed to your U-tube channel, I hope this brings in revenue from advertizing for you. I have a plan to build a 1200 square foot Mini market in a small rural barangay with about 5000 people up in the mountains outside of General Santos City, in Southern Mindanao. At pressent there is no market up there only sari sari stores, with very limited selections.
               The nearest market is a 20 minute motorcycle ride down to the the edge of Gensan. There are no jeepneys that come up this road or trikes as it is a rough road only the people who farm and work for Dole Corp live up there. It is my hope that people with their limited funds will opt to shop at our market rather than spend the 60 PHP in gas to go to town and shop.

               I believe that business success is higher when you are the first, before any compitition comes in. The 1st official is a family friend and the barangay captain have both told us they will 100 % support us even if local sari sari store owners dispute it, as over all it will be a great benefit to the community. I have researched the Philippines and spent much time there since May of 2010. I believe that it is a solid business plan, but as you are living there full time, I would like to know what you think, I noticed on one of your videos you mentioned having a store.

            2. So true…after almost 4 years “dating” and 2 years and 2 months married with the Cebuana asawa!

6. Hi! I was reading your notes but not read about how if the Filipina is a widow and marries a foreigner. She has the ‘death certificate.’ Anything else they need? Please reply…

   1. According to an attorney’s notes on the requirements to re-marry, a widow only needs the usual documents (listed in the link here) along with a death certificate on her previous husband’s death. See here for more details;

7. Thank you by the way for appreciating my mother country! 🙂

   1. It’s been a real pleasure.. loving it here!! 🙂

      1. hi henry! i got a problem too hope u can advice me like how you advice others. well,im a pilipina single living in with a guy pilipino, he’s separeted from his wife 4years ago but theres no any annulment papers, but his wife have family in her new husband and have kids already. and now we plan to get married is it allowed or not please help me.thank you

         1. As I understand it, your boyfriend will likely need a CENOMAR clearance to get a marriage license registered between you two, first. His former wife may have other family, but is likely not legally married since she is most likely still legally married (on paper) to your b/f. Your other option may be to either find a priest who will perform the church ceremony without the cenomar, or simply live together. His wife could not file adultery charges against you or your boyfriend since she herself is equally in the same situation. But your best bet would be to consult with a family law attorney and get their professional advice since they know Philippine law extensively.

   2. It's been awesome for me to be here.. loving it! 😀 (y)

8. Your stories really make me miss Philippines too much! Hopefully next Christmas there!

   1. Wishing you a speedy return to the land of swaying palms and simple, island goodness. 🙂

9. henry hi its mark here, I just have a question for you I was there in the Philippines after writing to a girl for 6 months, I stayed there with her for three months, and i thought she was wonderful after being married to an abusive women for 18 years, so i thought nothing of getting married by a tribal leader but i was not yet divorce, its after signing the tribal wedding paper though i was not yet divorced at that time i want to know if i can get in to trouble there as i was still going through divorced , because since i have signed this tribal wedding paper this fillipino girl has got very abusive to me since the signing an its like being in hell a gain but its only that one bit of paper the tribal leader has he has nothing else from me can he still submit that paper in an would i get in trouble by signing it still going through divorce in my country, i would really appreciate it henry if you could help me out as i would love to go back there an i have met another beautiful women who is placid an quite an a Christian like my self thank you very much mate from worried Mark.

   1. Mark, well.. first off let me say that I’m not an attorney on either side of the Pacific so I can only give you my thoughts. My one main one being the question; did you fill out and/or file a “Certificate of Legal Capacity to Contract Marriage”?? If all you have is basically a ceremony, and you can prove with documentation that you were not in a capacity to get married at that time.. it’s quite possible you can get an annulment on that basis. Ordinarily you’d have to fill out the ‘Certificate of Capacity’ form, along with your completed divorce papers BEFORE any ceremony occurs. Also, post your situation on the FORUM here and see what the other expats who have been here longer can say about this. https://lifebeyondthesea.com/lbtsea-forum/

      1. thanks henry your a good guy that has made me feel a bit better but the certificate of legal capacity to contract marriage, I didn’t fill this form out henry, it was just there standard wedding paper one sheet that’s it stating that I mark to marry this girl. its guys an people that make our world a better place like you henry any way mate hope to catch up when im there take care my friend mark. and thanks a gain

11. Please Henry I desperately need answers.
    I live with man who has dual citizen, Fil. & American. He is legally separated from his American wife. She won't give him a divorce (which he did try to get in the U.S. but failed) because of his medical, S.S. & pension benefits which she gets half. They were married here in the Phil. He has now filed for annulment ( it's not like shes destitute! She works & makes a lot more money than he does because he's a retired pensioner)). My question is, When he gets the annulment will it be valid & recognized in the U.S. What can he do to overturn the U.S. court order to garnish his pension?

    1. Again, I’m no attorney but I’ll share my thoughts. What state did your husband file for divorce in? In a “no-fault” state he should be able to get a divorce whether the other spouse wants to remain married or not. (such as California) Also, have him ask a lawyer about getting a “Bifurcated Judgment”. What this does is it asks the Court to grant a decision to give him his divorced Status while continuing to settle the issues of pension, property, children, etc. separately. This is why the call it ‘bifurcated’.. it splits the status decision from the property/settlement issues and grants the divorce status NOW. There is a service called Legal Shield which I’ve found very useful for all kinds of divorce, immigration legal issues. A friend of mine, a good guy, can connect you with the service. Use the link in the article or his website here; http://www.LegalShield.com/hub/KarlLehman It’s well worth it since for less than $19 a month you can get all the phone-time you need with a divorce attorney to ask questions, then discontinue the service if you wish. (Does not include representation in court, that is separate and at a discount.) I suggest he look into a Bifurcated Divorce Decree Regarding Status. You can also ask the attorney whether his PH annulment has any bearing on his US marriage.

    3. In regards to his pension portion going to his ex-wife.. only an attorney could argue a change for that. An annulment in the PH is not likely to change that. He needs a decree from a US court he can show to his pension provider to stop any future payments. For this reason I suggest contacting the affordable attorney-consult service Legal Shield since it is very affordable to get the info you need.

    4. p.s. I have a close friend who can set you up with this service. He is a good guy, trustworthy. He is on facebook, tell him Henry Velez sent you. Here is his page on FB: http://www.facebook.com/karl.lehman

    5. thank you…. The divorce was filed in Maryland because they lived there but they were married here in the Philippines. I will Fb your friend, again thank you.

    6. The divorce was filed in Maryland because that's where they lived while married but they were married here in the Phil. Thank you I will get in touch with your friend

12. Hi henry

    Just ask u some question
    My foreign bf was married in philippines with his x filipina wife.then his x wife is now in australia.they got divorce hede in australia is that ok if my bf and i will getting married in philippines? Hope to hear from u soon.
    Thanks

    1. lol that's ok i guess

    2. If I understand the situation correctly, your BF’s ex-wife divorced him in Australia.. and he is Australian. If that is the case and he is now divorced in his home country.. he is free to remarry anyone. He will only need a copy of his divorce decree when he is ready to marry, to file with his documents for certificate to marry when the time comes. So make sure he gets a copy of the divorce papers, he will need them.

    4. Thanks a lots po!

13. I have a quick question, my British boyfriend got married in Thailand 4 years ago, then he went back to London with his Thai wife and lived there but didnt re-marry in England. Now he wants to marry me, they are separated but not legally divorced. Question is, where to file divorce? In Thailand or in UK? And not all his ID’s says he is married, if ever will it be fine to just get married here?

    1. I don’t know about Thai laws at all. However I do know that if he divorces her in the UK, he is free to re-marry in the PH. When getting married in the PH, part of the requirements is that he present divorce papers from any previous marriage. Will the PH ever check EVERY country to see if he was married somewhere else? Most likely not. But if you’re worried about avoiding problems, the proper procedure would be for him to get a divorce by filing in the UK. He may be able to get it by default if she is served and does not respond. But he’d need to speak with a UK divorce attorney on that option.

       1. Thank you. Thing is, they never got married in the UK only in Thailand and his passport says single. Im quite confused.

          1. It doesn’t change anything. As a UK citizen he can divorce her in the UK for a marriage that took place in Thailand. Whether or not it’s actually ‘necessary’ versus ‘legal’ is something you, he and an attorney should decide together. Just in case the Thai wife ever wanted to contest your marriage at some later date. That’s probably an unlikely scenario, but one worth considering.

14. I am Canadian and married a American in the states recently. My question is…do I need go through all the paper works or requirements in the Philippines? do we need to get any other document besides marriage license? because we are planning to get married there again for our family.

    1. If I understand you correctly, you are already married and neither of you is a Philippine citizen, but you plan to move to the Philippines. You can check with an attorney first, but as I understand it, your existing marriage is recognized and legally binding in the Philippines. In fact, you’d need a certificate of divorce if you intended to marry a Filipina here. Bring your marriage certificate, get married again to the same woman for your own reasons, but I do not believe it is a necessity that you do so.

15. it was really nice i have read the whole story :)..

16. i just want to ask u one question please let me know why Flipini girls are not allowed to get married after they sperate with their bf or husband even they have kids who will care of them ?
    if a another country guy want to marry and accept the kids whats the problem then ?
    why goverment is like that they never let a women to get married with a another guy to take care the kid and the wife also ?

    1. Here in the PH there is no divorce. There are ‘annulments’ but the grounds to obtain one is very strict, almost impossible really.. so the only way to get one is with bribes. And those bribes don’t always produce results. And since adultery is illegal in the PH, a Flipina who marries and then the husband leaves her is STILL married in the eyes of the law. If she marries a foreigner and he divorces her in HIS own country, then she is free to remarry, but have all the divorce documentation and ammend her CENOMAR data in Manila, where marriages are recorded. That is not an easy task. So.. bottom line, here in the PH you really need to think twice, triple times before getting married. And also make sure the girl you are dating is free to marry.

17. My name is Changaiz and i have a philippine girl friend but unfortunatly she is married and she is having kid. from 3 years she separated from her husband and she my GF from two years. i try my best to keep her happy but she always thinking about the annulment {divorce} process which is may be difficult or expensive. So please can you guide me what to do for legallization of this relation

    1. I hate to have to tell you this, but the annulment process is much, much more difficult to get (legally) than a typical divorce in other countries. She has to prove she is either related to her husband (incest), he is insane, the marriage was under duress (not valid if they were living together more than a year).. and the other qualifications are not any easier either. Annulments often mean bribing “fixers” but, too often those promises end up just in money lost. Bottom-line, getting involved with a paper-married Filipina can mean waiting a long time for an annulment that may never come. If her husband is very, very old.. the marriage is considered nullified upon his death, which would be sooner than later. But no control over that. Living together is an option, but only if you expect to never have problems with the paper-husband. He could charge either or both of you with adultery charges, or extort for money under that threat. Overall.. dating a married woman in the Philippines is not a good idea.

18. My bf is a US CITIZEN,he was married to a filipina,they got married both country and got divorced only in the US since there is no divorce in PH so they are still married in the PH.I want to know if the law allow us to marry here even if he still married to the filipina girl.And if so is it valid??
    thanks

    1. Yes. If he divorced the Filipina in the USA and has his divorce decree, the law was changed several years ago which now allows him to remarry in the Philippines to a different Filipina. (Likewise, his ex-wife Filipina is free to remarry as well.) He must have his court documents and may have to ammend his file with CENOMAR in Manila first, so you may want to ask an attorney about that part. But he is free to remarry in the PH.

19. If you are married to a Filipina and then you go to USA or Aus, or England and she divorces under the Law of that country your in a real mess, she is not recognised as divorced in the Philippines but can in fact still re: marry when Abroad, even though Philippines wont accept the marriage as valid.
    But if she decided’s not to remarry and just lives with a guy..
    You are still classed as married in the Philippines, and cant remarry another filipina in the Philippines, the way round it is if your going to live in Philippines take a month holiday with your Filipina to Hong Kong or Singapore marry there and then its legal you come back and register your marriage and no problems, or bting her to your country and do same,..
    The problem with that is many Family’s like to see there Daughter married in front of them before allowing them to Fly of to another country,….

    1. Actually, no. If a foreigner and filipina are married, and a divorce is granted in the home country of the foreigner.. in his home country; that divorce decree IS recognized as valid in the Philippines. This frees up both parties to remarry, whether in or out of the Philippines.

20. Hi Henry!

    I am US citizen and I just married to a Filipina here in US. She is presently permanent resident in Canada and Phil. Citizen. We are planning to get marry in Philippines and my question is: What are the requirements for me to marry her in Philippines?

    1. That I know of.. you will need any judgments from previous divorce. Also, upon application your marriage application will ask for a CENOMAR (certificate of no marriage) for your Filipina wife.

    2. Just a friendly piece of advice.Do Not get married in Philippines.its a bloody nightmare if something goes wrong.and anyway you can only marry one time.or your a bigamist.
       And you can go to jail for that.your american certificate is a good document. Nobody can deny it
       No further proof is needed..you can of course have a reaffirmation in Philippines.but not in law.if your wanting to make the parents happy..is have it blesses by the pope.

21. I am a US Citizen and got married in the Philippines and brought my wife here but sad to say the marriage didnt work out so we got divorce..now Im planning to marry a filipina but the problem is she has the same last name as my ex wife .will there be any problem in bringing her to the US?

    1. It might be more confusing if she had the same ‘first’ name, but either way.. immigration looks at birthdate as well so, shouldn’t be an issue. Have you considered moving to the PH with your next marriage? There are several dynamics in play that work against a happy marriage when bringing a Filipina to the US. Just something to consider.

22. I was divorced in the us and wants to get married in a catholic church in the philippines. What do i need to do?can i used divorce decree to get married?

    1. Yes, you can remarry in the Philippines if you possess a judgment from the U.S. showing you are no longer married. It would be best to have an original of the judgment (not just a copy), which you can obtain often on the net or via mail from the county of the courthouse that the divorce took place in. Also obtain a CENOMAR certificate in the Philippines. You can Google ‘CENOMAR’ for more information on that.

       1. hi..im frm philippine im looking for seruise relationship. i hopr i chat you soon.thanks

          1. On Facebook there are groups for Filipinas wanting to chat with Foreigners. Search at Facebook for: Foreigners or Expats or Filipinas and you should find them. (I myself am currently seeing someone.)

       2. Do i need to get annulled first to get married in catholic church even if its only civil and was already divorced?

          1. From what I understand, it seems to be a sliding scale. In other words, what one priest won’t do, another will.. depending on which church you go to. You will need a judgment of divorce from the foreigner’s country, that much is for sure. Possibly a CENOMAR. But while the Philippine government acknowledges it legally, the Catholic Church does not have to.. it’s up to them. You can still get remarried in a civil court.

23. nope they don't allowed they have to apply for divorced here in Philippines because your boyfriend still married in the Philippines

    1. If the other spouse is a Foreigner, and they get a divorce in the Foreigner’s home-country.. that divorce decree is now legally acknowledged in the Philippines for the Filipino citizen/spouse. Only a clearance needs to be filed with CENOMAR, there is no divorce process in the Philippines. For a reference on the change in Philippine Family Law, read here; http://www.lepitenbojos.com/old/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=218:recognizing-a-foreign-divorce-in-the-philippines&catid=54:legal-notes-on-annulmentnullity-of-marriage&Itemid=88

24. how can he divorce her when there is no divorce here
    in philippines?

    1. If ‘he’ is a Foreigner married to a Filipina.. he can divorce her in his home country and the revised Philippine family law will honor it in the Philippines for the Filipina so that she is free to re-marry.

25. I could say very stressful to apply marriage license or to get married here in the Philippines. My Canadian fiance was previously married with a Filipina here in Phils and was divorced in Canada. We thought that his divorce papers will be recognized by the Philippines because he is a foreigner and his case is not under Philippine Law but unfortunately, it wasnt. The Certificate of Marriage (CENOMAR) still stated that he’s married here. The Local Registrar in my province in Visayas and here in Manila would not accept our application because my fiance’s previous marriage here. We have to seek advice from a lawyer and file a Recognition of Foreign Divorce Decree to the regional trial court anywhere in the Phils. If its done, it will then be submitted to the Local Registry and National Statistics Office (NSO) to dissolve the previous marriage and to remarry different Filipina. I still dont know the cost and duration to file that judicial petition for Recognition of Foreign Divorce Decree. We really thought that it was only applicable for ex-Filipino spouse not foreign national. We are dismayed with legal process here. 🙂 Is there any way we could get married in other country without filing Recognition of Foreign Divorce Decree? What if we will get married in Hongkong or other nearby Asian country, can NSO still recognize our marriage? Pls help.

    1. You can try asking the group of Expat foreigners here at the Forum. Many of them have either had the same experiences or know the system better than I do. You can post your situation in this section here; https://lifebeyondthesea.com/lbtsea-forum/ph-daily-life-info-group2/philippine-laws-legal-stuff-forum24/

       1. If….one was to take the girl to his country where he is divorced on a tourist visa and marry her there.that should be sufficient for a spouse visa.and Philippine law would be bypassed.
          Maybe???

26. Dear Henry
    I’ve read a similar case with me but I wanna ask you one more.
    My exwife was a filipino and I divorced her here in Korea. After marrying her, she didn’t come to Korea coz that time she had another bfriend who she was living with. And ofcourse I didn’t know it when we got married.
    After all, I had hard and long time divorcing her in Korea. It took almost 2yrs.
    And now I have another filipino fiance in Philippines. I heard i could get married without any legal proceedings in Philippines if I got a divorce decree from my country.
    I’m preparing to get married her and she is now pregnant.
    BUT, the problem is that Korean embassy refuses for my remarriage. they said that in Philippines there is no law of divorce so I have to have legal proceedings, get a NSO document which shows my marriage status is dissolved and cenomar. They insist on those are under philippines law. and i ask them to show me the law but they didn’t answer anything but memorandum circular no.2007-008 which only explains how I can divorce exwife. it never says i have to go through the legal proceedings.
    they said no foreigner can remarry without those documents. is it true? do I have to get those documents before marriage? for reference, there are no rules in korea which i can not remarriage in this situation.
    korean embassy insists that it’s becouse of philippines law.

    1. If your first marriage was recorded in the PH, you would need to use your Korean divorce decree to clear your CENOMAR record, that you are now status of a Divorced Man in the PH, due to your Korean judgment. However, I am unfamiliar with Korean laws or requirements. I’d say it would be wisest to consult a Korean Immigration attorney to get the best solution on your situation.

27. Henry, the information you provided here is not completely accurate, although a foreigner can divorce a Filipino in his home country, then authenticate the divorce decree at the Philippines embassy in his country, and the divorce decree CAN be recognized in the Philippines, it is not automatically recognized until a court case is filed for judicial recognition with a regional trial court in the Philippines and the foreign divorce decree is “judicially recognized” by a Philippines regional court, then there are still other steps to take to register the divorce before either party can remarry in the Philippines, see this link:
    http://tokyo.philembassy.net/consular-section/services/civil-registration/judicial-recognition-of-foreign-divorce/

    Although recently a bill has been proposed to eliminate the need for judicial recognition and allow for a foreign divorce decree duly authenticated by the Philippines consular or embassy in the respective country to stand on its own and be registered with the civil registry without judicial recognition by a Philippines court, as I understand it, this bill has not yet been passed into law to date.

    What I am interested in, however, is information on child custody. For example, if a foreigner gets a divorce in his home country, and the divorce is recognized in the Philippines, how is the custody of any minor children determined? Can the foreigner come back to live in the Philippines, remarry to a new Filipina, and also live with and have custody of his children from his previous marriage with Filipina ex-wife?

    Do you have any info on child custody in that scenario?

    1. Thanks for filling in the blanks on the follow-up part, after getting the divorce decree. I haven’t any info on custody arrangements. All legal issues aside, my guess is that it will involve all the usual drama in that situation.. plus some. Maybe even to the point that any legal rights to visitation only get ignored. In the PH, the wheels of the court grind especially slow and people often use that to their advantage, unfortunately.

28. Hi Henry

    This s a very helpful article. Thanks for posting it.

    If you update the article, this piece on the passage of House Bill 5734 may be useful:

30. Hi need help

    1. What is your situation? If you post it in the Forum section, myself or any other reader can respond to you with some assistance. Here is the link; https://lifebeyondthesea.com/lbtsea-forum/

31. Hi to all,
    I have british husband we got married here in Philippines. How will i know that our marriage will also legalise in Uk? Or do we have to go to Uk to get married again or we just have to post the marriage certificate to the embassy? Our plan is to live here in philippnes not in Uk or maybe in the future but for now we will live here in Philippines. Is there anyone could help me ? Thank and much appreciated

32. Hi Henry pls i need your help..any information regarding about our marriage? already married here in philippines do we still have to get married again in UK or just submit our documents to legalise our marriage in Uk. For now we will stay here first for a couple of years then decide after if we still live in uk..
    pls i need your opinion. Thank u and much appreciated

    1. Given the past history with your husband, I would suggest you both sit with a qualified Family Law attorney as to both your status and validity of marriage in the UK. If neither of you had been previously married, it would be very straight-forward. But, given your circumstances, you should really consider it worthwhile to get a sound legal opinion from a professional attorney who could give you the correct citations and laws for your situation.

42. hi i have a concern about my bf…we will getting married..but the problem he is already married in the philippines before but not in church …they married in the registrar government office……but now they are already divorce in canada even they are not married in canada ….they married only in philippines …..and they are both in canada….is it possible we can get married…….again in philippines…

43. Nope, not legally. Not without you completing the annulment.

44. Your BF is still married in the Philippines until he has the divorce recognized in the Philippines, then recorded with NSO.

45. Yes, if done correctly. Being he was married in the Philippines originally he will have to get his divorce in Canada recognized then recorded at NSO. A process of it's own. Once that is complete there is no issue with him getting married to you in the Philippines.

46. hi,.i am a pilipina and i have a foriegner boyfriend..do u think we will have problem if he wants to stay forever in phillipines..or he needs some papers..until were not yet married…

47. Mr henry I hv been reading a lot of letters here written to u and u have advised people very nicely..I have a question here ..I am an Indian guy in love with a filipina ..Unfortunately..the situation of that woman is somewhat like this…she fell in love with a filipino man who was already married to a filipina woman..but didnt tell her ..and he married my gf in the civil court marriage …which is illegal and not a valid marriage ..As I want to marry my gf in India she will be needing her cenamor in India..as status single ..to be submitted to the embassy of phil in India…..The question is what certificate NSO is going to give her ?

    Sorry guys I’m real confused. Any suggestion and ask for help please.
    Thanks

59. i want to use this medium to testify of how i got back my ex boyfriend. After 4 years in relationship with my husband with 3 kids, he suddenly started going out with other ladies and coming home late, most atimes drunk and each time i confront him about this it turns out to be fight, he even threatened to divorce me severally, I was emotionally devastated because i wasnt sure of what to do to make him love me again, I tried all i could to make him love me again but all proved abortive until i saw a post on the internet on how a spell caster Dr. Zaki helps people restore back their broken relationship/marriage at first i doubted this but decided to give it a try, when i contacted this spell caster via email he helped me cast a re-union spell and within 5hours my husband came to me apologizing and today we are happily together again. Contact this great spell caster on your marriage and relationship problems at [email protected] Goodluck

60. Good one henry very imformative.. How about the property.. Like a woman..she as a the property before they married..do they become conjugal property..hoping you have this kind also.thanks

61. Playing house in the Philippines is a complete disaster for any guy with money or does not like the loving he will have in jail.
    I feel sorry for the girls than made a big mistake with so called love and marriage as away to feel complete and it failed like over 40% do.
    Any guy that want to marry is due for a mental assessment if he gets married in the Philippines. With laws on the books that make sure the guy pays forever to support her.
    I can understand now why the girls are on the hunt for a western type guy to befriend. I call it a zero sum game with the odds stacked against the guy
    In the valley of death go you—my brave soul.

62. Married is married, church or no church. Being your BF was married in the Phils before he needs to have the divorce recognized in the Phils to get married again in the Phils.

63. Beware Of Spell casting scammers not all are real some might be fake BE WISE!!!I never knew people still have powers and make things happened this way.my husband Westley left me for another woman for three months’ ever since then my life have been filled with pains sorrow and heart break because he was my first love for over 21 years now. two years ago, A friend of mine Susan told me he saw some testimoniesof this great Dr Goodluck that he can bring back lover within some few days, i laugh it out and said i am not interested but because of the love my friend had for me, she consulted the great priest on my behalf and to my greatest surprise after three days my husband called me for the very first time after three months that he is missing me and that he is so sorry for every thing he made me went through and as i speak right now we are happily back for good. i still can’t believe it, because it highly unbelievable it just too real to be real. Thank you Dr Goodluck for bringing back my husband and also to my lovely friend who interceded on my behalf, for any one who might need the help of this great priest here is the email address [email protected] <[email protected]> or you can call the great man on +2347058807502. good luck

64. Henry,
    Thank you for the insight. I’m thinking of moving over to the P.I. in a few years and taking an initial trip next summer to get a feel for the islands and do some Tri races. I’ll start in Cebu where my former students have family and explore from there. Any recommendations? It sounded like you’re in the area.
    Best

65. If they bought the property during they were in relationship itb is conjugal
    but if it is bought before they marry it is not conjugal property. In the philippine law it is only applicable for legal separation not in aanulment.

66. no not valid

67. good day, i have concern with my bf a fil am citizen. he was married here in Phil but they decided to separate. can he make me as his fiancée even his not yet annul?

68. I contacted okoro spell temple at his website
    (http://ultelpowerfultemplepriest.webs.com) in regard of my wife
    that left me for another man and he was eager to help me right away with my requests. He was very reliable always called and emailed throughout the process. He even gave me extra protection that I will always prosper. so you can contact him for any solution and he will help Thanks to Or Okoro!" james from USA ([email protected])

69. If i marry a filipina woman in the Philippines, What do i need to bring her back to the USA with Me to live together?

    1. i might suggest you do yourself a big favour and do not get married in philippines,take her to usa on fiance visa you have ,,i believe,90 days to marry and she can stay ,,no divorce in philippines,,but easy to divorce in usa,,70% of marriages fail,,so be a good boy scout,,(be prepared) ,being smart may just save you a lot of bad agro one day,

    2. I just married a Filipina in the Philippines on Oct. 2nd 2014. We used Rapid Visa dot com. They have an office in the U.S.A. and also one near the American Embassy in Manila. They charge like $350.00 if they do ALL the paperwork. The entire process costing like $1,500.00 American dollar’s with all the USCIS fee’s included. All you need past that is her plane ticket! No financial interest in this company……….. Bob

       1. $1500? could have put you on a nice lady charges $100 for visa,marriage is 3000 peso,
          but your ok,so why worry

I could not rejoice too much cause i was expecting this but was not sure if it really work but now that i have tested it and it work i will forever be grateful to this spell caster and my friend.

We already apply for legl capacity for him to marry me here in this country . Do you anything about not allowed to marry twice with the same person in the Philippines. Please help me , to find and answer. Thanks

91. i m American…married young the first time…that lasted until 1987…I got divorced and remarried a2 years later….the second wife died in 2014…..an i actually required to try and obtain a copy of the divorce papers from my first marriage which ended almost 30 years ago???? to be eligible to marry a filipina….

    Is the requirement the same to obtain a fiance visa for my fiance to take her back to the USA and marry her there….???

92. I’m a filipina, not legally separated. Can my american boyfriend file a fiance visa so he can get me there?

    1. as i understand the usa immigration laws, you must be single/annulled prior to getting a K1 visa since another requirement is that you marry a usa citizen sponsoring you within 90 days of arrival. you would need a CENOMAR clearance as part of the K1 application.

So on one evening,as i was coming back from work,i met an old friend of mine who asked of my wife.So i explained every thing to her,so she told me that the only way i can get my wife back,is to visit a spell caster,because it has really worked for her too.So i never believed in spell,but i had no other choice,than to follow her advice. Then she gave me the email address of the spell caster whom she visited.{[email protected]}. So the next morning,i sent a mail to the address she gave to me,and the spell caster assured me that i will get my wife back the next day.What an amazing statement!! I never believed,so he spoke with me,and told me everything that i need to do. Then the next morning, So surprisingly, my wife who didn't call me for the past seven {7}months,gave me a call to inform me that she was coming back.So Amazing!! So that was how she came back that same day,with lots of love and joy,and she apologized for her mistake,and for the pain she caused me and my children.

110. The profile picture I use is my step daughter that didn't go to a real doctor but one of these witch doctors and died because of it. You should all be ashamed of your selves for being shills. Same thing with step grandson but lucky wife learned with daughter and took him to real doctor. He has allergys to seafood. Spell casters and witch doctors, yeah right. Just click on these peoples names and look at their face book pages. THEY ARE FAKE. If more then a profile picture then it is all about the spellcaster. The fact that this bullshit kills people pisses me off. Snake oil. I am dissapointed that you have this on your page Rick. CLICK ON THE NAME AND LOOK AT FB PAGE. FAKE BULLSHIT.

     1. lots of people, and bots, post spam. my spam-filter catches most of them but not all. i manually have to find them amidst hundreds of other genuine posts so, i don’t endorse these fake spell-casters. they are spam that at times find it’s way onto the comments section.

111. FAKE

117. hi im a Filipina and my husband is an Australian we had a civil wedding ceremony in Australia do we still need to re married in Philippines or our certificate of marriage in Australia is recognised by Philippine law/government so i could change my status and use my husband surname?

118. this is interesting site, maybe i can learn something more from here, i have a boyfriend from UK even though we just know each other for a week now, he is doing some effort for me to marry him as soon as posible, i never been married and he is a widow, i hope we will not get problems coz he wants me to go with him and planing to get a civil wedding.

119. the residency requirement for Nevada is 6 weeks. If you live in Nevada for 6 weeks, and do not have any kids with your philippina wife, you can get divorced from her there legally.

120. Hello Henry, I married my wonderful filipina wife 4 years ago after a 3 year courtship. While she was there and i in California things were fine . I traveled there several times and thought id met the woman of my dreams . We got married in sibulan and spent 2 years going through the process og getting her here to the states which was complicated because i needed to have a family member help sponsor her to get here . Once here the abuse began . Mental and physical .

     Shes been that way to me for her time here in the states. At this point ive got to be strong and stop the cycle of horror and bruises . I dont know what happened to her once she got here but she changed and i went from a target of her affections to just a target. Im a peacful 46 year old disabled person and my doctors want to press charges against her for the bruises and cuts and scratches from her but i beg them not to . Despite how shes acting , i loved this woman enough to go across the sea and i dont want her to have any bad experiences . My question is can i divorce here in California and her be abke to go back to the phils and maybe find someone who makes her happy without her getting in troubl with the Philippine authorities or do i also need to go there and file for the full annulment so as to give her freedom .

     Also , i know the filipino culture and people and i love them all . Not another place I n this planet has more beautiful people and i hope to find that filipina, the right 1 in a million that believes in love , family and above all God . If this mythical creature from my humble dreams does exist and if i am blessed enough to find her . Will i be able to pursue dreams of marriage and family ? With just divorce decree from California. I apologize for rambling on but humbly hope for advice .
     Godbless
     Anthony

     1. Going purely by what you conveyed here, it sounds to me like she used you to get to the usa. Now that she’s there and able to get the attention of many men, her true disdain for you is being revealed. Not because you’re a bad person, but because she no longer has need of you. She is THAT selfish and shallow. So yes, you can divorce her there in the states. Personally, I’d press charges against her.

        One thing to take into consideration is how long you have been married and which state you reside in. I’d get an attorney appointment first to see what kind of claim to your income or assets she might make in the divorce. In most states, any property purchased PRIOR to the divorce is separate, unless you added her to the deed of ownership. But yes, you can divorce her and she can return to the Philippines. Another good reason to file the abuse charges is to make it clear to immigration that you did not marry her just to get her into the country. You divorced her for good reason. This will be important for your own record if you ever want to immigrate another Filipina into the usa again in the future.

     1. It sounds like you plan to marry her within the Philippines. For yourself you will definitely need an original, notarized or official copy of any divorce you’ve had prior. She will need to apply for a CENOMAR, which is a certificate of no marriage to prove she is truly Single and able to marry.

        Unless you plan to take her out of the country, she does not need a passport. If you do plan to travel outside the Philippines, she will need a passport and depending on the country you’re going to, will also need a valid Visa to enter that country.

123. Hey Reekay I couldn’t find a contact form but I wanted to ask if you accept link swaps, or payments for links. I’d like to place this link on any of the articles about dating filipinas on your site:

     I’d be happy to donate via the Paypal link, or link to your site on mine for mutual benefit.

     1. Drop me a PM at my FB and we can go over some ideas. 🙂 https://www.facebook.com/reekay.inph

124. Can you get married in the Philipines in a marriage ceremony that is not a legal marriage?

     This is common in some parts of Asia e.g. Indonesia but I never heard about it in the Philippines.

125. Good day,

     I’m a natural-born Filipino citizen and got married in New Zealand this year to a NZ citizen. We’re planning to have our second wedding in the Philippines next year 2018.
     I’m just wondering if ever there’s a requirement needed to be done? or any legal documents to do so to make the wedding official?

     1. You will need to apply for a CENOMAR, to certify you have no other marriage in the PH. The churh or clerk’s office will require this. Since you are already married, it’s possible the church will do the wedding as a “renewal of vows” without the usual paperwork, but that is dependent on the priest you are dealing with.

     2. p.s. You can apply for the CENOMAR online. Just do a google search to get it directly from Manila. You don’t need to pay a service extra money to do it for you.

        1. Thank you so much.

           another thing, do we need to do the 20days process/ seminar before the wedding?

126. Americans married and living in the Philippines can fly to Guam, establish residency in 7 days and then get divorced. total time about 10 days. Nevada has a 6 week residency requirement for divorce.

127. Basically married to a Philippino Lady..i am from UK,but married in the Philippines..but now the marriage no good.so how do i get to file for a simple Divorce here in the UK instead of getting an annulment there in Philippines,and what are the costs/plus any other information?
     Thanks

     1. same process as divorcing any other UK woman. if she is in the PH you may need an intl ‘server’ to serve her with the legal docs. but other than that, just follow the normal dissolution of marriage procedure in the UK in order to get the divorce judgment.

128. Hi am filipina I am married of pH guy but things not work out now we are sepated but not legally for more than 3 years I am still using his surname and even on my passport indicates there that I am married.

     2 years ago I met a foreign men we love each other so we got engaged now he want to sponsor me to visit him and to meet his mother in his country but things so complicated..
     Do I need to annul my marriage first before I can get a fiancee visa?then visit them?
     Do I have any other choice of visa to visit him ?

     Need your advice
     Any advice must appreciated
     Thanks

     1. yes. you will need an annulment or else his immigration country will not approve a fiancee’ visa. usa is the most strict about this. there might be a chance to visit on a tourist visa if he is living in australia.

129. Hello Reekay
     Do you know if it is a LEGAL requirement for a Philipino to record a foreign marriage in the Philippines or just something the authorities like you to do?

130. hii..i have question about my situation. I am US citizen and married to a filipina in the philippines and i bring my wife in america after 2 years living in america we got divorced. And after 2 years i found another filipina and we been together almost 20 years up to present and have 3 kids she in now in the philippines with my kids And me here in america and i visited them once every year. so now i plan to marry her. so my question is can i marry her in the phillipines? using my divorce paper. hope u can help me about this..thank you so much ..john

     1. if you want to marry her in the PH, you’ll need to file your divorce decree (original or verified copy) with manila vital statistics. a family law attorney can do that. you can also check with the following link and ask them for free. https://lifebeyondthesea.com/filipina%e2%80%91expat%e2%80%91visa4you/

131. hi sir , im from india nd im not married ,but my gf is fillipino married nd legally seperated 2 years ago..she is living in guam from from 10 years with work visa..she wants to apply for annulment ,even though it is very difficult..can i marry her in india without divorce ? if her ex husband is not a problem for adultery cases… As we decided to live together nd apply for anulment coz it takes lot of time..can you suggest any advics how to marry her.

     1. it would be best you speak with someone in india who is learned in the immigration requirements for visitors to india. it’s possible she may need to prove she is a single woman in order to be sponsored by you to enter your country. i do not know for sure, but that is how the usa does it. or it is possible that is not a requirement, which would simplify things greatly for the both of you.
