changing parents information sa birth certificate.

just a little background on my case.


1. my wife was married sa first partner nya.
2. kahit hindi pa annulled yung partner ko sa una nyang husband.
  dati we tried to get married via pastor.
  na nagpa-loko kami sa isang pastor na mairirihistro nya raw kami sa NSO.

so my questions are.

1.Gusto namin ipabago yung parents information on birthcertifcate ng bunso namin.
nakalagay kasi dun ay married and yung partner ko ay gamit yung last name ko.what are the process

2. ano legal implications nito sa amin? maddemanda rin ba kami? ( pero yung first husband ay hindi na maghahabol legally since , he wants an anullment also )

Hi,


Since you got married to a woman who is already married, your marriage is null and void. Under the law, when a child is born during the subsistence of marriage, the child is presumed a legitimate child of the spouses. If you want to have the birth certificate corrected, most likely, the father's name will be amended to the name of the husband.

It is only the husband of your partner who can file a case for bigamy. Considering that the husband is not interested in doing do because he also wants to have their marriage annulled, then no one will file a complaint against you and your partner.

Regards,

Atty. Katrina
