legal separation and annulment

ANo po ba ang difference ng legal separation at annulment?
Kapag legally separated pa pwede bang ulit magpakasal?
Which is cheaper, legal separation or annulment?
Thanks

Art. 45. A marriage may be annulled for any of the following causes, existing at the time of the marriage:

(1) That the party in whose behalf it is sought to have the marriage annulled was eighteen years of age or over but below twenty-one, and the marriage was solemnized without the consent of the parents, guardian or person having substitute parental authority over the party, in that order, unless after attaining the age of twenty-one, such party freely cohabited with the other and both lived together as husband and wife;
(2) That either party was of unsound mind, unless such party after coming to reason, freely cohabited with the other as husband and wife;

(3) That 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;

diffence between annulment and legal sep.

in annulment, marriage is dissolved, in legal sep. the spouses are still married.

Paano po yun kung legally separated yung tita ko sa una nyang hubby then nagpakasal sila ng tito ko,,,legal ba yung kasal nila ng tito ko?

no, legal separation does not dissolve the marriage. their marriage is void.

ganun ba? pero may nso sila na marriage certificate,,,,at legitimate ba yung anak nila nun na pinsan koh?

ask ko lng po,,kapag yung marriage ba na-annulled consider ba na illegitimate yung mga kids nun? thanks

if no one questions the marriage, then it will be ok. if someone files a case, then it will be vulnerable to being declared void for being bigamous.

regarding annulment kapag nagfile ka ng annulment at na annul ang marriage yung mga naging anak ba nun illegitimate sila?

ano po ba ang dapat gawin kapag matagal ng hiwalay sa asawa may be 14 yrs. na at san po ba pwedeng mag file ng annulment na hindi masyadong mahal at magkano po ang magagastos for annulment?

Ive been reading about RA 9262 and Protection Order, aslo about Legal Separation.
I want my husband to leave our house. Lately, I cannot stand the way his temper reacts. Just last night, he shouted at our 4-yo daughter just because she wanted to watch cartoons and he wanted to watch the Azkals game. My daughter cried when he changed the channel, and apparently, cannot stand the loud cry, he shouted at our daughter and obviously, natakot ang bata. She ran across the room crying and shaking. Hindi lang basta sigaw ito, may kasamang mura like Leche and Bwiset. Bakit daw hindi siya pagbigyan ng bata. I got mad because his temper is the same level as his temper pag may kaaway siyang kapwa driver. (Needless to say, halos wala kaming biyahe sa kotse na wala siyang naka-away na kapwa driver)
One temper episode also is when he shouted at me in front of my family. Sinabihan din niya ako ng Leche, Bwiset dahil lang hindi siya makakapaglaro ng soccer with his friends because I asked him to watch over our daughter as I am going on an out of town trip.
I checked on what qualifies for legal separation or RA 9262 and some reasons apply to my case.
1. My husband cannot provide for the family. I shoulder all expenses like house mortage, bills, tuition, food.
2. He is a philandering husband. I just found out his pictures in the original folders of my computer. I also found out that he had sex with our former teenage maid.

I just wanted him out of the house. Kung malabo ang legal separation, can I file for Protection Order?
How to go about it? Should I get a lawyer to draft the petition and then I can personally file it in a Family Court? May payment ba yun sa docket?

Thanks

personally, annulment is a better option than just legal separation unless you still want that your marriage be subsisting.

On what grounds kaya? Sexual infidelity? Or the usual psychological incapacity? Hindi ba mas mahirap itong ilaban sa court?
Hindi naman ako mayaman.

Sexual infidelity is not a ground for nullity or annulment. The best way is to have your marriage history reviewed by a lawyer. Psychological incapacity is often availed of when no other ground is present.

Also, write to your congressman and ask him to support the divorce bill.

butterfly, you have to make a distinction between void and voidable marriages.

Kung "annulled", ibig sabihin voidable ang marriage. Legitimate ang children.

Kung "null and void", generally illegitimate ang children save for those declared void by reason of psychological incapacity and void marriages under art. 53 in relation to art. 52. Subsequent marriage ito without complying with the law requirements.

Now, yung case ng tita mo is a bigamous marriage. The marriage is void from the very beginning. Unfortunately, because of this, the children are illegitimate. "kuha mo?" Anna manalastas..hehehe

good day to you!..

Dear LOSTSTUDENT

Yun na nga. Hindi ba mas apt sa akin ang Legal Separation or at least Protection Order. Pano kung ayaw naman niyang umalis sa bahay?

Naku kung aantayin ko pa ang Divorce Bill, baka abutin ako ng silver wedding anniversary.

dear theredpen

By all means, if you are being abused avail of the fastest remedy to you. File a case against him under RA9262. Yung annulment naman kasi will be best for you in the long run. For short term results, I advise na file a protection order.

My reply was only concerning your question whether infidelity is a ground for annulment. That is why I quoted it. I'm sorry if I wasn't clear.

With regards to the divorce bill, consider it a civic duty. It's not really a solution. Suntok sa buwan yan. But we can all help put some sense sa mga congressmen natin. that is why we elect them to pass the laws we need..hehehe!

good day to you!

Thanks Lost_Student. Minsan mas madali pang humanap ng kausap sa ganitong forum kesa sa totoong buhay. Now, if I can just find the right timing to do this.

5 yrs na kaming kasal; bago kami nagpakasal my manliligaw o gustong manligaw sa asawa ko, gusto siya ng asawa ko pero hindi naman nagpatuloy ang lalaki, hangang sa nagabroad si lalaki. Sa isang reunion, nagkita sila ng wife ko at doon narekindle ang kanyan LOVE sa lalaki at inamin niya ito sa akin.Sa umpisa pa lang hindi na maayos ang pagsasama namin at hindi matibay ang pundasyon ng aming pagmamahalan at isa ito sa mga dahilan. Matatawag ba itong infidelity?

Inamin lang nya sayo na mahal pa nya ang other guy? Wala naman syang ginawa?

if you mean sexually wala! nasa abraod na ang lalalki

It will not be considered as marital infidelity. Hearts are known to change. Try to teach your wife's heart to love you again.

Gerardo:
I go with Lost Student. Bilisan mong "ligawan" ang misis mo. Wag kang tumingin sa kakulangan niya o sa negative side ng pag-amin niya na may pagtingin pa siya dun kay past life heartthrob.Look at it this way, she told you she had feelings towards the other man because she is honest with you and at the same time, may be she was thinking that you might ask her if she loves him more than you. May be if you asked her, she would very lovingly tell you "of course I love you more than him and i am sticking to you forever,'ling". Baka ganun sana ang nagyari kaya lang kinulang ka naman sa lambing. Shower your love with love. Instead of worrying if she loves you or not, check your self if you are showing her your love or not.

God bless.

By the way, i am advising as a person who had gone through the adjustment period from single to married. My ways are not the same with your ways and the solutions I employed might not work as well with you but at I hope you can find some nuggets of wisdom from my words and finally enjoy the bliss of a happy and blessed marriage.
