remarriage

last january 2004, nagpakasal kami ng exhusband ko sa simbahan,but after knowing na hindi pa pala finally annulled ang first marriage nya dahil naharang ng OSG, hindi na namin naiatras ang kasal and i just decided na ituloy pero kinausap ko ang taga simbahan na wag ipasok sa NSO ang papel namin. They agreed and gave me all the marriage certificates, marriage license, etc. at nagkahiwalay din kami. Sa ngayon, I'm in a relationship and we're planning to get married soon... do i still need to file in court for judicial declaration na null and void ang kasal ko with my exhusband for the purpose of remarriage? thank you!

You have to, because it may come back to haunt you.

Wala pa po nagfifile ng petition.Kasi may nangyari na kasal sa amin although hindi naipasok sa NSO ang contract, null and void ang kasal na un pero ang sabi sa family code na no one can assume its nullity kundi ang korte. Kaya for the purpose of remarriage, kelangan pa daw ng judicial declaration otherwise, my second marriage would still be null and void. How long will it take po ba ung if magfile ako ng judicial declaration? kasing tagal din po ba ng annulment? thank you!.

i'd be a bit careful because you continued with the marriage in spite of knowledge of his previous marriage. that would make you liable as an accomplice to bigamy.

eh what if yung guy muslim then may naissue na divorce paper ang shari'a pero sabi sa nso di na mabubura ung previous marriage nyaa, question is mareregister ba ung bago nyang kasal if ever?

i am afraid i'm not knowledgeable in sharia law

hi! what if you've been separated na for more than 4 years and you never talked since, and he has 2 kids with another woman now? i heard from some people that after a few years without getting back together, you can remarry. is it possible?

you will be liable for bigamy unless there is a court order dissolving your first marriage.

I've been separated from my ex-wife for more than 10 years na. We were legally married in a civil wedding. The relationship did not last long, we got decided to part ways. We are both seeking for annulment, however, it is too expensive and lengthy process. I know the law doesn't have any shortcuts. My question is, pwede po ba ako magpakasal sa iba o siya pwede magpakasal sa iba since we have been separated for more than 10 years, without undergoing annullment?

Kung sa pwede o hindi, syempre pwede. You would however be committing bigamy if you remarry without dissolving your prior marriage first. The same thing applies to your wife. Bigamy yun pag nagpakasal sya ulit.
