Petition for Recognition of Foreign Judgement

Pls help me what will i do to validate my divorce here. Nag file ako ng petition for recognition of foreign judgement with the the help of PAO but it was denied sabi ng Court nag submit nga po ako ng Certifacte of divorce pero hindi ko daw po napatunayan na may batas na divorce sa Japan at wala silang batayan na may divorce ang Japan dahil hindi po authenticated ang civil code copy at pirma lang ng librarian. My ex-husband who obtained the divorce in the Japan. Humingi po ako ng copy sa Japan Embassy ng Civil Code of Japan for Divorce at nakakuha ko pero ayaw nila authenticate or certify. Ano po dapat ko gawin at ano pang paraan para ma validate ang divorce ko dito at ma report sa NSO na divorce na ako. Yung Japanese matagal na pong Divorce 4 yrs na at ako umaasa pa din ma validate dito. Salamat sa matulungan nyo ako..

was your case dismissed with prejudice? meaning you can't refile?

the court decision did not mentioned dismissed with prejudice. The court only says my petition was denied because of insufficient documents though i submitted certificate of divorce and civil code but not authenticated. the court need authenticated civil code. Thank you for the reply.

then i recommend you file a motion for clarification. or re-file and hopefully no one will object.

the best proof of the foreign law is a certified true copy from their legislative body. one possible alternative, if acceptable to the court, is a copy attested to by a foreign lawyer and then certified by their foreign ministry and our embassy.

you will then need a an expert witness who can translate these docs.

Sino po pwede mag object pag ng re-file ako? ang problema ko po wala naman po ko communication sa Japanese mga calls ko hindi sinasagot at wala rin po kong pera pang bayad para sa mga papers tinutulungan lang po ako ng Public of Attorney. Hindi po ba parang unfair naman po ang batas pano kung yung iba walang pera at hindi ma afford ang gagastusin sa papers tulad ko. Hindi po ba sapat ang divorce certificate. Salamat po sa advise

the prosecutor can object on behalf of the state on the basis this matter has been decided upon by the court previously.
