There is currently no absolute divorce in the Philippines. What we have is annulment or declaration of nullity of marriage. A case for annulment or a declaration of nullity of marriage is filed at the Regional Trial Court of the place of your residence in the Philippines or that of your spouse. The ground usually used as basis for this is Psychological Incapacity under Article 36 of the Family Code. Psychological Incapacity means the failure to understand and comply with the essential marital obligations of living together and observing mutual love, respect and fidelity owing to a psychological cause. The manifestations of psychological incapacity could range from sexual abuse or infidelity, physical or psychological abuse, sexual perversion, homosexuality, abandonment, refusal to give support, refusal to cohabit, drug addiction, alcoholism, excessive jealousy and extreme indolence or laziness. However, if you are a foreigner who has secured a valid divorce abroad, you have the option of filing a Petition for Recognition of Foreign Divorce with the Regional Trial Court.
