- Can annulment or legal separation be filed even without evidence?
- Good day from Recososa Law Firm!We received your inquiry from Lawzana regarding the possibility of filing for annulment or legal separation despite the absence of direct evidence such as screenshots of an extramarital affair. We are here to provide a clear legal response based on Philippine laws and jurisprudence.a.) Under Article 55 of the Family Code of the Philippines, legal separation may be granted on grounds such as repeated physical violence or grossly abusive conduct, drug addiction, and infidelity. Specifically, sexual infidelity or a proven extramarital affair constitutes a valid ground.b.) While direct evidence (e.g., screenshots, messages, photos) is helpful, Philippine courts allow circumstantial evidence and testimonial affidavits to establish proof of these grounds. For example, your personal testimony, corroborating witnesses (e.g., family, friends, or co-workers who knew of or witnessed the circumstances), and behavioral patterns may serve as competent evidence to support your claim.c.) As for annulment, if the basis is psychological incapacity under Article 36 of the Family Code, proof is required that one or both parties are incapable of fulfilling essential marital obligations. While infidelity alone does not equate to psychological incapacity, it may be cited as a manifestation of such incapacity if linked to an established personality disorder or persistent irresponsibility. This requires the assistance of a qualified psychologist or psychiatrist, but it can still proceed even if past consultation was limited—as long as the condition can be sufficiently described and proven during the proceedings.d.) In terms of cost, a Petition for Annulment or Legal Separation involves filing fees, professional fees, psychological evaluation (if applicable), and publication expenses. The exact amount depends on complexity, but we can structure the fees in a client-friendly and affordable manner. You may also negotiate for the erring spouse to shoulder the litigation cost as part of your prayer for damages, although such claims are subject to the discretion of the court.We strongly recommend that you hire us so we can evaluate the best course of action based on your full narrative. We can assist in building a compelling case supported by affidavit testimonies, documentation, and a psychiatric assessment when necessary.We can schedule an initial consultation via Zoom or in person. Client may schedule a convenient date and time of the meeting through the below Calendly link:https://calendly.com/recososalawfirmThere is a ₱2,000 consultation fee, which we will refund when you hire us after the consultation. Alternatively, client may also call or text +639175046510 or email [email protected] look forward to assisting you in protecting your rights and moving forward with confidence.
- About Concubinage
- Good day from Recososa Law Firm!In reference to your concern regarding a potential concubinage case to be filed by your former spouse, allow us to provide you with substantial guidance grounded in Philippine law.Under Article 334 of the Revised Penal Code of the Philippines, concubinage is committed by a husband who keeps a mistress in the conjugal dwelling, or has sexual intercourse under scandalous circumstances with a woman who is not his wife, or cohabits with such woman in any other place. The penalty imposed on the husband is prision correccional in its minimum and medium periods, while the concubine or mistress may only suffer destierro.a.) Based on the facts you have provided, there appears to be no evidence that you and your former spouse cohabited as husband and wife in the same household after marriage. This undermines one of the key elements of concubinage which involves cohabitation or the keeping of a mistress in the conjugal dwelling.b.) The mere existence of a child from another relationship, while it may serve as circumstantial evidence of a new relationship, does not automatically prove the existence of concubinage unless it can be shown that the relationship occurred under scandalous circumstances or that there was cohabitation.c.) Furthermore, your continued support for your children from the first marriage may reflect your good faith and sense of responsibility, which could support your defense should a complaint be filed.d.) Please note that concubinage is a private crime under Philippine law, which means it cannot proceed without a formal complaint filed by the legal wife, and it cannot be initiated merely based on assumptions or social media content. Moreover, you mentioned that you and your spouse separated informally in 2016 to 2018. This may be considered in weighing your lack of criminal intent, particularly in light of the consistent marital separation and lack of shared residency.As for your concern about affordability, we understand your situation and offer a reasonable consultation fee. We highly recommend that you hire a lawyer to protect your rights, prevent potential harassment, and prepare a legal defense, if necessary. We can also assist in possible legal remedies, including drafting a counter-affidavit or filing for annulment or legal separation if warranted by the facts.We can schedule an initial consultation via zoom call. Client may schedule a convenient date and time of the meeting through the below calendly link:👉 https://calendly.com/recososalawfirmThere is a 2,000 Philippine Peso consultation fee but we will refund consultation fee when client hires us after the consultation. Alternatively, client can also call or text on the below contact number +639175046510 or email [email protected] are here to assist you.
