but if the filipina is the one who initiated the divorce then, NO...

First of all, no divorced here in Philippines, just annulment. If the Filipina is in other country and file a divorced there. The divorced then is not recognized here. That's what I have read.

Hello! I am new in VJ forum. I just want to tell you that you don't need to get petition for recognition for divorce. I am divorced to from my foreign ex husband and He filed a divorced in US year 1998. I asked a lawyer regarding on getting petition for recognition on my divorced and he told me it won't necessary if I am getting married in other country and not here in Philippines.

Just want to share this:

Art. 26. All marriages solemnized outside the Philippines in accordance with the laws in force in the country where they were solemnized, and valid there as such, shall also be valid in this country, except those prohibited under Articles 35(1), (4), (5) and (6), 36, 37 and 38. (71a)

Where a marriage between a Filipino citizen and a foreigner is validly celebrated and a divorce is thereafter validly obtained abroad by the alien spouse capacitating him or her to remarry, the Filipino spouse shall likewise have capacity to remarry under Philippine law. (n) (as amended by E.O. No. 227, dated July 77, 1987)

Finally! After a year of waiting our package was mailed 2/1/2010 and arrived 2/2/2010.

May and I are both overjoyed.

What requirements did you submit in CFO? Congratulations to both of you!

Hello! I am new here and I just want to ask some few questions since you already done with the interview. I am divorced and I didn't apply my divorced for petition of recognition for divorced. I asked my lawyer if it is really necessary and he told me if I am getting married in US the embassy wont ask anything just divorced degree. Can you help me? I am confused!

Are you not returning to the Philippines after your marriage?

If you will be going through the Visa process in the PH then you will need to do it otherwise you'll have problems leaving PH as CFO won't accept the new marriage since your first marriage is still valid in the PH!

I'll never understand why some people don't bother to do things the right way and then will cry foul when it catches-up with them?

Just be aware that not having your divorce recognized BEFORE entering a second marriage can cause you problems if you return to the PH...

This couple just pass the interview and CEMAR Annotated with Recognition of Foreign Divorce (not needed for K1 Visa Process). I asked my lawyer too and he said it is not necessary unless you want to get married here in Philippines and want to clear my marriage record in NSO. I hope this can help!

Ok my 129F petition was abroved 1 Aug 2010. My fiance was married before but got divorce in 1991. Her Cenomar says she still married. we have be contacted an attorney and was told take about a year to change the cenomar. Not to mention 5000 usd cost, very bad news. I ask the philippine experts here for any advice they can give. Are we doomed? I am military and will be deploying next year so if she doesn't come soon will be a few years before can come... Plus the petition runs out Nov. then what? Plz help

Cenomar is for those who were never married. I don't think she need to get cenomar. She just need to submit divorced or dissolution paper.

Did you use your single name on your application? If you are divorced, you don't need to get a cenomar. Cenomar are for those who are still single. You was married and just need to submit divorced papers. I also ask my lawyer regarding Petition for Recognition for Divorce and he told me it is not necessary if I am getting married in other country. But if I want to clear my record of marriage and it cost 50,000 pesos and only takes 6 months.

You can ask a lawyer but be careful, I suggest you go to family lawyer or friend lawyer. Have a wonderful day and God Bless us all!

All the best, JlovesA!

Who cancelled the process?
