Judicial Recognition of Divorce Decree
U.S. citizens and foreign citizens who divorce in a foreign court must file this petition for their divorce to be recognized and recorded on their marriage certificate before they can register a new marriage.
Annulment of Marriage
The Philippines does not recognize the decree of divorce if both spouses are Filipino citizens. Annulment of marriage is the only way to dissolve a Philippine marriage.
Declaration of Nullity of Marriage
Philippine Marriages that are void from the beginning need to be declared as such through a court petition before you enter into another subsequent marriage. IF you don't do this, you might be liable for Bigamy for which you can be arrested in the Philippines.
