I'm happy with my marriage by the way, but I have friends who are tied with marriage that is already failing yet they don't want to seek annulment because it just seems unfair not to acknowledge a marriage that produces their wonderful children.

Liza Maza. yes divorce is costly in america i heard. however if you check the grounds for divorce proposed, by 2 years of legal separation, couples can be divorced right away. annulment takes a very long process, numerous court hearings, even kids are involved sometimes. regarding the separation of properties/assets incase of divorce -- there is no final rules yet, the bill has to be approved and better yet, amended - incase changes are needed. however in annulment - spouses still have shared obligation to their children - especially financial support, and the judge also decides on that aspect. hi jaz, thanks for dropping by.

I was just wondering if this bill has been passed by the Senate, or not? Also, with regards to the question about the financial effects of annulment and legal seperation being different to that of divorce, isn't divorce as costly? I mean, here in the West, it's so expensive for couples to get a divorce and some ex-wives who are gold diggers make a livin out of it (i.e. Heather Mills, Paul McCartney's ex). And if this is the case, it means that the bill will only be available to the upper-class couples in the Philippines, which is like 10 to 20% of the population? So is it really worth having at all? Doesn't it perpetuate further inequality? (Correct me if Im wrong pls) Anywhoo, the topic of divorce in the Philippines can be a positive sign because it shows that the government and politics are "divorcing" because politics and religion don't mix, especially when your citizens don't all share the same religion.
