    @Your_Lawyer Thanks for this nuggets attorney. I have a question po Atty. I’m a Former Filipino Citizen. Now I’m Canadian Citizen. No plan for dual citizenship for now. I’m planning to get marry in the Philippines, one of the requirements for Marriage License is Certificate of Legal Capacity to Contract Marriage since I’m considered foreigner. My question is am I still qualified to get a CENOMAR in the PsA and use that instead of the Certificate of Leagal Capacity to get Married? Thank you po. Looking forward po for your advice.

    The reason for all this is money. Dito kaya sa Pinas may package deal yang annulment kays mahal. From 250,000 pesos and above. Ginagawa kasing negosyo ng mga abogado at judge yan.

    If both became Canadian citizens, can the last will of either of the ex couple whoever die first, not to give any inheritance of a property in the Philippines (which was purchased when they were already separated) to the one who is still alive, be challenged by the ex wife/husband even though they have separated for many years aside from being both non Filipino citizens? Thanks attorney.

    Hi Atty., sana po mabigyan nyo po ako ng sagot, Norwegian citizen ako nung nghiwalay kami ng Norwegian husband ko at nbuntis ako 4 months before na-approved yung divorced nmin. (Nbuntis ako sa ka-live in ko now). Kapag uuwi kami ng Pinas mkasuhan ba ako ng adultery? Married pa pala record namin sa Pinas. Nasa Dumaguete nkatira yung ex-husband ko.

    Attorney how if the wife got married to another man with annulment papers without the signature of the legal husband or any approval from the husband whether in verbal or in paper)would their be a case that can be filed for this against the wife by the husband?
