TOPIC: Recognition of Foreign Divorce in the Philippines - Part 1 of 10
SC Clarifies Rule on Foreign Divorce Recognition for Filipinos
In a landmark ruling, the Supreme Court clarified that when a foreign spouse obtains a divorce abroad, a Filipino need only prove the law of the country where the divorce was granted—not the foreign spouse’s national law.
Rosary Anido, a Filipina, sought recognition of her U.S.-granted divorce from her Peruvian husband. The High Court sided partially with her, emphasizing substantial justice and proper procedure.
This decision could simplify divorce recognition for OFWs and mixed-nationality marriages.
G.R. No. 253527, Anido v. Republic, March 6, 2025.
