Difference between Annulment and Legal Separation

To have a FOREIGN DIVORCE decree recognized in the Philippines, you need to:
• File the proper petition in court.
• File the divorce decree for recognition in the Philippine Regional Trial Court (RTC).
• Prove that the foreign divorce decree was validly obtained according to the foreign spouse’s national law.
• Once the local court recognized the foreign divorce decree, register it to the LCRO of the place of jurisdiction of the RTC which granted the petition.
• Note that a foreign divorce decree is not automatically recognized in the Philippines.
