Supreme Court eases rules for recognizing foreign divorces of Filipinos
Filipino spouses asking Philippine courts to recognize a foreign divorce will no longer need to prove the foreign divorce law, under amended rules the Supreme Court approved on October 7, The Manila Times and Philstar reported. They only have to show the divorce decree was issued, and the divorce is presumed absolute unless the decree says otherwise. A court petition is still required. The rules take effect 15 days after posting online.
