Re: long distance divorce?

Yes, if you are validly married in the Phillipines, you must get divorced here before you can marry again. The process can be quite simple if your first wife agrees to cooperate with the process. It will take approximately 90 days to complete if there are no complicating factors. We offer a free initial consultation, so please contact our office to schedule a time to meet with one of our attorneys.
