His marriage in the US may be valid only in so far as the US law and/or US government are concerned. But not here in the Philippines. The divorce paper is not a proof of the ground/s for annulment. It can be a proof that your husband has abandoned you and obtained a divorce in order to get married in the US. The ground is psychological incapacity of the parties under Art. 36 of the Family Code. Thus, you need to submit for a psychological evaluation. For the other questions I can answer that through your email. Just email me at [email protected]. This is to preserve your privacy.Moreover, if you want to read m ore about annulment and procedure I discussed it in the TELL ME ABOUT page of my website www.philattorney.com
