    He does not to be a resident of the UK. I know someone who is illegal, divorced her spouse, this was granted, finally got married.

    I used 'resident' in the common definition i.e. that is:- where the person lives.

    The problem is the divorce is not valid under Phil. law

    I cannot comment on that, other than to say, my divorce in UK (from a UK marriage) was valid in Phil.

    I would think that if a divorce outside Phil is recognised then all divorces outside Phil should be recognised. After all, it is in effect the same as happens in Phil except that there it is called 'Annument' and the Gov make it difficult for people without substantial funds to to break free from a life which they find unacceptable.

    However, from the way the Phil Gov restrict, what would be accepted in most civilised countries, their citizens rights, I am willing to believe almost anything.

    Please don't attack me for stating the truth, I am not anti Philippines just pro Filipino !

    Your divorce was granted because you are a foreigner, Right??
    Even a foreigner is married in the Phil. He/She can you can initiate the divorce in the country whe he/she lives . This is allowed and valid for foreigners and for those Filipinos who became a citizen of that country.

    But if you're still a Filipino, the best way is to file a petition in the Phil. courts because even your divorce is granted in the UK this will not be valid in the UK.
