I belive wheter divorce is recgonised in phill depends on if married in phill or the uk.
Am i right in saying if married in phill you need to get anulled in phill for the phills to recgonise her as single. if married in the uk and divorced here then she is considered single in phill i belive.
Whatever happens colin please dont feel shy on here, im sure all on here wish to help your child, wife and you so the happiest conculsion out of a sad situation is possible for you all.
