Filipina seperated 20 years and re Marriage

Hard to file "presumptive death" Iain, my attorney explain to me all the consequence, you need to ask a copy of death certificate from National Statistic Office, so she cant get one because obviously he isnt dead yet, second the court will gonna see his (her husband) relatives to confirm where is he, so do you think that the relatives will agree to her that he is dead, third if they find he is still alive that is falsification of documents presented in court (although we know a lot of falsification stuff in PI can be made )

When I attend a hearing I heard that case, a wife filing a case "Presumptive Death" a lot of question asked her, and the court is thinking that she only just want to get married again, that is why?

Your last paragraph is acceptable enough (my mentor Iain)

You don't need a copy of his death certificate. All that is supposed to happen is that the attorney "supposedly" advertises in newspapers etc and checks records with official government departments, in the areas where he has "supposedly" known to have lived, but what really happens is that the attorney deliberately looks in all the wrong places and of course, finds nothing. The important thing is that the ex doesn't find out whats happening....... at least until it's all over anyway.

The whole thing is a farce really, but if she is eventually going to be living in the UK anyway, there aint gonna be any comebacks. Trust me, I've been there, done that and as long as she gets a good attorney and keeps quiet about what she's up to, (walls have ears you know) then I really think it's the best thing for her to do.

A smart attorney will assume that her husband is still alive and he will also assume that she knows damn well that he is still alive because from what I've been told, very very few of these cases are based on a genuine belief that the husband is dead, it's just much quicker and cheaper than annulment.
