Im married to a Filipina.. If I initiate a divorce in the UK,I can come back here and get married again.. So can my ex wife as she had no part in initiating the divorce.
If she divorces me anywhere abroad...Different story.
That said.. There are many wealthy Filipino`s that seem to find a way around their first marriages by getting divorced in countries like Guam etc..
There is an actor here from Bohol that became a muslim... That, it seems is another way to be able to marry more than one woman..
Sorry...Im going off on one of my strange tangents..

Under UK law, one of the grounds for divorce is 5 years separation. Doesn't need to be legal separation and has nothing to do with any laws outside of UK.
This is UK divorce law. Period

When this is used as grounds for divorce, it does not require any input or consent from the respondent spouse. Means her husband is not required to agree or disagree, it makes no difference, the divorce WILL be granted.

In this sense it is the only trouble-free divorce in UK. Period.

Now that's the divorce.

We have no information as to the nationality of the husband, nor do any of us know where they originally got married.
All that's being stated here is that ANY divorce initiated by your Filipina lady as petitioner will NOT be recognised in the Philippines under Philippine law.
