To me this sounds like you want to travel to Europe to get married during her visit to UK.
If so the answer is NO it's not possible. Because she would need a visa to travel to Europe and she cannot secure a visa here in UK as she only holds a limited leave visit visa.
She would need a visa which is valid for 6 months or more.

If you mean that she would travel to a European Country from Philippines with the intention of marriage to a non-citizen of that country then she would indeed need to supply a document of 'singleness'. IE CENOMAR
Almost all the documents would need to be translated into the language of that country.

No.
You would need to be exercising treaty rights and living with your spouse in the EEA country for 3-6 months.
After the marriage she would have to return to the Philippines in order to apply another Visa. Or she should try to secure a long term visa prior to the marriage. Not very easy.

To apply for a spouse visa from the Philippines she'd need to be married.

Quite honestly, the simplest strategy is to have her UK divorced legally recognised in the Philippines.
However, is she was the divorce petitioner here in UK she cannot do that.

So the big question bigmac is this....was she petitioner or respondent in her divorce??
Once that is known we can direct you in a much simpler way.
