What Should I Do with my Hubby?

[Florge]

I'm not so sure he would divorce her once he's in the UK. There are lots of people here who have been separated from an ex husband or wife for many years and have never bothered to get divorced because they probably see it as an unnecessary expense. Many end up just living together with a new partner and if and when they do get divorced, it is usually because they have decided to re-marry.

It is also possible that if his previous marriage took place in the Philippines, he might re-marry in the UK without bothering to get divorced as there would be no trace of his previous marriage in the UK.

True.. and if that's the case, their marriage here will be dissolved because foreign husband has re-marry.

But he might not remarry, ever. And if he did, how would she know that he had, if he just decided not to bother divorcing her first I mean. She would be left in limbo, probably never knowing if she was still married or not. That is the point I am trying to make.

If there's no communication for a certain period of time (7 years I think), she can go to the courts and ask for the dissolution of marriage...
