Annulment, Legal Separation, and the Possible Introduction of Divorce In the Philippines

At present, the law provides two main remedies for troubled marriages: annulment and legal separation. Both remedies recognize serious marital problems but address them in different ways.

There is also a proposed law — the Absolute Divorce Bill — which, if passed, will introduce divorce as an additional option. However, as of now, divorce is not yet legal in the Philippines.
