Philippines	QUESTION	--TYPOS' CORRECTED-- I am asking this question for a co-worker. She is worried about a relative who wanted to marry a filipina. Her relative (let's pretend his name is Homer) is originally from Guam hence legally a US citizen. The filipina (I'll name her Katie) I'm assuming has been living in USA for more than 5 years. Katie and Homer have a kid together who's about a year old now. They decided to get married but Katie wanted to do it in the Philippines because most of her relatives are there. By the way, Katie is legally married to a filipino in the Philippines but they didn't have any kids together. Now here's where the concern started. My co-worker had seen a documentary on TV about a dude from London who was imprisoned in the Philippines, for 5 years, for adultery. The dude went to the Philippines to meet a filipina. This filipina is actually married to a filipino when she hook up with the dude from London. The dude didn't know about it. After his stay in the Philippines, he posted pictures of him with the filipina in facebook. The filipina's husband found out about the pictures and to make matters worst, after a couple or few months the filipina found out she's pregnant with the other dude's kid. The husband filed for adultery. According to the documentary, by law the kid is legally the husband's kid (although not biologically) since the filipina is still married to him when the affair happened. The main concern is pretty apparent. Homer doesn't want to go to jail. They wanted to take their kid with them to the Philippines but didn't want to have any problems should husband in the Phillippines file for anything. I told my co-worker that divorce is not legal in the Philippines. And that there's only annulment which could be expensive. Answers (legal or not) are really appreciated.
