John Smith an American marries a Filipina in The Philippines and later files for divorce in California, the Filipina spouse is still entitled to be notified of the impending divorce action. Does she not, regardless of California being a no fault state? The divorce is granted
John Smith returns to the Philippines after securing his divorce. He marries another Filipina, however a confirmation and recognition of the foreign divorce decree is never issued from the Philippine court. The first Filipina wife is technically still recognized as being married to Mr Smith and still carries his sir name as far as Philippine law is concerned. Further more, she can not marry again until the divorce is recognized by the Philippine court. Can Mr Smith regardless of this, legally marry another Filipina since wife # 1 can not without the confirmation? If Mr Smith did manage to marry wife # 2 in the Philippines, would this 2nd marriage be void? It seems so... Mr Smith secures a marriage visa for wife #2 who than migrates the the U S. Although Mr, Smith is considered legally divorced in CA., his 2nd marriage may well be considered void and illegal in the Philippines, is it not? If the 1st wife is barred from remarrying than Mr smith should be also since the confirmation and recognition of the foreign divorce decree was not issued. Further more, how could two Filipinas be carrying the same mans sir name at the same time? So the 2nd wife may not be legally married in the U S!
