Kasal po ako sa asawa kong hapon dito sa Japan. Ngayon po wala pa poh akong visa, kasalukuyan pong iniimbistigahan ung kaso ko sa immigration. Ngayon poh sabi ng asawa koh kapag napauwi daw ako ng pinas mag divorce muna daw kame dito sa Japan at magpakasal nalang daw ulit sa Pinas. Sabi koh hindi mo ako madidivorce hanggat wala akong pirma. Sabi niya po pwede daw kme ma divorce kahit wala akong pirma. Ang concern koh po pwede poh ba yun? Dito sa Japan kahit walang pirma koh madidivorce kami?
Pwede bang ma-divorce kami sa Japan kahit walang pirma ko?

I am sorry to hear about your marriage and immigration troubles. Una sa lahat, I am a lawyer in the Philippines and I am familiar with marriage and immigration laws in the Philippines. But, I am not familiar with marriage and immigration laws in Japan.
The best way for you to know kung puede ka ngang i-divorce ng iyong asawang Japanese, is to Google it. Then, look for websites of the Japanese government that explains divorce proceedings in Japan.
I Googled the question: "Can a Filipina wife of a Japanese national divorce her without her signature?" I was led to this website:
http://www.nic-nagoya.or.jp/en/e/archives/5018
It appears that in Japan, a divorce petition may be accepted by the municipal government where the Japanese national resides even if it is a divorce by agreement (ibig sabihin ay nagkasundo ang mag-asawa na mag-divorce na lang).
Ang hindi puedeng magpa-divorce by agreement ay ang dalawang Pilipino na mag-asawa, na naka-tira sa Japan dahil sa ang ating bansa ay hindi tumatanaw ng divorce by agreement.
Please look at that website. It is an official government website of the Nagoya Prefecture. Hope this is of help to you.
