Naku, I always get questions like these! Sorry, pero, bad news ang hatid ko: Ang haba ng panahon ng paghihiwalay ay hindi dahilan upang kayo'y makapag-pa-annul ng kasal. Kahit 20 years pa kayong hiwalay, hindi pa rin ibig sabihin na puede na kayo'ng magpa-annul.

Kasi, ang annulment sa Pilipinas, sa ilalim ng Article 36 ay iisa lamang ang ground: psychological incapacity. Ibig sabihin, kailangang ma-prove na may sira sa pag-iisip ang asawa mo.

Ngayon, kung halimbawa ikay ay binubugbog, o ang asawa mo ay nambababae, kung ito lamang ang mga dahilan, hindi pa ito psychological incapacity. Kasi, ang mga ito ay sintomas lamang, pero kailangan talagang maipakita na may personality disorder ang asawa mo. So, kung walang personality disorder ang asawa mo, o ikaw, hindi kayo makapag-papa-annul ng inyong kasal.

Kailangan sumulat ka sa Congressman o congresswoman mo at sabihin sa kanya na dapat ay bumoto iya para maipasa na ang divorce law sa Pilipinas. Iyan ang kulang natin.

Please talk to a lawyer. Kasi, baka may ground ka naman pero makikita lamang ito ng abogado kung maikukuwento mo ang iyong talambuhay sa kanya. So, talk to a lawyer.
