Do you want DIVORCE to be legalized in the Philippines? Are you unhappily committed?

Yes. It's a living hell with someone who doesn't respect, care, and love you anymore. It'd be too much of an agony to bear.
Both parties should have the freedom to move on and perhaps marry someone will shower each of them with all the love they deserve. It'd be nice if they could have the chance to marry again. If you're unhappy and there's nothing you can do to save the marriage, why stay?...
I definitely want divorced to be legalized here in our country. It's so sad to hear stories about couples who will stay together even though they aren't happy anymore - either masyadong martyr ang isa sa kanila or it's too expensive to file for an annulment.

Definition of Divorce:
Divorce or dissolution of marriage is the ending of a marriage before the death of either spouse. It can be contrasted with an annulment, which is a declaration that a marriage is void, though the effects of marriage may be recognized in such unions, such as spousal support or alimony, child custody, child support, and distribution of property.


A divorce must be certified by a court of law, as a legal action is needed to dissolve the prior legal act of marriage. The terms of the divorce are also determined by the court, though they may take into account prenuptial agreements or post nuptial agreements, or simply ratify terms that the spouses have agreed on privately. Often, however, the spouses disagree about the terms of the divorce, which can lead to stressful (and expensive) litigation. A less adversarial approach to divorce settlements has emerged in recent years, known as mediation, an attempt to negotiate mutually acceptable resolution to conflicts.
