Got married in the PI, got divorced in US, wanting to re-marry, now a USC

Nope, no bickering here... just a few guys chewing the fat.... and having fun.

As for - You can put your husband's name on the property with you, no issue.

I was pretty sure I read the Title can have both names on it.

Let's clarify definition of property.

Land can only be owned (Title of Ownership) by Filipino citizen or Filipino Corporation.

A foreigner can own a house or building but not the land / lot which the building / house sits.

The "end around play" = Corporation with foreigner holding = maximum 40% of the corp....can buy land lot house building.

(The corporation has to meet legitimacy standards - Fairly easy to qualify)

Since you were a U.S. citizen when you divorced, and you want to get married in the Philippines, you should have your divorce judicially recognized. A judicial recognition of a foreign divorce is faster and it's less expensive than an annulment. A judicial recognition of a foreign divorce typically takes six months to one year and costs P50,000 to P100,000.

If neither of your future husband's parents are Filipino, then he will have to live in the Philippines for five continuous years in order to become a Philippines citizen.

Got it!

Both names can be on the contract, but not the title...

And of course the condo is only the building ..... so.

A guy could get a headache.... if it weren't for tall drinks!

Yes...Tall drinks are very helpful for curing headaches and many other "what ails me"...or suits me...or any other reason I find appropriate &...I have many "reasons" so.. it's not difficult to find a "reason" at any given moment.

Which works out quite nicely.

Nah...I'm kidding. Actually...I laid off the sauce for quite some time now. I had enough Single Malt (in time past) to keep me full for years to come.

Because there is no divorce in the PI when this topic comes up people get so confused, even Filipinos don't understand the process of annullment, what the process is to end a marriage recorded in the PI, after a divorce in another country. The family code of the Philippines is not well written and does not address the OP situation. The OP really needs to seek the advise of a PI lawyer before she goes tries to get dual citizenship...

1. The family code of the Philippines is for Filipinos only.

2. The OP is a US citizen now, the family code no longer applies to her.

3. She was US citizen at time of her divorce, she is just as divorced in the PI, as in the USA now.

4. She is no longer a Filipino citizen, so she can't have her divorce judicially recognized, get annulment, as of now she is no longer married in the PI.

5. What happens if she gets her Filipino citizenship back? Will she be married again to husband #1? If she get re-married will the marriage to husband #2 be null and void in the PI, because she still married to husband #1? The family code does not address this.

She needs to talk to a lawyer in the PI before she gets dual citizenship, or she may end up in a catch 22 situation, I am sure there is a way to do this and be able to get her dual citizenship and have her divorce recognized, just I don't know exactly how, and no one here does either...
