if the foreigner spouse is the one asking for divorce, then the divorce will be recognized by the Philippines

from the family code of the Philippines

Where a marriage between a Filipino citizen and a foreigner is validly celebrated and a divorce is thereafter validly obtained abroad by the alien spouse capacitating him or her to remarry, the Filipino spouse shall have capacity to remarry under Philippine law. (As amended by Executive Order 227)

this wouldnt happen for my spouse automatically though... she would have to go through a long (1-2 year) court process, and hire a lawyer to represent her in court, it would cost thousands of dollars, and might even get denied for whatever reason

well anyways you should not marry if divorce is in your mind it does not matter if  you are thinking about a year or 50 years down the road. Yes things changes in life, but you do not marry someone thinking divorce can happen

I am pretty sure you can get married in a third country, but I am not sure. Just something to look up.

I am not judging, but seriously? So what do you do if things go south? Just stick to it?

If it goes south, if you have the money, you can file an annulment. The other option, live separately and still legally married with that other person even you both found significant others. One problem with this, even you have been separated for decades, and one dies, the legal spouse can still claim all the benefits despite being separated and having another family. It is screwed up and I wish the Ph would just get over that and allow divorce in the PH.

They amended it that the foreign spouse or the Filipino spouse can file the divorce and still be recognized (but it is a long process nonetheless).
