Please clear me up on this particular question, I asked on several forums, most they said I'll check "divorced" and lately here on VJ "Forever in Love" say I will check "single(never married)......by the way I'm annulled, on my own understanding, what's the used of putting there divorced as one of the choices then? and on

Q#18 it ask the "spouses full name"(even if divorced or separated.include midden name).....

I think this may result to AR if we get wrong information, cause most of the info they get are from our DS FORMS....

Q#17 Marital Status:

married__ Single(never married)__

Widowed__ Divorced__ Separated__

Let's take this example.

As on January 1st, Joe Smith is single (never married).

On February 1st, Joe Smith marries Jane Black. Now his status is Married.

On March 1st, a court issues a final decree that the marriage on February 1st is annulled and never existed. Now his status is Single (never married).

Joe can provide proof that he is single (never married) by showing his court issued final annullment decree.

I presume the ground you used in your annulment is Article 36 which is psychological incapacity since it is the most popular ground in the Philippines for Annulment. Once you have the Decree of Annulment, the end result is that the marriage never existed and void from the very beginning and the only "acknowledged" result is/are the child/childrne borm out of that marriage who is/are considered legitimate, therefore you should check SINGLE NEVER MARRIED.

Philippine laws DO NOT recognize DIVORCE so absolutely we can't use that.

Just my opinion
