    Divorce in UK, by Filipina on a visitor's visa

    I have a relation who is Filipino living in ROP.

    She has been trying to get an annulment for a couple of years, each time it seems close, there is a ‘request’ for more ‘legal fees’.

    Just a thought.

    If she travels to UK as a visitor,
    1. in what circumstances could her husband in ROP divorce her in UK ? I understand that he would / might be willing to go along with anything legal to achieve that.
    2. Could she divorce her husband through the courts in UK ?

    I understand the situation that only the defendant would be considered as divorced and thus free to remarry, by the ROP legal system.

    Thanks for any advice.

    John, for a Filipino national, it doesn’t matter where in the world they file for divorce, such divorce is not recognised as valid in the Philippines.

    Besides which, divorce in England & Wales requires that the Petitioner is domiciled here and has been habitually residing here for at least 6 months. Mean can't be done whilst on visit visa.
