LOTLOT DE LEON AND RAMON CHRISTOPHER ANNULMENT RESULT - - - MARRIAGE DECLARED NULL AND VOID

The Marriage of Ramon “Monching” Christopher De Leon and Lotlot De Leon for almost 19years has ended on May 01, 2008 as the RTC-Quezon City Regional Trial Court declared their Marriage null and void. This is because they were underage when they got married last March 27, 1989.

Lotlot De Leon filed an annulment case against Ramon Christopher De Leon by the reason of irreconcilable differences.

When Lotlot received the verdict of their annulment from her lawyer she felt so happy and for her… "When I got the call from my lawyer, I am really surprised. But there is a misconception that people experiencing the same situation should be happy... for me it was mixed emotions.”

She added that she was not that proud of what happened to their marriage because of their children. She admitted that it is not that simple for their children to cope up from what is happening. Just like the other couple around who experienced the same sort of problems, there is still a lesson that leaves us behind and teaches us from what we have experienced.

The actress said that she is now happy and contented because the respect that monching gave her is the most important and the guidance and proper care as well that her partner is now sharing with their children.

Lotlot informed the kids about the court’s decision and she was also the one who called monching and informed him about the decision of their annulment.

CHILD VISITATION RIGHTS

The law encourages parents to spend as much time and contact with their children. While the action for annulment or declaration of nullity of marriage is pending in court or still on going, you still have the legal right to see or visit your child/children anytime you wanted to.

If the visitation turns out to be detrimental to the best interests of the child, the court may step in and terminate visitation rights.

Diether Ocampo’s Marriage to Kristine Hermosa has been declared null and void from the beginning by the Court Of Appeal. Abante Newspaper dated February 11, 2009, has published the most popular issue of annulment between these two celebrities.

21, 2004 in Jaen, Nueva Ecija.

After more than two years of fighting and waiting for her annulment case finally has been served and…. finally granted.

…The Court of Appeal explained also that the Absence of a Marriage certificate, being an essential element for the marriage to be valid, rendered the marriage null and void from the beginning.
Court of Appeal added that the absence of the primary requisites is a vital element to prove the marriage between two persons. It also elucidated that the marriage of Diether and Kristine has been invalid from the beginning.

A part of the decision read: “The absence of any of the essential or formal requisites shall render the marriage void from the beginning. It is a Hornbook doctrine that findings of the facts of trial courts are entitled to great weight on appeal and should not be disturbed except for strong and valid reasons.”

SPOUSAL SUPPORT LAWYER

... Looking for SPOUSAL SUPPORT LAWYER? My lawyer is also handling this kind of case. If you have the same sort of problem like Mendoza v. Parungao Case 49 Phil. 271, I can refer you to my lawyer.

In most cases, spousal support ceases when the marriage is annulled or declared void by the court. It has ended upon the remarriage of the other spouse. But if the action is not dissolve the marriage and the marriage is still valid and subsisting, spousal support is usually granted to allow the wife to become self-supporting at a standard of living reasonably comparable to the one she enjoyed during the marriage. A valid marriage is necessary for spousal support to have a legal foundation.

Spousal Support and a valid marriage are co-terminous. Once the final judgment granting the petition of annulment of marriage the obligation of mutual support between the spouses ceases according to ARTICLE 198, Family Code. Once the marriage has been declared void or annulled, the duty to provide spousal support also ends based on the case of Mendoza v. Parungao, 49 Phil. 271.
