I Am Currently Living in the US and I Want To File a Legal Separation Against My Husband Whom I’ve Been Separated From for More Than 3 Years. Do I Need To File the Case in the Philippines or Can I Do It Here in the US?
The case should be filed in the Philippines as the US has no jurisdiction over the case.
Your lawyer in the Philippines can send you a copy of the petition. You can then go to the Philippine Embassy or Consulate and have the verification and certification against forum shopping be authenticated by a duly authorized officer of the Philippine Embassy or Consul.
Your lawyer or any person, upon proper authority, will be able to file the case in the Philippine court.
