Malta
Can someone please update the section on Malta to discuss the referendum? A good source is here. I'd do it myself, but for some reason the article is protected. 75.154.73.203 (talk) 16:53, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

Philippine law on divorces abroad
I'm not sure if the reference to Article 26 of the Philippine Family Code is relevant or not; it's cited here as a contention that a marriage in the Philippines between an alien and a Filipino citizen can be ended for both parties if the alien obtains a divorce outside the Philippines.

The author quotes the second paragraph of Article 26. The first paragraph, however, begins by referring to the case in which an alien and a Filipino are married outside the Philippines, not in the Philippines. It's unclear from a layman's reading of the article whether the entire article applies only to marriages outside the Philippines or whether a Filipino married in the Phils and subsequently divorced by his/her alien spouse in another country is free to remarry. 183.97.59.157 (talk) 06:56, 25 November 2012 (UTC)


 * My understanding is while the application of Philippine law is universal (hence, if two aliens are married in the Philippines, or two Filipinos are married outside the country, they'd be subjected to divorce laws in the country inasmuch as property rights and the like concerned), its application stops when it can't be enforced anymore. Therefore, if any couple had properties outside the Philippines, Philippine law can't be used to determine who gets what. – H T  D  18:56, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

Philippines legalized divorce at some point
I read somewhere that it was legal until it was prohibited by the Civil Code of the Philippines in 1950. – H T  D  18:56, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

Absolute divorce & limited divorce: What do these terms mean?
The article mentions that U.S. courts recognize two types of divorce, absolute divorce and limited divorce, but does not explain what these terms means. It would help if someone with more knowledge on the meaning of these two legal terms add an explanation of what each is. --50.247.125.19 (talk) 16:14, 29 August 2014 (UTC)

Divorce settlements as strategic Tax Evasion
Hi, there are two very high-profile cases which are widely known to have been "for the money"; in the UK, the courts will basically award half the fortune to each party; both two of the world`s largest settlements have been awarded to foreigners/foreign residents by UK courts, HMRC having no remit at all.
