What is the role of the prosecuting attorney in a legal separation case?
The prosecuting attorney acts as the official representative of the state to protect the vital institution of marriage. The court shall strictly order the fiscal to take steps to prevent any collusion between the separating parties. They must also carefully take care to ensure that evidence is neither fabricated nor suppressed during the trial. This protective state intervention is fundamentally required by Article 60 Family Code of the Philippines. “In any case, the court shall order the prosecuting attorney or fiscal assigned to it to take steps to prevent collusion between the parties and to take care that the evidence is not fabricated or suppressed.
