What is the status of children born from a valid subsequent marriage following an annulment?
Children born from a subsequent marriage that complies with all legal requirements are fully protected by the state. They are legally considered legitimate children of the newly established marital union. This assumes the parents properly recorded the prior annulment before lawfully contracting the new marriage. This legitimate status is explicitly confirmed in Article 54 Family Code of the Philippines. “Children conceived or born of the subsequent marriage under Article 53 shall likewise be legitimate.” 31-Jul-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
