Where must the judgment of absolute nullity of marriage be recorded?
A judgment declaring the absolute nullity of a marriage must be properly documented in public records. It is required to be recorded in the appropriate civil registry to take full legal effect. Additionally, the partition and distribution of properties must be recorded in the designated registries of property. This vital recording requirement is outlined in Article 52 Family Code of the Philippines. “Art. 52. The judgment of annulment or of absolute nullity of the marriage, the partition and distribution of the properties of the spouses, and the delivery of the children’s presumptive legitimes shall be recorded in the appropriate civil registry and registries of property; otherwise, the same shall not affect third persons.
