Within what period must the action to revoke donations based on legal separation be filed?
The right of the innocent spouse to revoke donations is not an indefinite or permanent legal privilege. The action to properly revoke the donation must be brought within a strict timeframe of five years. This five-year period begins exactly from the time the decree of legal separation becomes absolutely final. This prescriptive period is clearly defined in Article 64 Family Code of the Philippines. “The action to revoke the donation under this Article must be brought within five years from the time the decree of legal separation has become final.
