THBT: Divorce should be legalized in the Philippines

I just want to clarify that in the Philippines Catholic Church doesn't want to have a DIVORCE in the country itself but the "BIG BUT there" is we will not include any RELIGIOUS CONOTATION. I just also want to clarify that divorce is a solution for a couple if only if there was a conflict and for them to have "FREEDOM". The word freedom their means that the conflict was WORST! . Because CASE IN THE PHILIPPINES were the husband and wife have big problems. And they chose to have separation. And this ITseparation is good for DIVORCE because DIVORCE have agreements such as divide your property as well as your debts, decide parenting issues such as custody, visitation, and child support, determine if alimony applies and the amount be paid etc. hes This was your statement in your first argument : "I would say to you that there are certain parameters that would allow for a divorce to be okay. 1. Physical Abuse from one spouse to another. This is definitely a horrible thing. 2. Adultery, i. e. one spouse cheating on the other. These are the only two valid reasons for getting a divorce. " We should consider these in this debate, because the conditions for this debates are when COUPLES have a problem AND HAVE DECIDED TO HAVE SEPARATION. And also the parameters that you have stated above. You have just misunderstood what is my point. I just want you to know that most cases here in the PHILIPPINES are problem in COUPLES and decided to have separation. E SHOULD CONSIDER THESE CE PHILIPPINES. This is I want you to know that DIVORCE is better for a couple to have separation and not to have conflicts and that may more affect the child compared when there is no DIVORCE. No! . In divorce, there is an AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE TWO(husband and wife) for the child, properties etc. This will be the job of the lawyers, this will be agreed between the TWO SIDES. In the Philippines, it is best to have divorce compared to have BIG conflicts that may more affect them and with the child. Will you choose to have BIG PROBLEMS than to have a divorce that you have AGREEMENTS and it is LEGAL and have WRITTEN DOCUMENTS that may serve as an evidence for your AGREEMENTS? ?? ?? YOU SHOULD CONSIDER NOW THE PRESENT EVENTS HAPPENING IN PHILIPPINES. Now lets go to the Constitution of the Philippines: Under the Presidential Decree 1083, TITLE III: Article 58. Legitimacy, how established. Legitimacy of filiation is established by evidence of valid marriage between the father and the mother at the time of the conception of the child. Article 59. Legitimate children. (1) Children conceived in lawful wedlock shall be presumed to be legitimate. Whoever claims illegitimacy of or impugns such filiation must prove his allegation. (2) Children born after six months following the consummation of marriage or with two years after the dissolution of the marriage shall be presumed to be legitimate. Against this presumption no evidence shall be admitted other than that of the physical impossibility of access between the parents at or about the time of the conception of the child. Article 60. Children of subsequent marriage. Should the marriage be dissolved and the wife contracts another marriage after the expiration of her 'IDDA, the child born within six months from the dissolution of the prior marriage shall be presumed to have been conceived during the former marriage, and if born thereafter, during the later. Article 61. Pregnancy after dissolution. If, after the dissolution of marriage, the wife believes that she is pregnant by her former husband, she shall, within thirty days from the time she became aware of her pregnancy, notify the former husband or his heirs of that fact. The husband or his heirs may ask the court to take measures to prevent a simulation of birth. Article 62. Rights of legitimate child. A legitimate child shall have the right: (a) To bear the surnames of the father and of the mother; (b) To receive support from the father or, in his default, from his heirs in accordance with Articles 65 and 68; and (c) To share in the legitimate (furud) and other successional rights which this Code recognizes in his favor. Article 63. Acknowledgment by father. Acknowledgment (igra) of a child by the father shall establish paternity and confer upon each the right inherit from the other exclusively in accordance with Article 94, provided the following conditions are complied with: (a) The acknowledgment is manifested by the father's acceptance in public that he is the father of the child who does not impugn it; and (b) The relations does not appear impossible by reason of disparity in age. Article 64. Adoption. No adoption in any form shall confer upon any person the status and rights of a legitimate child under Muslim law, except that said person may receive a gift (hiba). Executive Order no. 209, Most of the titles will be discussed in the agreements of the TWO SIDES. TITLE I MARRIAGE Chapter 1. Requisites of Marriage( ranging from Article 1-26) Chapter 2. Marriages Exempted from License Requirement( ranging from Article 27-34 ) Chapter 3. Void and Voidable Marriages( ranging from Artcile 35-54) TITLE III RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS BETWEEN HUSBAND AND WIFE(ranging from Article 68-73) TITLE IV PROPERTY RELATIONS BETWEEN HUSBAND AND WIFE Chapter 1. General Provisions(ranging from Article 74-81) Chapter 2. Donations by Reason of Marriage(ranging from Article 82-87) Chapter 3. System of Absolute Community(ranging from Article 88-148) TITLE V THE FAMILY Chapter 1. The Family as an Institution(ranging from Article 149-162) These Laws, will be discussed and the lawyers will be explaining if what will happen to them if they have decided to divorce. .what are the consequences that will they face. .and the AGREEMENTS as well as is under these LAWS. That may lead to a peaceful way in separating. We should consider the "avoidance of adultery and concubinage and we should consider the EVENTS occuring now in the PHILIPPINES. And look How marriage survive facing the problems(HEAVY)? ?. thus, it must be legalized in the Philippines. (TO LESSEN CONTROVERSIES) Also, for the people in the Philippines may choose if what will they do? ?? .. DIVORCE? .. if they have HEAVY PROBLEM(mostly occuring now a days) I strongly believe that DIVORCE IN THE PHILIPPINES SHOULD BE LEGALIZED.
