Title I — Marriage

Article 44

EO 209 · Family Code of the Philippines

ELI5— what this means for you

If the spouse who remarried under a presumptive death declaration knew that the absent spouse was still alive, they acted in bad faith. The bad-faith spouse forfeits their share of the net profits from the second marriage's community property in favor of the children of the second marriage, or the innocent spouse.
