She can get her marriage annuled at the church if she applys for it. That would help the situation.

Who cares if her x has a girlfriend with a child!
This is not for her to feel guilty about. Children are wonderful in any way.
As for the Catholic Church, she can’t get married the second time in a Catholic Church unless she gets annulled (strict conditions apply). Who cares how the church views this, what do they know about “being married”?
We would like to believe a marriage is forever, this is “hog wash”!
The friends and family have to be realistic not ideal, if the marriage didn’t work it is not the end of the world. It may work with you!
If you love each other and have what it takes – go for it!!
I wish you both great happiness,
Steph

If she was married in the Philippines, there’s a good chance that she is not divorced since divorce is not legal in Philippines and annullments are not easily granted.
If no one is relaying information or she has no more contact with her “ex” husband, it would only be her assumption that he has a girlfriend with a child.
The Catholic church strongly dissapproves any form of divorce as repeated reminders and scriptures emphasize “what God has joined together, let no man separate”.
Any Catholic who breaks their promise and their holy obligation commits sin. That doesn’t mean that she would always be a bad person, but it does mean she would be less likely to hold on to her next holy promises, had she truly “divorced”. If one is capable of divorcing then that person may also be capable of getting involved in another unstable relationship and jump-ship when things get shaky again. Much like a holy form of your credit rating. lol.
Love is wonderful and often blinding. Be cautious and protect your assets if you plan to live in a legal system that’s open to abuse.
Good luck!
