“…This indicates that Nigerian migrant mothers may have more difficulties in securing a stable caregiving arrangement for their children. In addition, research found that tensions in the family arise when mothers migrate and fathers stay behind (Constable, 2003), which in turn may negatively affect child health. More research is needed to observe the mechanisms associated with maternal migration and child health.…”

“…The Family Code, however, provides three measures that allow spouses to seek relief from a marriage: a) legal separation, b) annulment of marriage, and c) declaration of nullity of marriage (Gloria 2007). Legal separation allows the couple to live separately but restrains them from remarrying because the prior marriage still legally exists (FenixVillavicencio and David 2000;Constable 2003;Emery 2013). Some of the grounds for legal separation include repeated physical violence or grossly abusive misconduct, drug addiction or habitual alcoholism, lesbianism or homosexuality, and sexual infidelity or perversion (Nolledo 1987).…”

“…Although annulment and declaration of nullity of marriage are available to terminate some marriages in the country, they have many shortcomings, one of which is their high economic cost (Taylor 1983;Constable 2003;Lopez 2006;Lauser 2008;Calonzo and Cayabyab 2013;Daytec-Yañgot 2015). Aside from the legal and economic barriers to dissolving marriage in the Philippines, there is also a strong stigma attached to having had a union dissolved (Chant 1997a;Raposas 2008), particularly for women, who are expected to keep the marriage together (Aguilar 1987 cited in Constable 2003). Despite this confluence of factors that impede the majority of Filipinos from terminating unsatisfactory marriages, evidence still points to a growing number of Filipinos who have had their marriage dissolved or sought to have their marriage dissolved (Abalos 2011;Emery 2013).…”

“…Improved communication has enabled many Filipino households to extend social and economic networks between several nations. A classic example of this extension of locality appears in Nicole Constable's (2003aConstable's ( , 2003b ethnography of Filipinas in internet-mediated international marriages. Constable (2003b, p. 32) finds that the purported power of the electronic medium has not transcended subjects' agency within it, arguing that 'the internet has turned correspondence into more than a method of introduction and into a community in the larger sense'.…”
