1. The parties were married some 20 years ago in the Philippines. They come from that country, but have been living here for some time now. Unfortunately, their marriage ran into difficulties. Such difficulties increased. Things come to a head last year; and on March 14, that year, the wife presented a petition for divorce. A few months later, in July, she amended her petition to tone it down. The amended petition then went undefended; and, in the succeeding month, a decree nisi was pronounced.
