FAQ
Cohabitation for at least five years: Both parties must have lived together continuously as husband and wife for at least five years before the date of the marriage. The five-year cohabitation must be uninterrupted and must show that both parties were living in a relationship akin to marriage.

Relevant Dates and Duration. Purpose of the Affidavit. Acknowledgment of Truth and Voluntary Execution. Signature and Notarization.
Application: Couples residing together apply at their Barangay office, supplying necessary identification and proof of residency. Verification Process: The Barangay office verifies the cohabitation through established procedures.

They must be valid contracts, which means each party must know and acknowledge the terms of the agreement, it must be in writing, and each party must receive something in consideration for signing it (other than sexual favors).
