1.
FALSE. Roberta’s legal capacity to acquire property, she being a Filipino, is governed by her national law, that is, Philippine law. Under Philippine law, Roberta is still a minor and needs her parent’s consent before she can acquire a house in Australia.
2.
FALSE. The prescriptive period to file an action for legal separation starts to run from the time of the occurrence of the cause. Several acts of sexual infidelity were committed in 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2005. Hence, the prescriptive period can start to run from 2005 for the sexual infidelity committed during that year.
3.
FALSE. The debt is an ante-nuptial debt redounding to the benefit of the family. Hence, the community property of the spouses shall be liable for its payment.
4.
FALSE. Marsha is not estopped although she had not filed an annulment immediately because it must still be found out if her husband’s impotency is continuous and incurable. Besides, the prescriptive period for the filing of annulment on the ground of impotency is five years after the marriage.
5.
TRUE.
