EN: to get divorced
Ito 'yung official 'break na tayo' ng mga mag-asawa, with matching lawyers at paperwork. 'Yung hindi na sapat ang 'cool off' at kailangan na talaga ng legal separation. Sa Pilipinas, wala pa nito, so annulment ang mas common na term, pero ito 'yung goal ng maraming advocacy groups.
From Spanish 'divorcio' (divorce).
