Technically this is good for your friend, because if she is not looking for any compensation and she has been able to support the kid for this long, then she should be free to find a new husband. From what I know, if you were not maid in Phils, then you are technically single. Also, if you have not been in touch with your husband for more than 7 years, I think Phils have a law that your marriage is null. I hope your friend learned a lesson and she should focus on her kid and finding a good husband.
