Taong 2014 nang ideklara ng korte na "null and void" ang kasal ng couple.
Noong 2017, naglabas ng desisyon ang Court of Appeals na nagsabing walang sapat na ebidensiya para ipawalang-bisa ang kasal nina Jodi at Pampi.

Noong June 9, 2024, ipinaalam ni Jodi sa kanyang Instagram followers na tapos na ang 13 taong paghihintay niya para mapawalang-bisa ang kasal nila ni Pampi.
Sa kanyang post, binalikan ng aktres ang hirap na kanyang pinagdaanan sa mga taong nagdaan upang mapasapinal ang annulment nila ng dating asawa.
Bahagi ng post ni Jodi: "Finally after 13 years of waiting, my petition for nullity of marriage has been granted by the Supreme Court.
"It was indeed a test of faith and trust -- FAITH in God’s promises and TRUST in God’s timing.
"The time I spent in His waiting room was never easy nor was it comfortable. It was frustrating, discouraging, and even heartbreaking.
"I cried, prayed, questioned and complained. I made 'tampo,' asked for forgiveness, prayed some more. I wanted to give up but He never let go of me."
Dahil pinal nang pinayagan ng korte ang pag-nullify sa kanilang kasal, maari na muli siyang magpakasal sa iba at gayundin si Pampi.
