One of the more popular posts in this Forum is Annulment, Divorce and Legal Separation in the Philippines: Questions and Answers. It’s time we collate other common issues relating to this topic. When we speak of the “annulment process”, we’re using it in a general sense to include both a petition for annulment and a petition for declaration of nullity (the difference between the two was already discussed in Part I).
Should I seek an annulment?
This is a personal decision that should not be taken lightly. While divorce is not allowed in the Philippines, the fact that the law provides for annulment means that there are meritorious instances that would justify the annulment of marriage.
What specifically is the role of the Solicitor General in the process of annulment? Is it true that the SolGen is often the source of delay?
The Solicitor General is authorized to intervene and take part in the proceedings for annulment and declaration of nullity of marriages before the RTC and on appeal to higher courts.The Solicitor General is the principal law officer and legal defender of the land. His intervention in the proceedings ensures that the interest of the State is represented and protected in proceedings for annulment and declaration of nullity of marriages by preventing collusion between the parties, or the fabrication or suppression of evidence. This is the express pronouncement of the Supreme Court. The SolGen may or may not appeal an annulment decision, and such decision is within its authority. In other words, it’s not true, and unfair to say, that the SolGen is the cause of delay.
How long does an annulment process usually take?
The entire process could take less than a year or, if you’re unfortunate, years. There are so many factors that could delay the proceedings. You and your lawyer must be vigilant in making sure that the proceedings go smoothly.
How much does it usually cost?
This is a difficult question, primarily because there are so many variations. If you have absolutely limited resources, you could file the petition as a pauper litigant (for filing fees) and seek free legal aid (discussed below). If you engage the services of a private lawyer, the entire process may cost you at least a Hundred Thousand Pesos (PhP100,000).
I have a limited amount of money. Where can I seek legal aid?
There are certain institutions where you could seek free legal assistance. Start with the Public Attorney’s Office (PAO), although they may or may not accept your case, depending on their load (they’re usually overloaded with cases). The Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP) and certain law schools, provide free legal aid. Remember, however, that your request may be denied because there are other important cases handled by these institutions.
How can I verify if my lawyer really filed the petition in court or if a decision was really issued? Can I obtain a copy of the decision?
You may ask your lawyer to provide you with a copy of all documents (motions, pleadings, orders, decisions, etc.) relating to your case. The photocopying cost, of course, will be charged to you. In any case, you could always request to photocopy the record with the court where the petition was filed.
If there’s already a decision annulling my marriage, but the decision is appealed by the Office of the Solicitor General, is it ok to remarry?
No. Unless and until the decision in your favor becomes final and executory (no motion for reconsideration or appeal was filed) and the other requisites have been complied with, you can’t remarry.
If you can’t find the answers here, please refer to Part I, Part III, Part IV, Part V, or other related posts. You can check the Related Posts at the bottom of each post. You can also use the Search function (also in the right sidebar).
Hi Sir:
I just want to ask if there’s already a jurisprudence of Supreme Court taking the definition of pyschologically incapacitated, because according to some of the speakers from different forum that there’s already a Supreme Court definition of psychologically incapacitated… if there’s one what particular case or cases would it be?
because i’m also hearing some speakers telling us that there’s no exact definition for pyschologicall incapacity
Thanks and more power =)

Psych incapacity is case to case basis. There are guidelines set down by Republic v. CA (Molina doctrine) and Santos doctrine. However, it is to note that it depends on the circumstances available.
Pax, I won’t consider it as a definition, but more of a characterization. There’s no exact definition of psychological incapacity.

Hi sir im looking for lawyer me and my friend planning to file annulment here my number 09096739366
Hi Sir,
I am married for seven years now and have two kids. 6 and 1 year old. If me and my wife have agreed to file for an annulment due to irreconcilable differences which our problems have reached the barangay’s attention and the police abroad as well, will there be a chance for annulling our marriage? especially emotional and physical abuse is involved? will psychological incapacity be a strong ground for this?
Thanks and kind regards
atty,
my wife will be filing an annulment and will be using the pyschological incapacitated against me..pero nag usap narin kami regarding this matter sabi nya eto na raw ang pinaka mabilis na process ng annulment..my questions are; can i still get marry? coz i heard kung sino lang ang nag file ng annulment sya lang ang pwedeng magpakasal at akong pinalabas na masama just to have an annulment sa marriage namin eh wala nang chance makapagpakasal?at meron pa bang akong karapatan sa mga kids namin?
thanks
Good day sir
Tanong ko lang po may ground po ba para sa annulment. Kung finake lang ang marriage certificate para sa requirements sana ng issurance company. Pero nairegister pala ng agent ang fake marriage. Walang naganap na ceremony. Kumuha lang ng form tapos doon kami pina sign at siya na ang naglakad. Until recently we found out that its registered to nsa. Thank you po in advance.
Marvinfg, I’m sorry I could not address your concerns because I don’t know all the facts and, more importantly, we’re prohibited from giving any legal advice. May I suggest that you read the other related articles in this site. Better still, discuss the grounds with your retained lawyer.
Ilongranger, please note that collusion among the spouses is prohibited in annulment proceedings, and it’s the duty of the public prosecutor to determine that there’s none. There’s a debate on whether a person declared psychologically incapacitated should be allowed to remarry. For those in the affirmative, the reason is the assumption that people change and giving that person a second chance. Those in the negative argue that psychological incapacity is incurable, which means that the person should not be allowed to remarry. As the law stands today, however, even those declared as pscyhologically incapacitated can still remarry.
Good afternoon atty

Karen,
Petitions for annulment between Filipinos, or those initiated by the Filipino spouse (in a marriage between a Filipino and a foreigner) may only be filed here in the Philippines. Good luck and God bless.

Hi Atty,
Im an OFW and and would like to seek for my marriage to be annuled. Me and my husband has been separated for over two years now and he has got a daughter with the other woman. We got married in Marinduque and he is an American living in Kuwait. From my understanding, a Filipino living abroad can file the petition as ïn absencia”. Now, would I have to file the petition where we got married or can I file it in a family court in Manila/Cavite?
Half of the time I stay with my parents in Marinduque and half of it, I stay in Cavite.
Best regards,
Pamela

Hello atty. I am presently working as a call center agent. And my husband does not have work. Actually, even before that he has work, it does not make sense since “his money, is his money”. Even when he tried to give me money for expense, I am not accepting it, since when I accept it, I will be paying all his debts, which is much more that what he is about to give me. Anyway, I would like to file marriage annulment. Not only for economical violence (not having work) but because of physical and psychological violence. There are a lot of things that I would like to know since filing annulment is very expensive. First, how long would it take for this process? And secondly, how much? I heard the psychologist examination would cost 30k…ouch. How about if I do not have that money at hand? (I am a bread winner, living with my parents and brother and sister. My parents are just vendor of candle and and brother and sister are still both studying)I cannot afford that kind of consultation. Do you know anymore who would charge me much more lower than 30k? I am asking for assistance too at Public Attorney’s Office, but still the atty told me that the psychological consultation is not free. It is still 30k. Aside from the doctor’s fee, what other expense would I need to pay? Can I pay it in installment if ever? Do I have to pay for my husband’s psychological exacm since he does not have work? Thanks for any assistance you may give.
Pamela,
We’re planning to write an article related to your post, so please drop by from time to time. Thanks.
Edward,
We have come across so many cases where the parties were really not serious in getting into the marriage…but got stuck because the act of getting married has serioous legal repercussions that can’t be made to go away with a snap of a finger. Getting in is cheaper…getting out is definitely not. There are several posts to the effect that even if a marriage is null and void from the very beginning, a petition MUST be filed in court to declare its nullity. Good luck.
Optimistgirl,
Some of your questions are actually addressed by this post…so kindly scroll up. As to the rest of your questions, matters on fees are properly discussed privately with the lawyer that you’re going to retain, so we couldn’t discuss that here. Raise these matters during your initial discussion with your lawyer. Good luck and God bless.
Hi Atty. Fred,
First off, thank the heaven I found this site! I’ve been looking for someone who can help us with our situation. I recently found out that my fiancee has underwent more of a “doctored” civil wedding when she got pregnant 7 years ago. I still want to walk her down the isle but I’d like to clean the slate first, so to speak. Here are the facts: 1. Her ex-husband was only 17 when they were married but the copy of their contract was anti-dated showing him as 18(married a month before his 18th bday, anti-dated a month after his 18th birthday) in the contract and the place was different as well as the residing fiscal. 2. Only weeks after the marriage, she decided to go back to her parents because she found out she cant raise her son that well around her inlaws and the irresponsibility of the husband. 3. They have had no communication since then until recently when their son got a first honor medal at school. He now has a life of his own (ex-husband) and is also wanting to have everything cleared. How should we go about this matter without further inflicting any damage to any parties? Is a petition for nullity an option for us? We don’t know yet if the marriage was registered in NSO but I’ve already requested a copy of CENOMAR from them. If she’s cleared, is it lawful proof enough that she can marry me? Please Advise. Thank you so much in advance.
Hi Atty,
I have been separated for 4 years already. My husband is a drug addict and everything so everyone is telling me to file for anullment.
But the thing is, I am not mentally and emotionally capacitated to fight for an anullment in court. Not to mention the fact that I know it would benefit him more, you know, the remarrying thing.
Well, here’s my problem: I want to revert to using my maiden name. I want to drop his surname and use my maiden name in all my transactions. Is it legal? What should I do in order to have a reversion of name in my public documents (PRC, Philhealth, SSS, etc) I am also planning on applying for a passport. Can I apply under my maiden name while declaring that I am a married woman?
Please help. Thank you.
sir,

Hi atty fred. I am currentlly working abroad. My wife and I got separated 3 years ago. We got married on 2003 in her native province of batangas. After almost 2 years, she admitted that she wanted separation because of another man. My question is, can I file an annulment even if im here in dubai without the need to go in the philippines for hearing purposes?
Assalam Alaikum!
Good Day Atty!I was married then we separated although not legally. I then converted to Islam and was advised to remarry my wife and put in the contract that we would be performing Talaq after 1 month. Talaq is the divorce proceedings in Islam. Would this be upheld under Muslim Personal Laws? Please Advise. Thanks!

Greetings everyone, I can get legally divorced in a simple way within months.
Issue: How can I obtain legal divorce, as a Filipino, here in the Philippines with its present laws?
1. I can change my Christian religion to any religion at anytime because No less than Section 5 of the Bill of Rights of the 1987 Constitution declares, thus:
“Section 5. No law shall be made respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. The free exercise and enjoyment of religious profession and worship, without discrimination or preference, shall forever be allowed. No religious test shall be required for the exercise of civil or political rights.”
2. Since our marriage goes wrong, I can settle with my spouse on the prospect of divorce, its arrangements on our common properties together with custody our child or children.
3. For purposes of divorce, We or I, will convert my religion to Islam so that I can avail divorce as provided under Presidential Decree 1083, which only applies to all Muslim-Filipinos.
4. Under PD 1083, we have 7 grounds for divorce to choose from depending on the situation.
5. After converting, We will Petition for Divorce in a Sharia’h Court pursuant to our settlement or arrangement on our children and properties.
6. Then it is done, WE ARE DIVORCED and we will then convert again to Christian for the purpose of marrying again.
Good day po!
Six years ago po, I met my husband. He is a foreigner. He knew someone who can process marriage license for us. I was 23 at that time. He paid that person, and we were given Marriage certificates and license which we signed. After just a few days, we received the registered copy of Marriage certificate. There was no ceremony. We just signed the contracts and waited a few days, and it was returned to us with stamp of registration in Registry Office. He did not present any Legal Capacity to Marry, or proof that he was a widower. After a few years, I checked in NSO, and my marriage was also registered there. My question is: in view of the circumstance of our marriage, Is our marriage valid or null?
GOOD DAY,
HI I HAVE A QUESTION TO MAKE,MY WIFE FILED A ANNULMENT OF MARRIAGE AGAINST ME,I DIDNT ATTEND ALL THE INSTANT CASES ON THE GROUND OF PSYCHOLOGICAL INCAPACITATED.SHE PRESENTED 2 WITNESSES THE PSYCHIATRIST AND OUR HOUSEHELP.

MY SECOND QUESTION IS MY WIFE AND ME DIDNT SUBMIT TO ANY PSYCHOLOGICAL TEST OR EVALUATIONS,YET THE PHSYCIATRIST WERE ABLE TO CONCLUDE AND SUBMIT A REPORT THAT I AM PSYCOLOGICAL INCAPACITATED.LASTLY,BEFORE THE STARTING OF OUR ANNULMENT PROCEEDINGS WE WERE CALLED TO ATTEND AN INVESTIGATION BY THE FISCAL TO FIND OUT IF THERE IS COLUSSION. I PERSONALLY ATTENDED THAT INVESTIGATION AND SAID THAT THESE CASE IS WITH OUR BOTH CONSENT OR WE AGREED ON THIS.YET IN THE REPORT OF THE FISCAL TO THE JUDGE IS THAT THERE IS NO COLLUSION.DURING THOSE INVESTIGATION MY WIFE AND I DIDNT PRESENT ANY EVIDENCE.THANK YOU

Good Day. I’m Lorenz 27 years of age. I’m married for 7 years. I was married to my wife when I was 20, she was 22 then. She became my girlfriend for 1 month, when she asks me to marry her. I was broken hearted then, after my previous girlfriend left me. I don’t love her, but I decided to marry her, also because of the convincing ability of her family, and she became my wife. Honestly speaking, during our civil wedding, I really want to back out, but my mother told me that it will be a big scandal, so I have no choice.
We have 2 kids now, 6 and 4 years old. From the start, and until now, I’m not happy with our marriage. She have no job, well it’s okay that I’m the only one looking for money because I’m the man, but she is so lazy in doing household chores, and she’s not taking care of me. There are many times that I want to leave her, but I’m thinking about our kids. Honestly, I have relationships with other girls just to find the happiness that I’m looking for. Now, I met a girl that I know, she’s the one I want to spend my whole life with. I want us to be married and be happy. I want to file an annulment and be free. Do you think I can win the case if ever my wife will accept the annulment?

hi Atty.
me and my husband we’re separated for more than 6 years now. di talaga kmi magkasundo dahil sa gulo na rin ng mga pamilya nya na laging nakikialam. at wala din syang sariling disposisyon laging nakikinig sa nanay nya. i want a peaceful life with my daughter. at lam kong di un mangyayri if hes not going to be mature enough to handle yung family namin so i decided to file a legal separation. is it possible to approve it even though he doesnt want to sign it? please ill wait for your reply.
thanks and God Bless!

Hi Attorney Good Evening!
I got married last year. Recently I have applied for my marriage certificate at NSO and NSO advised that they dont have record of my marriage. I am based abroad so I seek help to my parents to get a copy of my marriage certificate in city hall. City hall gave a “certified true copy of my marriage but the certificate given does not have any signature of myself, my husband and even the witnesses and the minister who solemnized our wedding.
I’m not sure what happened but what I want to know is that, if the certifcates does not contain any of our signatures, was the wedding I had last year valid or not?
My husband and I plans to buy a property and I dont know what we are going to do about it as We have not updated any of our particulars because of this issue.
Thanks in advance for your reply.
Hi Atty,
is it possible for the court to change their decision even after they have made the decision for the annulment?especially when the respondent claims that she/he have not recieve any summons from the court?does one have to seek help of lawyer to appeal on court or she/he could just write a letter to the court to prove that she/he doesnt recieve any letters from the court so that the court will withdraw the decision that has already been made..

Atty Fred,
Hello atty, i need your leagal assistance Ive been married for eight years and i have four children with her. Now im already here in Saudi. I want to file for annullment of marriage. Can you give some basis for my annulment. My wife has a very bad temper, she always making decision to the family, she will not listen to me. She always say bad things to me especially in front of our children, like for example when she angry, she spoke to my children that they will find another father to them. She always make verbally abuse to me. That im not a good husband, im not a good father and not a good provider to them. For eight years ive been patience to her, thinking that she will change soon and especially for the benefit of our children but enough is enough i cannot take it anymore. So i tell her i want a separation or annulment. When i told her that she burst again like a bomb. I cannot bear again the difficulty of living with her. My second question is, it is posible that if i file an annulment and not appear to the court bcoz im here in saudi working. Do you think it will proceed? Hoping for your helpful response to my problem. Thanks and regards.

Dear Sir/Ma’am:
I am a Filipina woman who has been separated for 18 months, but not legally separated. I have been Civil married to an
Australian man last 2007 here in the Philippines and then married again in church here in the Philippines
last 2008. Can I file a divorce abroad even if the marriage took place here in the Philippines?
Looking forward to your reply.
Sir,
I would like to seek NULLITY of Marriage. I’m hoping you will give me brilliant advise on my case, as you always do to most people here seeking the same.
We were married in a church mass wedding after 5 years of living together,officiated by our High Ranking Officer, whom he has power to officiate a wedding. I belong to the AFP. Since, we have been living together for 5yrs., there were almost no pre-requisites needed from us, neither C.I conducted from our Superiors for my wife to be, which is a common procedure to where I belong.
I would like to state shorty & briefly my case. I gathered her CENOMAR from NSO. It appeared there that my wife has 2 marriages. She has a previous marriage. This I never knew. She also has children from 3 different men, unfortunately I happen to learn only when One by one of her children appeared at our door year after year. Before we live together, she never told me she has previous marriage, or at least never entered into any marriage with any man before me.
When her first child appeared, I asked her many times the whereabouts of the father, but she always tells me that the man had died already. Whenever I ask her when did he died, she can’t even give me any date, when I ask her how come she knows that this man has passed away already, she only told me her parents said so.
Back to the CENOMAR. After I got a copy of that from NSO, i requested a copy of their marriage contract too. There appeared the name of the man she married first and the date, and it was stated there that the man was a widow.
Now, what if her first husband was indeed dead already when we celebrated our marriage, does that mean that my chances of filing a NULLITY OF MARRIAGE be in vain?
Let me add too, that I had tried to request a copy for a record of any DEATH CERTIFICATE from NSO, but there was no record found with that name and birthday. But I have second thoughts too, that maybe the man was already dead, considering that when they got married with my wife in 1992 he was 72yrs. old already, and by the time we celebrated our marriage with my wife, that was year 2000, chances are he could have passed away already.
I’m really confused. DO I still have any chances on getting a Declaration On Nullity Of Marriage?
Thank You very much
hello po atty.
ba;lak ko po imuwi ng pilipinas para mag file ng annulment sa asawa ko. pwede ba ako mag file kahit na sa saudi sya? paano po yun gagawin?
thank you
Dear Atty. Fred,
I had a big problem that I am bearing for almost 4 years. I was secretly married to my previous boyfriend way way back 2005 when I was still 17. We went to Manila Ciy hall, but since I was only 17 there was no ceremony ever happenned and there was no parental consent at all however the said Atty. Bagsik let us sign marriage papers which I really do not have any idea at la.. They said that they’ll process the marriage after I turned 18. We never live together after the secret marriage just enjoying being boyfriend and girlfrined however due to several differences and several figts I fall out of love and broke up with him. My ex boyfriend even use the papers just to frighten me. He said if I will leave him then he will tell my parents and my relatives about it. I cannot quit easily because I do not want to let my parents know about the mistake I did. I am not yet ready for marriage due to the fact that I love to finish my study and I do not have someone to seek advise with on what I have to do until I found this site today. I am now working in a Call center company and my ex boyfriend went to Iloilo to move on. He even had a son with his wife which he said he married in Iloilo city hall. His son was turning two. I am still single as in no child yet and I do not have a partner though I had a boyfried after him.
I want to know what courses of actuion do I need to do. Can I file an annulment case? I am confused which ground will it be under. I am thinking that it will be under lack of parental concern. Am I right with that Atty.?
Hi Atty.:
There is something that is bothering me recently. My marriage with my ex husband has already been annulled more than a month ago. He was the one who filed the annulment and now he’s asking me the whole amount of fee he paid for the annulment which i really can’t afford. Now he is threatening to file adultery charges until i pay him the sum he is asking. Can he still file adultery charges now that our marriage has already been null and void?
My kids who are in ages 10 and 5 are with him. He filed for custody but the decision of the court did not come out with the annulment decision. Can I still file for custody?
Please enlighten me with this subject. Thank you very much.

hi atty! i have a question regarding my case. I am married to a japanese last january 2009, it is actually an arranged marriage for me to get a japan visa. My husband is my sister’s boyfriend that time who just want to help me work in japan. I am wondering if ever we get divorced in japan is it automatic that we will be annulled here in the phil as well? if not what processes should i undergo? am i going to undergo the annulment process as well. we are married here in the phil. i want to clean my name like being single again. i lost my passport last year and would like to get a new one and wants to use my last name when i was still single. thanks!
hello atty., i would just like to ask if my friend can file annulment..their case is that they keep on fighting even just on small things..ever since they were still girlfriend-boyfriend they keep on fighting..the guy is always the one who give up on their fight..when his girlfriend got pregnant on their first child, he asked her for marriage but the girl refused but when the girl had his 3rd child she was already the one who asked him to marry her because she’s thinking of what others might say about her that they are not yet married..during that time he is no longer willing to marry her but still he married her just last year..he also have doubts because when they were still in college the girl got back with his ex-boyfriend without breaking up with him..the girl even gave him up & chose her ex-boyfriend..when he tried to forget the girl, the girl was already the one who looked for him that’s why they got back together..the issue now is that since they got back until they got married and even until now the set up is that the girl is staying with her mom at their province and he is staying here in the city at their ancestral house..the girl is working in their province 8am-5pm and he is assigned here in the city with shifting schedule..he keeps on asking his wife if she could adjust to his schedule because her schedule is fixed but the wife refused..he just visit them during his day off which happens only thrice a month..he complained that he can’t rest well on the house of his wife because they have videoke at the front yard which is owned by her older brother..they rented a house near his wife’s place but the next time he went home her wife together with the kids went back to her mom’s house..he didn’t surrender asking his wife to transfer here in the city until she decided to move here because she’s already getting her transfer credentials done..but..the problem again is that her wife keeps on going back to their province because according to her she doesn’t like to live together with his siblings..he said that they will just rent a house here in the city but still the wife refused because they have already invested money renovating the ancestral house of my friend..there is an issue in the family that the reason why his parents chose to live on their farm because they doesn’t like his wife because of what she has done which i have mentioned earlier..his parents even didn’t attended their wedding because they don’t trust the girl already..when he tries to ask his wife what is the reason why she did it to him, his wife just cries and until now his question wasn’t been answered properly..his wife admitted that the main reason why she wanted to stay at their province because her mom misses the kids..but what about him? it was his children that is being kept away from him..his wife even gets mad when he goes to the gym or bike..she doesn’t want him to do some recreational activities..we just keep on advising him to understand his wife but even us his girl friends cannot really understand his wife..if i were on his situation and my husband is like that i will really leave him, i don’t want someone to tell me what to do with my life..recently, he is saddened by their situation that it is always his wife who gets what she want about their family life, he don’t have a say..he started to ask me about annulment but i know nothing about it..i am surfing the net now and found your link that’s why i remembered him and wrote you this..please advise so that i can also advise him..thank you and more powers

Hi i just want to ask for a legal advice about my marriage..
my marriage was solemnized under the article 34 stated that no license is necessary when a couple living together for atleast 5 years,
which is not applicable to us, the date of the marriage was November 19,2002..which means that we started living together since 1997 which is not true coz during those times i was still in davao and never been in manila,and i know him in year 2000 so how did we live together as husband and wife for atleast 5 years..and 2nd there is no really marriage ceremony happen on the place that was stated on the marriage certificate,we signed an application at home in tondo but in the marriage certificate the location was in San juan metro manila, i read an article that the pre-requisite before marriage stated that you must have not less than 2 witnesses but we have 1 witness ..my question is if can i filed a petition for the declaration of absolute nullity of void marriages with those grounds.And if ever i filed a petition where should i file it?
Thank you so much and i hope to hear an advice from you.

sir good day to you. i am a seaman and just recently when i got home from the ship my wife confessed to me that she has a relationship with another man who is also married. the wife of this man filed charges against them, the first one is concubinage and the second one was psychological violence. sir i would like to seek annulment of my marriage, are these reasons valid sir?
thanks and more power 🙂
“Petitions for annulment between Filipinos, or those initiated by the Filipino spouse (in a marriage between a Filipino and a foreigner) may only be filed here in the Philippines.”
Is this like the divorce, means annulment can be filed by the foreign spouse in any country. And once granted by the court…..can the Filipino spouse remarry or does the Filipino spouse need to file a petition for recognition of annulment decree also? Is it the same process & procedure with Divorce?
why can’t Filipino spouse file annulment outside the Phils, does it have something to do with the difference in laws and culture of countries i.e. UAE
Hi,
I am from the UK. Have a Filipina girlfriend who is married.
She married 20 years ago and gave birth to a daughter. Her husband left shortly after to go to the US.
3 years later he returned and asked for another chance which she agreed. She became pregnant and again he left for the US. Apparently he also went thru a marriage ceremony in the US.
He has since returned to the Philippines and has a new partner and children.
I will be joining my girlfriend shortly and would like to begin annulment. Could you please tell me the cost of the annulment and time. I read from your comments it could cost as little as 50k and could take one year or more.
Many thanks for any help.

I left my husband in the province together with our only child almost 4 years ago. And now i received a petition fromhim for an annullment. I just want to know what will happen if i dont answer his petition or sign any documents will our marriage will be annulled or not? For me i dont agree to have our annullment that is why i dont have any plans to answer or sign any petitions due to i dont have enough budget to have a lawyer. That is why now i am worried if i wll not be able to answer them does it have the chance especially to my husband to finally have the annullment approved. Please atty help me…
My wife and I are not living together for around 5 yrs now.
Im still supporting her and my duaghter financially.
I want an annulment but shes deny it, saying she dont want me toget married again out of anger.
We already decided to separate for years now but shes still holding a grudge for leaving her.

Hi Atty.
I requested from NSO a copy of marriage contract and was surprised na annulled na marriage ko annotated on the right side. Wala po ako pinirmahan in short mukhang binayaran lang nya ito. Ok na po un sa akin na ma-annulled kmi. Ang problem ko wala po ako copy ng rtc effecting the annulment para mabago ko sana un name ko sa passport (ma revert at maibalik un dati ko surname. Upon checking rtc cotabato wala po silang record ng annullment at nag issue po sila ng certificate sa akin not exist o wala po na file na annulment. Sa baba po ng cert. naka furnished copy un supreme court at nso. My question is mababago ba un status ko ulit? From single to married? Please help me! I’m confused. Thank you very much in advance. God bless you!

Good day Atty Fred,
I would like to inquire, if the marriage consent form wasnt signed by our parents but was forged, is the marriage still considered legal?
gud eve, Atty Fred, my wife and I were separated (not legally) for almost 8 years. I have 2 kids. From time to time I visted them and give support to my kids, although most of the monry my wife is the using and buying things for her personal use like make-up, etc. I was also in jail for three years and the case filed was RAPE though it was dismissed.I was accused because my wife had done things and put me in sucj predicament. Luckily, I was found not guilty. After I got out of jail, I didn’t go back to her anymore.
My question is : how can I file annulment? on what grounds? can I use the case filed against me because of her “kagagawan”?
Please help, thnaks u very much- Jerome

Hi Atty.
Hi Atty.
I’m a seaman and unfortunately I got married to unfaithful woman. We got married last April 2008 and got a son. On Year 2010 while im on board, my family told me that my wife was having an affair to another man. When I finished my contract on 2010 and went back home I found out that my wife was left and went to Australia with his Australian chatmate bringing our son. It’s been 5 years since she left and I found out that she have already a daughter with his Aussie chatmate and I am also now in a relationship with another woman. My question is, is there any possibilities that our marriage will be null and void if my wife will not come back anymore because she already got her permanent resident/ citizenship in Australia now?
Sir, gusto lo lang po itanong kung ang typepographical error s marriage contract is ground for nullification, narinig ko po kasi before s isang celebrity atty na any error is ground such as wrong date, name..etc.. ganun din po b ang pagdadaan..less b ang bayad s abogado, paano po yung mga pagaari nyong dalawa within marriage, hati po b kahit ang bumli ng ari arian ay halimbawa ay public vehicle ay magulang ng babae.. saan po ako pwedeng mag inquire, can you refer to a legal counsel.. thanks

Good evening! I’d like to ask whether there is a chance for my marriage to be annulled. I had civil wedding last April 2010. I was 22 and my partner was 24 way back then. We were asked to have a parental advice. My husband was able to secure one from his mom because his father is already deceased and we were able to show a death certification. On my part, my mom and dad got separated but not legally. It was hard to obtain my father’s parental advice since he’s abroad at that time but we didn’t lose touch with him. In order to get a marriage license, we instead had a affidavit that stated that we didn’t have any form of communication with my father for more than five years and so my mother’s parental advice was just enough. But it was a lie. Through that, we were able to have a marriage license and got married in the municipal hall. I wonder if there is greater chance for us to be easily annulled.

Good evening, Sir.
My husband & I were already separated over 2 years now. We married on 2005. And separated on 2014 because of misunderstanding. We have 3 kids and they are with me. I am a single parent. For 2 years of separation, my husband didn’t give any financial support. We have no communications already. I want an annulment. What are the things that I need to do so that I can get financial support from him? I’m planning to file an annulment, too.
Thank you and more power.
atty,
gusto ko lng po ask kung possible po b ang anullment tpos no appearance.
gusto ko po magpa annull and malipat yung apelyido ng anak ko saken.
I want to file a car loan and recently have an annulment case filed in court. Will it be considered as conjugal property between me and my husband once my marriage approved the annulment?
Hi atty, I’m 36 years old , have 2 kids but both of us have one which was not ours and in the first place were not married to the first one. And Me and my husband were married legally and still living together for almost 11 years. But most of the time we quarrel because of a small things which is not right to say abussive words to me and sometime he threatened to hit me… What is the best thing to do to give me a peace of mind? And before he hit our own son because he think na madidisiplina ang anak namin sa palo. But sometimes he is ok maayos mag isip pero pag galit sobra naman… I don’t think na may pagkukulang ako or what. Many times happened before pa na nag aaway kami kahit sa maliit na bagay lang… What should be the best solution atty.? I am so confuse kase may time mabait sya…
Hi atty, I was married with a korean for 10 years, civil wedding po. Pero he suddenly left us, he said goodbye thru phone lang po last nov 3 2016. Nalulong kc sya sa casino, and nung umalis sya nagiwan din sya ng malaking utang. Wala na akong kontak sa kanya,even his parents in korea said they dont have any news about him. Paano po ako magpafile ng annulment kung hindi ko alam kung nasaan cya.
And meron po kaming isang 5 yo na daughter. nung umalis sya, he left nothing kahit piso, wala. Even his parents said wla silang pang support para sa amin.

Kasal po ako sa asawa ko since June 28, 2013, kaya lang po hindi ako matanggap ng buong angkan nya, dahil may nauna syang partner at may anak pa po cla pero hindi kasal. Ano pong maganda kong gawin para makaalis po sa kasal na ito. Dahil hindi rin po ako makapamuhay ng maayos at masaya, ayoko rin pong magkaanak sa asawa ko dahil madalas din po kami kung magaway. Gustong gusto ko na po sya ibalik sa pamilya nya para maging maayos na rin ang buhay ko. Pero wala naman po akong sapat na pera para ipawalang bisa ang aming kasal. Yung pamilya ko nagagalit narin sa akin dahil nagdala lang daw ako ng problema sa bahay namin. Hindi nya ko kayang buhayin sa bahay ng magulang ko kami nakasiksik, ako ang bumubuhay sa sarili ko. Ano po ba maipapayo nyo sa akin para maibalik ko po ang asawa ko sa pamilya nya at dating kinakasama. Dahil kahit po ngayon ung una nya kinakasama e ginugulo ako. Mapayuhan po sana ninyo ako, para matapos na po yung sakit ko sa ulo. Salamat po
Hi Attorney,
I was separated from my husband for over 4yrs now. No financial support and all. Since I am employed, he is my beneficiary. I wanna know how can I waive his rights to be my beneficiary?
Good day. My husband and I got separated for about 4 years since 2013 because of his maltreatment and physically/emotionally abusive acts in Bislig City. I and my kids transferred already here in Bayugan and we left our conjugal dwelling there. Our kids have been in my custody and I really want to file an annulment against him. The problem I got is that when I was about to go to a lawyer, the atty told me to secure first our NSO marriage contract but we don’t have any NSO marriage contract to give to the said atty. I was really dismayed and all I can give is our LCR marriage contract only. The atty didn’t allow that LCR paper. The LCR in charge told me to have an electronic endorsement for our papers submitted directly to Manila. I hesitated then to have that endorsement since in my CENOMAR; it states there that I am single. No one takes that risk of forwarding that papers due to lack of my time and since we are already separated. I do want to be single again such that I want have clarity in signing civil status of every paper and aiming to have a peaceful lifestyle. Can it still be valid to file an annulment even if LCR marriage contract is only the one to be presented and not that NSO copy? How can i finally resolve to gain our conjugal dwelling? Can I not declare myself as a separated one due to the fact that we are not even registered in the National Indices of Marriage? I haven’t file a criminal case with his acts but only has blotter entries and medical certificates. Is it still useful and time-saving to file a case to make the annulment easier to process? I need your advice on these. Please feedback on any possible actions I can take. Thank you and more power. Your time and response are surely to be appreciated.

good day!
kinasal ako s isang korean year 2008. after 3months nagpunta ako s korea pero 10araw lang ako nag stay duon. the marriage didnt work out well so the only way is to file a separation in korea since we got married in the philippines pero ilang araw lang umuwi n ako pinas.so wala n ako balita. after leaving korea, wala na ako balita at kahit contacts o cummunication at all s kanya o kahit n s friends or relatives nia.
sooner or later in the future xmpre meron akong mamahalin at handa ako pakasalan pero pano kung kasal pa ako. they suggested na ipa annul nga daw ang kasal. its been 9 years since we never had any communication. no sms, call and even in social media..
i am hoping that u could help me regarding this matter.
Hello po,
Gusto ko lang poh hingi ng advice sa inyo sir. Tungkol sa problema ko. Ito kasi kinasal ako ng sapilitan ng pamilya ko dahil naka buntis ako noon. Sa una pa lang ng pagsama namin wala ako pagmamahal naramdaman. Dumating sa punto na lagi ako naglalayas dahil nga natali ako sa isang sitwasyon na hindi ko ginusto.
Matagal na kami naghiwalay may kanya-kanya na kami buhay. Kahit hiwalay kami hindi ko pinabayaan ang anak namin, lagi ko parin sinusupurtahan hanggang ngayon.
Tanong ko lang pwedi ba ako ma annulled kung ang rason ko lang ay hindi ko mahal ang asawa ko at na pilit lang ako magpakasal sa asawa ko?
Hi Atty! I am married for 13 years. But since the birth of our child, I haven’t seen my husband. I found out that he had previous marriage and used a different name although the same surname in our marriage certificate. Our son uses his surname. I want it changed. I want to know as well if the marriage is void. What less costly process can I undertake? I’m like a single mom receiving no support. Please advise.

Hi Atty! Good day! I hope i can get some advices from you.
Me and my husband are now separated for more than one year. I was married at the aged of 21 yrs old because i got pregnant with my first baby and now we do have 2 child. At the time that I got pregnant of my first child, i really do not want to be married. My aunt who wants me to marry because that im pregnant, i said NO but she push me to marry even though i said NO again and im crying because of i dont want to. My aunt believes that time, that my husband could work as a seaman so she said that i should secure my future for my child, and she said that my child will not bear the surname of the father if will not get married. But, it is allowed that my child can bear her fathers surname even without marriage. So now, were separated because i see that i have no future with him coz he had no effort to do so. For how many times we had fight, we misunderstand each other now. I push him to go abroad or to look for another secured job but he had no effort at all. I encouraged him everyday but i see that he doesnt want to. Then, my son was admitted to the hospital because of pheumonia after we billed out and doesnt care that im struggling to all the debts including hospital bill. So i made a mistakes that i did not push my decisions that i want not to marry him. Please help atty if could file an annulment. I did gave him manu chances. So now i will made my decisions now that i want to.
Hello Attorney,
Na release po ang court order stating ang marriage ko Null and Void last July 2017. And then my motion for reconsuderation..naghearing.. and then now at present..sabi na forward na ang papers lahat sa Cagayan de Oro … kasi doon yata ang Office ng Solicitors General.na nag apila sa court decision…
Ngayon 2018 na…
Ilang years ang hihintayin pa nyan bago lumabas ang Finality Certificate?..
wala bang timeline ang cases sa Pinas?
Wala bang action na mapabilis ang paglabas ng Finality?
Ilang beses ba mag aapila ang Solicitors General sa decision bago lumabas ang finality?..
Looking forward to your answer
Hi Atty, under the approved house bill on divorce in the Philippines , I would like to know if I am qualified to file under my current case, to wit:
Premisses:
1. We were married in 2000 in the Church and have 3 children.
2. She went to Europe in 2004 with our two children, her whole family( parents, brothers and sisters), and have applied there as Permanent Resident.
4. I often visited them there in Europe every year from 2004 to 2007 and we evening bore a the thirteen Child in 2004, and 2007 was my last visit because she did not wanted my visa to be renewed.
5. She coohabited and bore a Child in 2010 in Europe.
6. Eversince, she does not want to come home to the Philippines for our marital reunion.
QUESTION:
1) given the above circumstances, can I be qualified to file for divorce?
2) despite both parties advice that she come home for peace talk although she have already another Child from Other man, can I use this ground as another aggravating evidence for annulment?
Thanks Atty and hoping for your answer.

• 3 to 4 months later after the wedding we got separated
• around 2012 I asked for CENOMAR and I found out I was still single and the marriage has not been registered
• then 2014, I requested another CENOMAR then it was stated there that I am a married person already
• now it is 10 years that I am separated from my husband and he has 2 children already with his live-in partner and I do not have any kids from him either
• my official documents like passport and ID’s are still single status and I am still using the surname of my father because the registration of my marriage was delayed for few years
• now, I want to get out from the marriage, what should be the process for my case?
• is there any decent lawyer that can help me to resolve my case?
• how much does it cost? I hope it will be cheaper than usual charges
•how long will it takes to get things done?
•does it takes time same as the common annulment case?
•please if any of you has fair advice and help, I am asking for your help
•to be honest, I am quite frustrated already because I wanted to get out from my marriage license thing and moved on with my life!
For those who are suffering like me, I feel you! We hope that these agonies of ours will be resolved as soon as possible.

Hello ATTY.,
Had paid 100K to my lawyer and she filed my annulment case in the province where I was born.
On my pretrial hearing I mentioned that I am residing in Manila where my work is. And my case was dismissed. Reason I am no longer residing in the province where I filed my annulment case(where I was born). How much time will my lawyer will fill motion for reconsideration? will I need to pay for that? It seems that my lawyer is not filing a motion for reconsideration. no updates. Can I get my refund? How much?
