He's an american man and we're married in the philippines (where i lived). He continued to support this girl and telling her "i love you, i miss you", sending her flowers , money etc. I can't afford anymore being dumped and being bullshit, and i would like to know if my case is possible for a ANNULMENT?. Please help me or answer my question, this is so important to me, i don't want to be stack forever to my husband who don't love me anymore, i just want him to go and make him and that girl that he's in love with be happy. So i want an annulment if it's possible? I'll be waiting for an answer. Coz if i can't Annul or Divorce our marriage, i might end up killing my self. Thank you. Hello Sir!

Issuance of Decree of annulment. The court issues the Decree after: (i) registration of the entry of judgment granting the annulment in the Civil Registry where the marriage was celebrated and in the Civil Registry of the place where the court is located; (ii) registration of the approved partition and distribution of the properties of the spouses in the proper Register of Deeds where the real properties are located; and (iii) delivery of the children’s presumptive legitimes in cash, property, or sound securities. 11. Registration of the Decree. The Decree must be registered in the Civil Registry where the marriage was registered, the Civil Registry of the place where the court is situated, and in the National Census and Statistics Office. Atty.Fred, regarding section 11., Who will be in charge of the registrations? Will the CLIENT need to go to the said Civil Registries to take care of the registrations? If yes,would there still be additional charges for these registrations? as far as i know, the NSO charges around 200 pesos for a marriage certificate and not more than a thousand...How about the registrations of the decree in the Civil Registries, do they charge additional fees for it? 10.

Nais ko lang po sanang humingi ng legal advice regarding sa sitwasyon ng kinikilala kong asawa. Actually, nalaman ko lang po ang tunay nyang katayuang sibil 2 years ago. we live together for 5 years now but as live in partner, meron na rin kaming anak(1). 3 taon nya inilihim sa akin ang katotohanang sya ay kasal na. Base po sa kwento nya, it was a secret marriage and their oth 25 years old then. But since they got married on 1999, hindi po sila nagsama bilang husband and wife sa iisang bubong at hindi rin po sila nagkaanak. And within the year na kasal sila, nagkaroon po sila ng problem, kung saan involved ang pamilya ng babae. Until they ended their relation. Pinaghatiaan na rin nila ang kanilang konting naimpundar noon. Pero hindi po sila dumaan sa legal na proseso sa kanilang paghihiwalay. at sa loob ng mahigit 7 taon wala silang komunikasyon. Itong taon lang po sila muling nagkausap thru phone, para ayusin ang kaso ukol sa sitwasyon nila at mailapat ang kaukulang batas na makakapagpalaya sa kinikilala kong asawa mula sa kasal nya sa legal nyang asawa, dahil na rin po sa kahilingan ko at ng relihiyon na kinaaniban namin ngayon sapagkat pinagbabawal po dito ang live-in. Na pinagpasyahan na rin po naming magpakasal ngaunit dahil nga po problemang ito kaya di po natuloy. Isa rin po sa nais kong malaman yung ukol sa batas regarding sa abandonment of marriage na kapag ang mag-asawa ay 7 taong walang komunikasyon, sinuman sa kanila ay pwede na ulit magpakasal sa iba.Meron po ba ito, exsisting ba ito? In case na meron po, ano ang dapat namin/nyang gawin? At paano? Or else, Suitable po ba ang annulment sa kaso nila o yung declaration of nullity of marriage ang dapat? atnais ko rin po sanang itanong kung saan sya(ang kinikilala kong asawa) makakalapit na humahawak ng ganitong kaso para sa mga "low-badget client"? Hanggang dito na lang.umaasa po ako at hihintayin ko po ang inyong kasagutan at payo? maraming salamat po! God bless! Good day!

Both me and my wife are ofws and we live in the same house but we don't talk anymore. Is it possible for me to file a petition for annulment while both of us are still abroad and living in the same apartment? We only live under the same roof because of financial problems and the situation abroad but we don't observe each others' obligations anymore. I want to file a petition, but I cannot go home as yet. PLease tell me if it is possible and how I can do that even while I am still abroad. Thank you. Your website is very informative, more power to u. Hi Attorney.
