how much will do you usually spend if you have your marriage annulled? What if you don't have a lawyer and you don't want to have a lawyer anymore since you never really cohabitated with the husband. You just got married in paper and went your separate ways..you don't even know where he is now. DO you have to go through annulment for that?

my sis-in-law spent around 60k. including filing fees, lawyer fees and psychological fees.

my office mate here, spent almost the same... that is for civil annulments.

balita ko gagasta ka rin daw ng mga 50k sa church annulment eh.

ang fafa ungas is right. you need a lawyer to do that. its a civil proceeding, so you have to be legally represented.

your last question is yes... because you were legally married, with contracts and all. lalo na yan if the contracts were filed, then you need to do annulment for that...

Di naman, frustrated attorney lang po at your service. :bwahaha:

Ano nga ba tawag dun? May term dati yan, abogadong hilaw?

That's what you call delaying tactic and will help more attorneys. Each representation with or without hearing attorney fees are charged. :D

Seriously, you will have no other choice but to wait 10 years before filing your case. You will have to prove that you are not living together or seeing each other for the past 10 years or so. Which will be used against him or her in your defense.

wow! you know so much! i think the husband has imigrated to another country so tough luck huh? the last time they saw each other was like 5 years ago. no communication eversince.

kung may anak kayo at maliit pa sila isipin mo muna ng 100x kung gusto mo mag pa annul. IMO, yung mga anak ang nag suffer kapag may naghihiwalay. kawawa yung mga bata.

ang usual alibi is phsychological incapacity pero mahigpit na ngayon kelangan prove mo talaga na yung partner mo ay ganyan...hindi nya kayang gawin yung mga marital duties and responsibilities nya. Dito yung masasakit na parte sa buhay mo at masasakit na salita heheheh

tama sila pa annul mo yung civil tapos yung church din kung kasal kayo.

sa attorney's fees madugo yan kasi nga may appearance fee yan kung tuloy yung hering o na postpone bayad ka..

pag hindi ata ma locate yung partner mo o hindi sya makita dun sa last known address nya yung summon babalik ng nagdala at sasabihin sa judge na unserved pero tuloy pa din yung procedure.

OT: abogadong pang notarya... :D

[Ungas]

superpinay13::: Are you sure with your plans? You may have to think over it 10 times or more. Talk things over. I should know after having 17 wives and 24 father-in-laws it's not an easy task.


happy_gilmore::: Ano ba meaning ng abogado de campanilla?

[1D4LV]

Ungas, ang pagkakaalam ko meaning nyan is "topnotch..."

[sequoia]

palagay ko hindi dapat gawing dahilan yung mga anak para lang ituloy yung pagsasama ng mag-asawa. useless kung ang palaging nakikita ay bangayan at bulyawan sa bahay. dapat may respeto at kakikitaan ng pagsasama ang mga magulang.
tungkol sa annulment, isang ground din na pwede ay presumption of death. hindi ko lang alam kung minimum of 4 o 7 years ang kailangan. proven na ito. noong mid 90's gagastos ka aroung 25-30k sa abogado. not sure ngayon.
baka pwede i-share yung istorya para malinaw sa lahat at baka makuha pa sa maboteng usapan...

[IronMan]

One can still file for annulment even if he/she doesn't know where his/her spouse is. You don't have to wait for x years before filing.

Also, church annulment is harder to file than civil. Kasi sa church they are more strict with the grounds for filing. And sometimes, sa civil, nagagawan ng paraan. ;)

[pajerokid]

Just curious, if you do get your marriage annulled, what about the property? conjugal i mean.

[Ungas]

That's another case including children's custody. Basing the facts handed down from annulment case.

[kimpOy]

ang alam ko assets acquired WITHIN the marriage ang conjugal.

[badkuk]

I also have a friend who had completed both church and civil annulment. It took about 2.5 years to complete the process.

hmm...methinks if you know the right people, mas mabilis pa jan...tignan mo ung case ni Sherlyn Reyes n Alma...

[superpinay13]

matatawag po ba na conjugal ang property pag sa husband lang naka name,,pero naatikha ang property mag asawa na sila..ang reason ng husband ehh pag declared daw po na marriage mahirap mag asikaso ng mga papers...may habol po ba ang mga anak??

[Ungas]

Conjugal properties when acquired materials or properties were bought after the date of marriage. Anything that is bought before getting married is considered as personal asset.

Oo naman may habol pa ang mga anak pagdating financial supports. Basta nagkahiwalay ang mga magulang habang sila ay nasa murang edad. 18 ang legal age, dito sa atin. Pag nagkahiwalay ang magulang at ang anak ay 18 na, hindi na ito sakop.
