Hello Vjers...


To those who had been annulled in Philippines particularly in Manila. How much would it cost for annulment and how long will take to have the process in court? thank you so much ...

Manila is so slow when it comes to processing an annulment.Mine was a Declaration of Nullity,a bigamous marriage from my ex.I paid my lawyer 50thousand pesos.He filed it in Sept 20005 at Manila Regional Trial Court,had my pre-trial last July 16,07,first hearing on Oct 5,'07.i got the decision Jan 11,2008,finality Feb 13.i've waited 2yrs and 4mos.I live in Manila and we got married in Manila also.i didnt know before that i can file it anywhere,if i did,i will never file it in Manila.

Note that my case,according to other lawyers was so easy compared to other cases.

mine was filed in the province ... we paid 200thousand pesos ...... it takes 9 months for me to get the FINALITY
and u can file it wherever u want ... in place where money works to shorten the length of waiting

Damn!

Wow 200thousand pesos!my friend filed her annulment in Pasay City last yr for only 100thousand pesos,it took them 7mos to finish hers.had i known it,i filed mine in Pasay City too

hahaha if i have known it too ... ill do the same ..... lucky for her .....

WHEW!!! That surely make me want to praise all the gods and goddesses that my wedding 8years ago was fake from the start and the papers didn't even reach the local civil registrar. Court officials and NSO said i don't even need a certificate of nullity since there are no records at all.

Ed*Riza, I have a friend who was supposed to go through annulment but they have salvaged the marriage so they are now back in each others arms... she mentioned before that Cotabato City grants super fast annulment as long as you pay the price, it could be as fast as 2-3months... but, I don't really have a way of verifying it but you might find somebody to verify it for you.

I wish you all the best... i hope you could get that annulment the soonest. GOOD LUCK!

I had mine in the province and it cost me 125K including the under the table fee ...took 7 months

mine was 150k it took 2years......

Thank you guys.. Hey, It is not my annulment I am very happy with my husband here in Georgia. It was for his freind asking about annulment there and the girl gave 3000$ price for annulment. He asked me if it is real..

what??? thats too much, others are for her shopping spree though lol

I know a woman (former neighbor and co-worker of my wife) who didn't want to wait for an annulment so she bribed some people to get her name changed on her birth certificate so she could pretend to be single.
I thought for sure she would get caught by the US Consulate but she just got her K-1 VISA!
BTW, she told her US fiance that her husband is dead. The poor guy doesn't know what he's getting into. She has 2 kids who she is leaving with her mother. Maybe she will try to bring them later, but I guess she would have to pay some more bribes to get them new birth certificates too.

We filed in 2005 and it took 18 months to complete. The attorney's fees and court filings were P150,000 alone. Then there were doctor's fees for pysch reports and DSDW fees because of her daughter's custody decision. That doesn't count the travel expenses from her home to CDO where she filed the papers and for the hearings. I would guess that all in all it cost about P250,000 for everything.

I guess at today's peso rate, $3000 is only P120,000 so that is a fair estimate in my opinion. It's not cheap by any means, but I don't regret a single peso spent. There are ways to get it faster and cheaper I am sure, but be careful. Things that are not done legally can come back to haunt you. Remember that immigration fraud detected suffers a LIFETIME ban.

oppsss didn't do the math well

sooner or lated that woman's secret will come out...

200k for annulment!

WHEW!!! That's a relief! I am surely glad it is not for you





$3000 or 120,000pesos might not even be enough based on the annulment price quoted here by other vj members and also from what I heard from friends and my own parents (my parents are not annulled yet even after 20years of being legally separated, nobody wants to be the "psychologically incapacitated" partner which lawyer said is the only ground available for them. WELL ) i always hear that P200,000 is the minimum cost factoring everything: psychiatric fee, attorney's fee, judge appearance fee and other red tape fees

Thank you so much guys.. Now it is This friend's decision on what to to do.. God bless you !

mine was 120k in less than a year

i agree

If you know somebody in the province. It's a lot cheaper there. My fiancee paid. 60K pesos.

100k everything included, psychiatrist fee, lawyer fee, filing fee - it's in pasay as fast as six months...that's where i got mine

My fiance filed in June 07, hearing in Taguig July 07, decision November 07, will receive the final stamps tomorrow, March 08. The cost was 150K plus some extra to follow all the papers in Manila as she is not in country.
So we can file as soon as I get a copy.
