ANNULMENT IN THE PHILIPPINES

[patrick & relyn 0]

Hi all,

Relyn and I have what could be our last hearing on june 18, 2007. we do believe this is actually the last one. Me the optimist thought we would be done in december with the annulment..........lol.

my question is how long is it in all of your experience after the last hearing to wait for the judges decision. our attorney thinks it could be as much as three months.

thank you to all who reply to us,

Hi. I was into the same process too. Mine was submitted for decision Aug 2006, it wasnt made final until November that year. I am not sure as to Relyn's case, but if the lawyer says so, then maybe you can count on that. Actually, the decision will still be submitted to the solicitor general in manila and will wait until 15 days or more then it goes back again to the court for finality, for another 15 days posting. So give it another month from the time decision is made then she is done.

God bless.

I haven't a clue about the annulment process, but I just wanted to wish you both the best of luck!

I filed mine last March 2005, had the last hearing on November 2006. The court staff told me that the judge has 90 days to make the decision after the last hearing but I got the decision last week of March 2007. And then i have to wait for another 15-30 days for the Certificate of Finality & the Decree(by the way the Decree is the most important document that the US embassy would look for during the interview). They told me that my ex has a chance to contest the decision within 15-30 days but if he didnt make any move then I can become single again. I got mine officially a month after the decision.

We started our annulment process in August 2005. We had the final hearing in July 2006. We finally got the copy at the end of Jan. 2007. But misspelled name had to be corrected. Hence we could not file till March of 2007 for the K1. I did not want to believe the lawyer, that it would take that long, but it did, and then some.

Hey Patrick and Relyn,

Unfortunately, I think your attorney is being fair and it will take at least 3-6 months after the final hearing to get your Certificate of Finality. Believe me....I know exactly how you are feeling. You want it to be over so badly and it just keeps dragging on and on. Well I can't tell you when, but it does come to an end and you will get what you are looking for in time. Sometimes I think waiting the 18 months for the annulment strangely enough made my relationship with Mirasol even stronger. Not sure if others will agree. Something about that saying, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder." My sweetheart is here with me now and yours will be too in time. How sweet that day will be! Hang in there my brother!

hi eddie&mary im just wondering what documents did your fiancee showed them on her interview? is the CERTIFICATE OF FINALITY different from the DECREE OF DECLARATION OF NULITY OF MARRIAGE? coz i think their both the same

[jom 4]

This is what my fiancee told me, since she is a lawyer there in the Philippines.

Yes, the judge has 90 days to make the decision but he can also issue it earlier. If your fiancee has a friend working in the court maybe he or she can help her so the decision will be issued earlier. After you and your ex husband has received the decision, you will start counting 30 days but sometimes it takes 45 days because the Solicitor General will be given the time to make an opposition , if any, or the ex husband to make an appeal. Once there is no opposition or appeal , you can already get your Certificate of Finality stating that the Decision has become final and executory AND a Decree of Nullity. The Decree of Nullity is issued by the court ordering the Civil Registrar to erase or cancel the marriage from their record and also ordering the NSO to annotate the same on the Marraige Certificate in their office. The Decree of Nullity has to be published. After you get these documents I am sure the court will be happy to guide you what to do next.

After the publication, the Decision, Certificate of Nullity and Decree of Nullity must be registered in the Civil Registrar of the place where the marriage took place. The Civil Registrar will help you what to do next.

Goodluck and hang in there. . at least you are now waiting for the decision and yes Absence does make the heart grow fonder

Hope this helps.

My fiancee had her court hearing in June 07, and received the judges decision November07, and still waiting all the following stamps and seals. Hope it is soon, as that is all that is holding up the K! filing.

Hi i had my hearing yesterday Nov. 22, 2013. The psychologist hearing is scheduled on Feb. 18. My lawyer said that we had to wait for 1 month to see if my ex would oppose, which i am sure he wouldn't. And after that, had to wait for 3 months for the certificate of finality. My question is, coz we got married in Caloocan, I should bring the certificate of finality at Caloocan, how long will it take for them to forward it to nso and how long will i be able to get it back that it's already done?
