Another ingredient to thicken the plot:
Jen tells me that she was "forced" to get married by her husband; quite what this means I don't know as yet, but I'm sure neither of Jen's parents gave consent as her mum was in Australia and her father was absent for whatever reason. It just makes me think that maybe there is some hope that this may not be a valid marriage...as i have said, we live in hope...
Hi Russel_61, just thought I'd share this with you. I've just consulted with a lawyer this morning regarding my annulment and was quoted 120Kphp. In my case I haven't had any contact with my ex for 21yrs and has no idea with his whereabouts. I was told that it can take roughly an estimate of 8mos to a yr cos he's nowhere to be found so there'll be no one to contest and also depending on the flow of the court system here...He's a reputable lawyer from the Commission on Human Rights here in the PI and was referred by my best friend who was once the director there...I'd be happy to share his information with you in case you or Jen are interested.Originally Posted by Russell_61

I must say, whether she was forced to marry this guy or not so long as it's recorded in the NSO there's really no way around it but annulment...it's the ugly truth....in addition, you said it yourself that she has a marriage certificate with her so I think there's the answer to your question. Let us know if her mum can make her marriage cert disappear..here in the PI, there's a saying that "it is not what you know...it is who you know"
hahahahaha yes, we have that saying too...Hi Russel_61, just thought I'd share this with you. I've just consulted with a lawyer this morning regarding my annulment and was quoted 120Kphp.

Thanks so much for your advice and yes, as I said in a previous post we are going to treat it as if Jen is still married unless we find otherwise from the NSO.
myself and Jen wish you all the luck we would wish for ourselves & who knows, may be in a year's time we will have a double celebration. We will keep you posted as to the outcome with the NSO
hehehe didn't know that works there toohahahahaha yes, we have that saying too...

Can't agree with you more Russell...will look forward to that double celebration, in the meantime we're planning for a visit visa....cross fingers that i get oneWhere is Jen located by the way?
Saw one thread here about annulment that she got hers completed in 4 months which is pretty awesome so I'll leave her a message cos 4months is so much better than 8 hahaha
don`t take this as gospel but I am sure I rad here last year that some provinces are faster and that you can apply in any province... I may be completely wrong but worth checking out
good luck to both couples
Live your life for a reason and don't worry be happy
if you don't know where you are going then any road will do!!
thanks scott...i'm under the impression that she's from the province so you maybe right...it won't hurt to check, all they can say is no
thanks again, this site is really helpful...

Here is my understanding which may be of interest.Another ingredient to thicken the plot:

If parental consent is needed, then this must be made prior to the issue of a marriage license.
The local reistrar cannot issue a marriage license without parental consent, if such consent is needed.
A marriage solemnized without a valid marriage license is void from the beginning (unless it falls under the exceptions).
Just trying to help out
yes i read this and these were my thoughts too
