As to fees they are somewhat the same, so to facilitate a case it depends on factors such as: lawyer's capabilities and charm, petitioners pocket full of cash and of course grounds for annulment.
True...cases in the provincial courts are faster because of the case load they have. Fees actually depends on the ground for annulment and if the lawyer felt he earned to ask for a higher fee. A good law practitioner in family courts must well loved by the court staff, so that if are going to ask favor from them, they would readily give. http://filipinaroses.com/images/smilies/smile.gif
