hi ian

just got married in philippines october 25th, getting paperwork together to bring my wife back to the uk ,will apply for spouse settlement in january when going back to phil, my wife had to go through annulment, i knew what i was getting into from the start, it took about 2 years for annulment to go through , cost about a £1000 in total, have known my wife for 3 years, as far as lawyers are concerned, think they are all trying to rip you off, once they know you are a westerner,yes there are good and bad ones, think it would be better if your girlfriend could source one,

good luck ian
