Hi Mavid, Wow! after 3 years? Well at least your through with it. Mine was finished after 7 months and now decision will be released on Tuesday. There is the OSG and the finality at last!.
To familylawyer. Decision in 2 weeks? That is very fast...You said if the clerk of court is a friend of the lawyer? can she make the decision without the instructions from the Judge?

Yes three years...But honestly...I don't really mind now that it took that long.
That 3 years is in the past now...it has been lived and enjoyed.
What matters is...we are getting there.
Hmmmmmm did i say that? hehehehe
I mean, if the lawyer knows the clerk of court, he can write the decision and usually, the judge would just review and sign it. Remember, most judges have many cases to decide (both criminal and civil cases). So most delegate the task to their clerk of court, and sometimes to the court staff.
Definitely when we look forward from the day we file the annulment it seems so tiring thinking of expenses to be incurred plus the times to be spent with the lawyer and etc etc but when you look back you will say that it is worth the waiting and for me 7 months is not that long!

I second that
To Familylawyer, if the grounds for annulment is very simple i guess even if the lawyer do something following the usual routine, and if you are lucky to be assigned to a good Judge then there is no hearing anymore. So The clerk of Court and the lawyer has nothing to say on this. I thought if the lawyer knows the Judge and the Clerk of Court then it will be faster and easier but in my case my lawyer was surprised when he was told by the clerk of court that she needs my signature, Psychologist and the witness and there's no hearing just the pre-trial and done

who told you that you need not appear?
FACT TO CONSIDER:
1. You need to be present when you will testify except if your testimony will be taken through written interrogatories.
2. You need not appear for the preliminary conference and pre-trail hearings, if you had executed a Special Power of Attorney infavor of your lawyer.
3. If your ground is psychological incapacity, then the psychiatrist needs to examine you.
4. If the lawyer is a friend of the clerk of court, the trial dates and decision can be worked out (faster).
and hope its night the bright light inside tunnelGoodluck!
to loved and beloved is the greatest joy on earth...
