Hi, I'm new to this site and my girlfriend and i have been reading through all the useful information here - what a fantastic site! However, all the reading has still left me somewhat confused....

I'm trying to arrange a marriage annulment for my filipino girlfriend. She has been separated for several years and her husband does not wish to contest the annulment. However, I've been told that it could take 18 months or more for the annulment to come through. On reading through the various posts on this forum, it seems that it is possible to get an annulment quicker than this... is this correct? If so, what do we need to do in order to get a quicker annulment?
