srvfan's advice is true though. A LDR between someone in the UK and someone in the Philippines has enough hurdles to cross without the added complication of requiring an annulment in the Philippines first. I am not talking about the money factor, it's the time factor - as you admit you could be waiting a couple of years.

Five years for us so far just to get all the prerequisites out of the way to the point where we could apply to the court, that happens next week however it should be a simple case as we are just asking for recognition of a foreign divorce that happened 12 years ago.

You are right LDR's are complex enough, the stresses and strains of just trying this can be enough to almost bring a relationship to an end and we have come close a few times.

Marvie started her annulment in February and it's becoming a bit tiresome with the issues in court. Her husband has not responded to anything, so it's been a constant waiting game as they do the summons, then they have to check each time whether he's received the letters and investigate the collusion etc. Finally we had the trial a few weeks ago and ran out of time before the cross examination, and the next available court slot was 2 months later in December!
We've just gone with the flow and not tried any funny business, but it is a bit annoying having to continuously wait for the court system...
