My common law partner had a fixed marriage in the Philippines to a 46 y/o Filipino US citizen in 2006 in Cebu. That was the 1st and last thing na ngmeet sila, hindi nagsama at walang anak. My gf's ex husband lives in US and I am not sure if he has address in PH but we still have his US contact nos. A divorce was granted when we filed here in Canada. We spoke to my girlfriend's aunt who is a lawyer and advised us that we could use the divorce certificate with the processing of annulment in PH. My girlfriend is from Cebu and I am from Manila, would it be okay na sa Manila ifile ung annulment or would you recommend rather in Cebu? Could you also give me a brief details on the procedure with the annulment using divorce cert and how will it affect the annulment and possible expenses too. Finally, would you recommend a lawyer who I can contact with in Cebu or Manila to file for annulment with reasonable fees and a very reliable one?
Thank you!,
