Recognition of Foreign Divorce

Dear Atty,

Hallo my name is Hazel i married in Manila a Japanese...
Now he divorced me in his country.

What papers do i need all and how do i get them that i can file the case of Recognition of Foreign Divorce?

What is a fair cost for that case for the whole process?
How long does it take about?

Hope you are willing to help me with my questions because its nearly unpossible here in Pangasinan to get awnsers?

Hazel

2) Certified copy of Japanese Divorce Decree (in original Japanese text, with Phil. Embassy Red Ribbon);

3) English translation of divorce decree (with Phil. Embassy Red Ribbon):

4) Certified Copy of Notification of Divorce (in original Japanese text, with Phil. Embassy Red Ribbon);

5) English Translation of Notification of Divorce (with Phil. Embassy Red Ribbon);

6) Copy of Divorce Law of Japan (in original Japanese text, with Phil. Embassy Red Ribbon);
