What is Annulment?
On March 15, 2003, the Supreme Court of the Philippines promulgated the New Rule on Declaration of Absolute Nullity of Void Marriages and Annulment of Voidable Marriages, thereby legalizing annulment in the Philippines.
Annulment is a legal procedure that declares a marriage null and void, and the petitioner must provide evidence supporting why their marriage should be annulled. According to the Family Code of the Philippines, common grounds for annulment include psychological incapacity, fraud, force, intimidation, or undue influence.
Apart from annulment, the spouses can put an end to their union or marriage by filing for any of the following remedies:
- Declaration of Nullity of Marriage
- Legal Separation
- Divorce (when one of the spouse is a non-Filipino citizen, and which requires the Foreign Recognition of thereof in Philippine Courts)
How Much Does an Annulment Cost in the Philippines?
Navigating the path of annulment involves more than just legal expertise; it also requires a thorough awareness of how it would impact your stability financially and mentally.
While annulment provides a way to terminate a once valid marriage, it comes at a cost in the form of legal fees. From court fees to attorney fees, the process of annulment can be expensive. Understanding these charges upfront is critical for those considering this legal path.
