    Thanx very much for your time..i have a Pinay solicitor here hoping she is good at this case. And hoping to get good lawyer for annulment (roughly how much & how long ).

    Annulments in the Philippines are unfortunately another grey area, they are like fingerprints as no two are the same, cost and the length of time it takes vary. Just make sure the ex husband is in agreement and that the lawyer in the Philippines has a good reputation and will not string the process out asking for money all the time. Try to negotiate a one off payment and do not pay the money up front.

    I've forgotten how much my wife paid for her annulment but I think it was above £2000, @bigmac went through the process more recently and will be able to give you a better idea of the timeframe and cost.

    From what you write, it seems that it was your wife who initiated the divorce from her first husband. If that is the situation, you need to proceed very carefully because she will not be eligible for an annulment in the Philippines and if her marriage to you becomes known, she will be subject to prosecution and potentially imprisonment for bigamy. If you go there, you would face similar charges.

    I suggest that you consider moving to a Schengen State.

    There are a few of us on here going through the Annulment Process at the moment. I now that two of us are using the same Lawyer, whom through certain sites and forums came recommended. It is a long process, and expensive. If you PM me I can give you her contact details if you want. If you type in annulment in the search other contributors have others that they recommend too. Good luck, I think your going to need it. Please keep us up to date.
