Help on annulment to a british national

How it is done...

5. The age of each person and the duration of the marriage
Obviously, if there has been a short marriage without any children and both spouses are able to earn a living, assets could be divided equally but the court looks at each case on its individual merits and may consider what each party has contributed. If there has been a short marriage but the couple are much older, the court would also look at the case on its merits. It could be that the wife has remarried and given up her rights to a home and pension. This would have to be taken into account. If there has been a long marriage and the wife has spent many years caring for the children, the court may be disposed to securing an income for her together with pension rights as well as capital. Each case is different although there are similarities.

Very few divorce cases go to court. Ours didnt.

They don't really have to, the divorce solicitors usual thrash out a deal between them, another section of professionals that pee in the same pot, I think they stir things up between the divorcing couple to prolong divorce proceedings to line their own pockets.

One good thing about my divorce is that it didn't cost me anything as my wife's solicitors took over my solicitors office and he could no longer act as it was a conflict of interest.

Definitely. Yes. Solicitors end up taking a big slice of the money! So its sensible if it doesnt go to court.

Just making sure

We also made an agreement without it going to court.

I did lose a lot of what I had, but in the end it wasn't worth the stress. And, to be fair, my ex went against her solicitor and agreed to a clean break and never went for spousal maintenance.

In the end I was always going to have to give up the house and I'm glad I did. My wife now would never have wanted to live in the same house as I'd lived with my ex.

Any children involved, Graham?

Yeah. Two. I have them 50% of the time.

My most valuable asset is the Missus and Im not splitting her 50/50

Awww and lol, she'd love you even more for saying that!!!

Annulment in the Philippines was so easy .... mine granted in just 1 year and 8 months. Filed August 2008 and granted April 2010. But my lawyer told me if the court didn't transfer into a new building it will not take that long. He said minimum of 9-10 months processing.

in our case--my partner filed for divorce from her filipino husband---while she was living here in the UK as a student. the divorce was granted here.

we realised it wouldnt be recognised over there-----so she filed for annulment in december 2013---this was granted this february 2015.

some on here suggested she could have applied for a settlement visa with just the UK divorce-----but how would she have got that damn CFO sticker ??
