Pwede po ba ako mag file ng annulment kahit nasa abroad asawa ko? Paanu po ang pag process? Kapag po ba di sya pumirma di po ba maga-grant ang annulment? I am psychologically, mentally, emotionally at sexually abused po ng asawa ko ever since po kinasal kami. Pwede ko po bang gawing grounds yun for annulment?

Normally, hindi naman kailangan na pumirma ang asawa ninyo sa petition for annulment lalo na kung ang inyong dahilan na pag-hingi ng annulment ay kayo'y pinagmamalupitan ng inyong asawa.

Ngayon po, sa ilalim po ng Family code, isa lamang po ang ground ng annulment, at ito ay psychological incapacity ng asawa ninyo. Ibig po sabihin nito ay isang personality disorder, isang problema sa pag-iisip. Ngayon, kung mai-uugnay ninyo (at ng psychologist ninyo) na ang pananakit sa inyo ay bunsod ng isang problema sa pag-iisip, maaari po ninyong ipa-annul ang inyong kasal.

Please consult a lawyer. Your lawyer will tell you what you need to do.
