Good Day Attorney, ask lang po sana ko ng advise if paano po magfile ng annulment for my husband. Separated po kami ngaun ng 9 months dahil sa mga grounds. Ayoko na po kasi makipagbalikan sa kanya dahil ilang beses ko na siyang pinagbigyan. we are 7 years in marriage at yearly po lagi po akong umaalis ng bahay at umuuwi sa amin dahil sa mga pamamahiya at pananakit niya sa akin mula sa trabaho maging sa inuupahan naming bahay. Kaya yearly ay lumilipat din kami para hindi na kami pag-usapan. Gusto ko po sana na tuluyan nang makipaghiwalay sa kanya para kung sakaling gusto ko na ikasal ulet sa iba ay wala na pong magiging problema. Meron po akong boyfriend ngayon, british indian and nakabase siya sa dubai, pakitulungan naman po ako if ano po ang mga dapat kung gawin para matapos na at magkaroon na rin kami ng maayos na buhay pareho. Hanggang ngayon kahit separated kami lagi niya akong sinusundan sa trabaho. Meron po pala kaming dalawang anak. 7 ung girl at 2 years old ang boy. Salamat po.



Topic: I would like to ask how to file annulment of marriage with my husband. We've been separated for 9 months now, and we've been married for 7 years. Every year I go back to our house because of the embarrassment that he causes. So we often move to a new home to avoid being talked about by neighbors. So I want to be legally separated and annul our marriage. This is so that I can also move on to another relationship. I have a boyfriend now, he is a British Indian and he is based here in Dubai. Please help me what I should do. We have 2 kids, one 7 year old girl and a 2 year old boy.

Ang tanging ground ng annulment sa Pilipinas ay psychological incapacity. Ngayon, kung ikaw ay abused (emotionally, physically, financially at psychologically), maaaring maging isang ebidensiya ito ng psychological incapacity.

Ang payo ko sa iyo ay komunsulta ka muna sa isang psychiatrist or psychologist. Kasi, kailangan ng testimony ng isang psychiatrist para magpa-tunay na ang iyong husband ay may psychological incapacity nga.

Kailangan mo ng ebidensiya ng kanyang mga ginagawang panggigipit, pagma-maltrato at pagpapa-hiya sa iyo. Kung ikaw ay nagpapa-blotter sa barangay o sa pulis every time na ikaw ay gambalain ng iyong asawa, mas maigi. Kung ikaw ay magpa-medical at magpa-litrato tuwi ikaw ay saktan, mas maigi.

Tapos, kailangan kang mag-file ng petition for annulment. Kailangan kayong humarap sa Prosecutor para kayo ay imbestigahan. Kailangang kayo ay humarap sa husgado upang subukang pag-ayusin kayo kung maaari pa. At kailangang mag-testify ka, ang iyong mga anak, at kung sino pa man ang mga taong naka-saksi ng mga pang-aabuso niya sa iyo.

Mahabang proseso ito, hindi agad matatapos. Siguro, kailangan kang mag-laan ng mga isang taon para ang iyong bahagi sa pag-pi-present ng iyong evidence ay matapos. At any rate, kailangan mong komunsulta at kumuha ng isang abogado na ang specialization ay ang annulment cases.

Sana’y nabigyan kita ng kasagutan.
