The annulment process in the Philippines is complicated and daunting. It can take a heavy toll emotionally and psychologically, not to mention the financial burden that one would face. However, the annulment process could run smoothly, if you hired the right annulment lawyer for the job. But how to look for the best annulment lawyer?
To help you find the best family law attorney, here are some tips.
- Ask for referrals from family and friends. Your trusted circle can give you recommendations on choosing the best attorney for the job.
- Research online. In this digital age, most, if not all, law firms and annulment lawyers have a website or social media pages that you can look into. Read the reviews online and get as much information about the law firm and the attorney as much as possible.
- Visit the lawyer and ask questions. Your prospective lawyer should explain the annulment process in the simplest yet coherent way. Also ask the lawyer on how he or she would handle your annulment case.
- Draft a contract so that you will know what to expect, especially on the money front. So, be clear on how much you will be spending for the whole duration of the annulment proceedings.
Once you’ve decided on the family law attorney to hire, prepare yourself emotionally for the annulment process. The annulment could give you a roller coaster emotional experience, especially when you will meet your estranged spouse. So, it is best to anticipate your chance meeting with your former partner.
