I know I am reading a bit old post, but would appreciate guys if you can pm me a reputable lawyer for Philippine Family Law - budget is quite tight, so your 1st hand experience with a reputable lawyer who handle your case will be my thing.I am very cautious in terms of trusting individuals. My background is 2 parties are both Filipino but married overseas in 2007.I personally fil my marriage to be registered in php so im pretty sure the NSO record, will show im maried.One year after our marriage i discovered him leaving with someone else while i am working abroad and sending him a monthly support for almost 3 yrs (2 yrs were before the marriage, bf/gf). I filed a divorce in the country where i get married and it was approved last year.When I went to Phil Embassy and required on how should I change back to my maiden name, the consular officer there advise me to have the Divorce Judgment be recognized in the Phils.Since I am overseas I contacted my ex-husband to file he petition of recognition of divorce decree.However after few communications that he is having some issue on filing it, he is now ignoring my sms/calls. So i verified in the RTC to where he is supposed to file the petition and found out that it was not filed at all. Then i am now starting to read on how can i do it myself, so seeking help to get legal assistance.
Looking forward for your replies guys.
