What is the difference between annulment and nulification of marriage here in the philippines?

how long would that take and what is the procedure? thanksWhat is the difference between annulment and nulification of marriage here in the philippines?
Annulment is a process by which a marriage is dissolved because of various reasons one of which is irreconcilable differences. Nullification, on the other hand, is a process that stops the marriage from continuing because it is null and void or invalid from the start. One reason is that one of the contracting parties was a minor at the time of marriage.





How long the process takes depends on how fast and efficient the judge is when penning a decision taking into account that all requirements for the application has been submitted and no postponement on hearings has been done. Your lawyer will advise you on what to do in either of the case.What is the difference between annulment and nulification of marriage here in the philippines?
Annulment and Nullification (Null is the key word ) are the same in the Philippines , it just says that the marriage from the beginning is null and void because one of the partner has Psychological incapacity to contract the marriage (before the marriage that partner has already exhibit y that incapacity ) or that some requirement like permission of parent for minors was not obtained , some documentary requirement was not fulfilled before the marriage.


One most accepted for Annulment is the Psychological incapacity , so you have to have a Psychologist attesting to the mind set of the partner being accused as the party at fault . The marriage will not be annulled if the judge found out that there is connivance on both parties to annul marriage , or the marriage will be annulled because one partner has an extra marital affair , you could only get legal separation .





If one of the party accused for being at fault do not attend the hearing in three separate hearings then the annulment case even with proper notification , will be judged according to the pleadings with the judge and could be sh 6 months , if adversarial then could take two years .My brother in Law's annulment even the wife in US could not attend , it took him more than three years. Rember good lawyers make the difference
annulment is the nulification of marriage. it basically means the marriage is void. not valid. as if the marriage didnt happen. how long it takes depends on the circumstances involving the case. sometimes few months, sometimes years..
