OUR FOREIGNER & FILIPINA MARRIAGES
This response shall apply only to mixed marriages
between an ALIEN & a FILIPINA/FILIPINO.
In a marriage between a foreigner
and our Filipina, we know that authentic marriage documents are very crucial
for both of you. In the Philippines, we strongly value the importance of
marriage and the family. Hence, we do not have divorce law but only an annulment
or nullity of marriage, which process is like “a camel entering
into a needle”, as quoted from the bible.
Our firm, composed of practicing
senior and junior lawyers, paralegals, and duly licensed wedding ministers
nationwide, was established primarily to provide legal and documentation support
to fully comply with the laws and rules of Philippine government agencies or
instrumentalities on matters of business, property, marriage and family. We
exist because we do not want our own citizens and aliens being victimized by
various syndicates in the Philippines producing fake private or commercial
documents. To date, we hold the distinction of being the most trusted legal
source of marriage licensing and documentation requirements as attested by our
countless past married couples and clients worldwide.
Hence, on the issue of MARRIAGE,
our firm’s goal is to ensure that you have authenticated, validated or
verifiable marriage documents so you won’t get into trouble overseas or to
whatever legal transaction you may enter into after your marriage. We truly understand
that this has a life - long effect to your future, and the future of your
family.
