ASSESSMENT

CASE START

When we start your case, we discuss your goals, gather facts, and explain which paths are allowed based on the case facts and Philippine law. We always encourage you to ask all your questions at the beginning when you <a href="/contact-us">Contact Us</a> so that your concerns are met and your expectations are correctly set.

Setting the Correct Expectations

A combative case involves opposing sides, like when dividing <a href="/">Conjugal Property</a> after a marriage ends. <a href="/">Legal Separation</a> features conflict between spouses, while <a href="/">Judicial Separation of Property</a> requires mutual agreement. In such cases, provide your lawyer with all relevant facts, documents, and resources to support your position.

Combative vs. Non-Combative Cases

Philippine law differs from international law, especially in ending a marriage. While&nbsp; divorce abroad is often quick and simple, <a href="/">Annulment</a> in the Philippines requires a trial and strong evidence. It is a longer, more complex process. Clients must understand this early to prepare for the timeline and legal demands involved.
