Good day. I would like to inquire about the process of annulment, as I am currently residing in Dubai. Thank you.

1. The Preparation (Pre-Filing)
The journey begins with a legal consultation. You and your lawyer identify the specific legal ground (the most common being Psychological Incapacity under Article 36).
The Psychologist: If you're filing for psychological incapacity, you will usually undergo a clinical evaluation. While recent Supreme Court rulings (Tan-Andal v. Andal) have clarified that incapacity is a legal rather than a purely medical concept, an expert's report still serves as strong evidence.
Document Gathering: You'll need PSA-certified marriage and birth certificates, and proof of at least six months of residency in the city where you intend to file.
