2 years na pong divorce ang girlfriend ko na nasa japan,japanese ang ex husband niya at sa japan sila ikinasal. Plano namin magpakasal dito sa pilipinas, hindi pa po siya japanese citizen pero may anak siya sa hapon at nasa custody niya ito. Ano po ang kailangan na documents na ayusin at ipadala dito sa pilipinas para maparecognize ang divorce niya dito at para makapagpakasal na po kami. Magkano kaya ang bayad sa abogado at ilang buwan ang itatagal nito. Maaari po ba na ako ang umasikaso nito dito sa pilipinas habang nagtatrabaho ang girlfriend ko sa japan?
Question: My girlfriend has been divorced from her ex-husband for two years now. Her ex husband is Japanese and they were married in Japan. We plan to get married here in the Philippines. My girlfriend is not yet a Japanese citizen, but she has a child with her Japanese ex-husband, and their child is under her custody. What documents are needed here in the Philippines in order to recognize the divorce of her marriage in Japan? Around how much would it cost for the lawyer/ attorney? Around how long or how many months would it usually take? Can I help my girlfriend take care of all the required paperworks/documentation here in the Philippines, while she is working in Japan?
