Are you in need of having divorce papers served in the Philippines? While this isn't something any of us look forward to, it is a necessary evil that many of us must deal with at some point during our lives. If this is something you are in need of, there is a solution just an email away.

Serving divorce papers is a service that Pointman Cebu has been providing for years. Until recently, though, we didn't feel a need to openly offer this service on our site. However, with an increasing number of inquiries regarding divorce in the Philippines, we have decided to add general pricing, as well as other information about serving divorce papers for our clients:

As a foreign national, you may serve your Filipino spouse with divorce papers. In most cases, the Philippines recognizes official divorce documents from other countries. Filing for the divorce would be initiated by you in your home state or province.

In the US, for example, each state has different requirements (which you must meet) prior to serving documents on your (defendant) spouse. So, you would be required to follow the local laws and regulations regarding divorce in your area, prior to retaining our services.

Please note that, as a foreign or Filipino national, there is much misinformation about having to secure an annulment prior to remarrying in the Philippines. This information is not true. As a foreign national, if you go through legitimate, legal divorce proceedings in your country, you can return to the Philippines to marry again. I know, because I have personally done this.

This may get a bit complicated, but let me see if I can explain it. If a Filipino national files for divorce in another country (as the plaintiff), his or her divorce will not be recognized in the Philippines. If the foreign national files in his or her country (as the plaintiff), both spouses can legally remarry in the Philippines. There is a stipulation that could stop (or at least delay) your Filipino spouse from being able to remarry.

If you (a foreign national) filed for the divorce and have given your spouse a copy of the final divorce decree, both you and your spouse can remarry again within the legal boundaries of the Philippines. If you have not given your spouse a registered copy of the final divorce decree, your Filipino spouse must secure an annulment prior to being able to remarry here, although you will be free to remarry in the Philippines.

So, no matter who has filed for divorce abroad, the foreign spouse of the Filipino National will be able to legally remarry here - as long as the divorce was granted by the court system of your country.

Explanation of Fees

In our travels throughout the Philippines, we have learned that it isn't always easy to go where we want, exactly when we want. This usually applies to the more rural areas of the provinces, rather than the larger towns or cities in the Philippines.

On occasion, we may be delayed due to the lack of transportation to carry us onward to our final destination. When we get into very rural parts of the country, transportation schedules are not as frequent, nor as reliable as they would be in the more populated areas. Weather is another factor, which may cause us to be delayed. This is especially true this year, as it seems as though rainy season will never end!

Additionally, once we have completed serving the divorce papers (or other service) for you, we may not be able to return to Cebu on a specific day. This may be due to limited boat or plane schedules. So, we must take this into consideration when setting our prices. However, you can rest assured that Pointman Cebu will take care of any service you have enlisted us to do, on your behalf.
