Nullity of Marriage

The propensity of filing nullity of marriage cases particularly on the ground of Psychological Incapacity is very high with the growing number of hasty marriages and marital woes. That is why the “mortality rate” of these cases is also very high. Contrary to popular notion, there are no shortcuts to a real nullity of marriage case and there is no such thing as nonappearance. For us, it is primary that we make sure that you have the legal merits to stand an Order declaring the marriage void from the beginning even on appeals, if necessary. We also counsel on collateral issues in nullity cases such as child custody, support pendente lite, and rights to conjugal or individual properties of the spouses.

Child Support

Are you an unmarried woman who wants to claim support for your child who is not acknowledged by his or her father? If you have been advised to file a case of economic abuse under Republic Act 9262, then you are probably ill-advised. We have counselled several women like you in order to correct this predicament. An action for compulsory recognition and support is the proper remedy. In order to save time in establishing the paternity of your child with the father in denial, mandatory DNA testing is allowed if properly asked from the courts. Our expertise in this field will save you time and resources. And by the way, support covers recovery of arrears and advances made by the mother in support of the child alone, including costs and expenses of delivery of the child.

We represent both management and labor on many occasions. As for the management, there is always no “victory” even on winning a labor case. Even if the labor case is dismissed by the Arbiter or the NLRC, there is no monetary award for the company who, more often than not, was constrained to spend for lawyers in a costly and protracted legal battle all the way to the Supreme Court. Preventive lawyering is the key. We provide our retained companies timely and expert advice to deter labor cases in the work place. While it may not be totally avoided, at least, we are confident a harassment complaint will not stand in the labor tribunals. As to representing aggrieved employees, we make sure that you they are properly represented in a legitimate case against multi-national companies that pay labor cheap and with abusive practices. Our extensive experience and expertise on this field, both labor and management, is objective and unparalleled.
