Divorce, child support & property division

Divorce, child support and property division in the Philippines

Updated 4 November 2026

Approximately, according to published law firm fee guides and a legal guide, November 2026, an uncontested annulment or nullity case is quoted from about ₱250,000 to ₱500,000 all-in, and a contested case with property or custody disputes from ₱1,000,000. Child support has no fixed rate, so the amount is set by the needs of the child and the parent's means. To get a quote for your case, send a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Rules that shape the case

There is no Philippine rule that a parent must pay a fixed percentage of salary as child support. The court decides the sum from the child's needs, such as school fees, food, medicine, transport and clothing, and the parent's income. The Supreme Court's Rules on Action for Support govern these cases, and the Family Code sets out who is entitled to support. Ask a lawyer which procedure applies to your marriage, because annulment and other routes differ a lot.

Timing and the case stage

The Philippines has a wet and a dry season instead of winter and summer, and the climate does not change how a family case moves through court. In November the timing depends mostly on the case stage, the hearing dates and whether both parties agree. Keep your documents in order before each hearing date.

How legal work is quoted here

Family lawyers quote a case price, often all-in, and some split it between the annulment and property division. Ask whether the quote includes court appearances, filing costs and the child support claim. An uncontested case is far cheaper than a contested one in the quotes above.

What to write in your request

Say what you need: an annulment, child support, property division or custody. State whether the case is agreed or contested, whether there are children, and what property is involved. Add where the other party is now, the case stage, whether you can attend in person and your city. Give your budget, so the lawyer can answer with a price that fits.

BlaBlaPrice is free for buyers. You describe what you need in your own words, and the AI asks for missing details and looks through sellers' websites and price lists in the Philippines, then shows the prices and businesses it found. Registered sellers reply in the chat with their own offers, and your contacts stay hidden until you decide whom to contact. This is not legal advice, so confirm your situation with a lawyer.
