#:'''Note:''' The applicant can click on their region and city from the drop-down menu or applicant can enter their court name or city to find nearby courts to them.

#Then the Regional Trial Court will order that the substance of the Petition be published in a random newspaper once a week for 3 weeks.
#The case will be calendared for first Hearing and Notices of this will be served to the Philippine government offices concerned, to the last known address of the ex-spouse, and to any other required parties.
#The Testimony of a Witness will be through a Judicial Affidavit. A Judicial Affidavit is used to speed up the Trial.
#In a Judicial Affidavit, the lawyer’s questions and the answers of the Witness are set into writing and Notarized before the Hearing. During court, a Witness will simply identify and affirm this Judicial Affidavit in Court to complete her direct Testimony.
