The preparation of personal and business documents involves the preparation of all the documents you may need for your personal and business transactions. Of course, this costs more than just a legal opinion, because the lawyer prepares a written document. The rate of preparation of a document varies depending on (a) the complexity of the document; and (b) counsel preparing the document. As with legal fees, the cost of the psychological assessment varies depending on the experience. It usually consists of two parts, the costs of the report and the appearance of the psychologist as a witness in the nullity proceedings. The written psychological assessment report itself could be as low as 25,000 pesos to 40,000 pesos. The appearance fee depends on where the psychologist or psychiatrist is based versus where or where the case is filed. This could be between 2,000 pesos and 10,000 pesos per hearing. „Paragraph 4 Secretaries of the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court.-……… (a) for the filing of an application, proceeding, appeal by communication or minutes, if necessary, for the appearance of the parties, the registration of court orders, the presentation and filing of all applications, the registration of the case in all appropriate files and their indexing, the registration, registration and confirmation of the judgment and the dismissal of the files to the lower court, the imposition of their costs, the taking of all necessary oaths or assurances in the application or proceeding, the registration of the notice of the court and the issuance of all necessary procedures in the claim or proceeding not otherwise provided for herein, any special action or proceeding, five hundred (P500.00) pesos;……… (b) for the solemnization of marriage, including the issue of a marriage certificate, three hundred pesos (P300.00)………
