I was told one could only get an annulment within 30 days of marriage. Anybody know something I don't?

Thats not true. I'm sure there are rules about it like within a year. But there are alot of people who get it after. Petition the court for an annulment and if they deny your request you still have divorce as an option. Speak with an attorney about this to be sure. There are alot of grounds you can get an annulment on:Fraud is a big one. Like if they told you before you got married that they wanted children and then after the wedding they told you they lied. So definitely speak with an attorney. With an annulment you won't be a divorcee. It will be as if the wedding never existed.

not all post nuptial agreement works\nonce married, it's very much like signing a busniess contract, amnd then wanting change order made to it to amned the contract. Post nuptials can be voided in courts, it's still realitivelty new territory, Prenups are routingely null and voided when the courts deem they are too restrictive. In essesnce if you have sizeable assest, you should NEVER get married.. period.

I was so tired after my wedding I didn't know what to do with myself, so was my husband.  I would wait til at least the next day.  We got married on Saturday and left on Monday, because it was cheaper to fly that day.  Sunday we took care of some loose ends and gave the money to my mom to deposit at the bank on Monday.  Good luck

Maybe she can get an annulment of marriage instead? She should consult a lawyer as it might be a bit trickier than a straightforward divorce. In Catholic countries, I've heard that the Catholic church has to grant the annulment or something. Best of luck!

Absolutely.  It's rarely used, but can be uniquely effective in family court.  While describing your stupidity during marriage and one year prior to marriage, cite examples, consequences of your ignorance and poor judgment, and try to make references to other people - family, friends,work associates - who can support your claim of intollerable, irreversible stupidity, hence your asking the court to annul the marriage on the basis that you never gave much thought to the marriage in the first place and didn't realize it would turn out the way it did.  Whamo....it's annuled.

Hi!  I've taken Canon Law and a Catholic Pastoral  Minister.  Yes, you do have to have an annulment from your Tribunal.  Annulment isn't a divorce, it is a statement that says the civil marriage or church marraige was void at the time of saying vows because of an impediment.  Many people make vows to each other and want to be married but it doesn't means God agrees and joins the 2 flesh into one.  I can't marry my poodle, dolphin etc.even if the judgicial system sees it.   The Bible says that the 2 must be believers  or unbelievers.  Meaning the 2 must be in a belief system that is somewhat complete with thier feelings of salvation, and understanding of what marriage entails.  Your first civil marriage is probably not going to be seen by the Church as a sacramental marriage because you didn't fulfill what you both were brought up to believe, and your immaturity has much to do with it. If the Tribunal court affirms the marriage null and void as a sacramental marriage you are free to marry again.  Pray and tell God of all of your feelings. Give your life to him.  Pour out your heart and let him know he is needed in your life.  Go to a Priest, get confession and be reconciled and ask your priest to help you.  If he won't , go to another until you find a good priest.  I went through the process, cuz my first marraige was much the same.  The annulment should go through and shouldn't take long and don't worry about money . If anyone tells you that you must have money it is a lie.  No money changes hands unless you can afford it.  (usually 300 to 500 dollars unless different in your diocese)  The money, if given is for the secretarial and bookeeping fees.  Every day say "Jesus, I trust in you!  This is between you and God, not the Church.  The Church is to support you and give you sacraments to boost and fill your spirit.  The Church has to make these assessments  so that all marriages are kept straight in the records and keep the whole Church in unity.  We have more people in our Church then any other Christian Church and records kept for 2000 yrs.--alot to keep straight.  Bigger than any corperation and  the longest running establishment.   I hope this whole bunch of incidents makes you want to learn more about our beautiful and mystical faith.  It did for me and now I am very happily married for 23 yrs. and our family has seen so many real miracles and experienced real joy.  I did a big soul searching of myself to find the right man, because I had alot of baggage.  Get to know yourself and what you really want and need to live happily.  Good luck sweet girl and I will keep you in my prayers.

I am in the same boat. My b/f is currently going through a divorce and if we wanted to marry, we wont be able to until his divorce is final.

We say that it means just what it says:  that temporal marriages (i.e. "to death do you part" civil arrangements) are just that:  temporal.  They do not extend into the eternities, and those who marry outside of God's covenant will not have the ability to have eternal marriages in heaven.\n\nSee additional LDS scripture on the topic:\n\nDoctrine & Covenants 132:15-17\n15 Therefore, if a man marry him a wife in the world, and he marry her not by me nor by my word, and he covenant with her so long as he is in the world and she with him, their covenant and marriage are not of force when they are dead, and when they are out of the world; therefore, they are not bound by any law when they are out of the world. \n  16 Therefore, when they are out of the world they neither marry nor are given in marriage; but are appointed angels in heaven, which angels are ministering servants, to minister for those who are worthy of a far more, and an exceeding, and an eternal weight of glory. \n  17 For these angels did not abide my law; therefore, they cannot be enlarged, but remain separately and singly, without exaltation, in their saved condition, to all eternity; and from henceforth are not gods, but are angels of God forever and ever.

If you married this person for better or worse than please tell me what happened to that vow. Goodness this is stupid to even think about running out on the person you married when they need you the most//////////

Any marriage in which one of the people is already married is null and void on its face. It is as if the second marriage did not happen at all.

Did you not know you where you were going to live before you got married? anyway, get an apartment today or get an annulment tomorrow.

Immediately notify the company or bank that holds the mortgage. Let them know your situation, and ask them if they can give you any type of grace period, or even work out smaller payments, just to keep your credit on the up and up. After 30 years of marriage, you are entitled to half of the assets. Do you have any income of your own? Contact a lawyer-ask around, and take others advice on who to see. Usually the first meeting is free, and it will give you the direction you need. Its your home too, and you have to act fast, if youre going to fight. Good luck to you.

you should be able to get this information from an attorney. i am canadian and i married a brit here in canada. we got a very easy divorce after being separated for over a year - that is one of the 'reasons' for a divorce here in alberta. it was done in about 3 months and cost $800. i dont know that they 'dont do' annulments in canada but that isnt an easy thing to do anyway. you have to prove that the marriage was fraudulent or that it wasnt consumated and things like that. contact the law office in your state and the govt in the province you got married in and see what information you can find.

You have to check with your states Friend of the Court or whatever they have.I think that it differs from state to state.In Michigan I don't think it does.It is set at time of divorce and then if you remarry, I don't think that she can ask for more if your new wife has a good job. But I am sure some money grubbers try.

Well, I think 4 months is a bit too short a time to claim spousal support. He may bring up the fact that you left,  I think there's been successful defense based on (I'm paraphrasing) "spousal disregard". In a husband, this is refusing to work or support the marriage. The girlfriend may/may not count against him. He can point to the fact that you were seperated as evidence that the marriage was dissolved..........\n  Not beating up on ya, just pointing out that he'll be able to fight back. Personally, I "cheer" for any woman who has the courage to stand up and get rid of an abusive bf/husband.  \n  Ironic, but I was incredibly proud of my sister for being arrested (domstic viol.) for beating the living sh--t out of her physically abusive boyfriend.
