QUESTION: I want to start over completely. How do I get an annulment of my marriage?
MY RESPONSE: You can get an annulment of your marriage ONLY if the grounds and facts in support of annulment exist in your marriage.
You don't get to choose to annul a marriage just because you want to erase it.
The most common ground for annulment is fraud, but it must be a material fraud going to the very heart of the relationship.
The smartest way to seek an annulment is to check both the box for Nullity of Marriage and the box for Dissolution of Marriage on your Petition, so that the Court can grant you a divorce in case it finds that your grounds or your facts in support of annulment do not satisfy the requirements for an annulment.
If you feel that your spouse defrauded you into entering into the marriage, you should at least consult, if not retain, an experienced Family Law Attorney to discuss the fraud and evaluate whether or not the facts relating to that fraud may be sufficient to justify the Court granting an annulment.
