CAN I ANNUL MY MARRIAGE TO START AFRESH?

QUESTION: I want to start over completely. How do I get an annulment of marriage?

MY RESPONSE:

You don't get to annul a marriage merely because you want to start afresh.

In order to get an annulment, you need to have proper grounds and evidence supporting the grounds for annulment.

The most common ground for annulment is fraud, but it must be a fraud that goes to the heart of the marriage relationship.

If you file for annulment, you would be wise to also request a Dissolution of your marriage, so that if the Court declines to grant the annulment, it will still allow you to obtain a divorce without having to start the process all over from the beginning to dissolve your marriage.
