Answer 1

you carnt sorry as u have been together 9 years be4 try living a part for a while it may help if not only 2 years to wait good luck

Answer 2

In most states, you can annul a marriage is it's been less than six months and a child has not been conceived. You should be able to contact your county courthouse and get the proper forms and file it for yourself.

The part you have to worry about is if you were living together prior to being married "legally". Again, in most states, you're considered to have a common law marriage after living together for seven years and therefore you would be unable to apply for an annulment.

Check with your local courthouse. There's usually free legal counsel available where they can advise you on the best way to proceed. Just be advised that they will not represent you in court or file any paperwork for you. They're just there to help walk you through the process. Good luck!

Answer 3

An annulment is a proceeding that is initiated to declare a marriage invalid. The grounds for an annulment include anything that would make a marriage invalid from the beginning. Grounds vary from state to state, but commonly include nonage (i.e., one or both spouses was below the age of consent at the time of marriage); insanity; intoxication; incest; fraud; duress; bigamy; impotence (i.e., inability to consummate the marriage); refusal to consummate the marriage; or loathsome disease. A failure to meet any of the formal requirements for marriage specified in the laws of the state in which the marriage took place may also be grounds for annulment, unless the state is one that recognizes common law marriages. In some states, a failure to agree as to whether or not to have children may also be grounds for annulment.

Unlike in a divorce proceeding, in which it is necessary to prove that some circumstance has arisen after the marriage that has rendered it intolerable, in an annulment it is necessary to prove that the grounds for annulment existed at the time of the marriage. For example, in states where refusal to consummate marriage is recognized as valid grounds for annulment, it must not only be proved that the spouse refused to consummate the marriage, but also that at the time of the marriage the spouse had no intention of consummating the marriage at any time during the marriage. Likewise, if a marriage is sought to be annulled on the grounds of insanity, it must be proved that the spouse in question was insane at the time of the marriage; if the insanity arose thereafter, then the marriage must be terminated by divorce, not annulment.

In most states, only the underage spouse is permitted to seek an annulment of a marriage on the basis of nonage.

What is it about getting married that all of a sudden you get to know each other. Nine years and you didn't get to know her well enough to last two months? WOW.

Did you save yourselves for each other. Never lived together or had sex? Where were you two for nine years? And what made you, after 9 years, get married?

I don't know what state your in but in mine you don't have to have a reason. Irreconcilable differences is the term and only one can initiate proceedings. There are big advantages to this. A marriage where one is afraid of the other would be a good example.

I would think annulment is not what you would qualify for unless one of you went into the marriage against your wishes. But divorce yes.

You have to check your state requirements. But I think most states do not make it hard to get out.

Answer 5

If he hasn't been able to perform with you, that is grounds for annullment. If he was married or not able to legally enter into a marriage contract, you can get it annulled that way. Check with your state to find out what the laws are governing annullment.

Answer 6

I am not certain for sure but I think in order for your marriage to be annuled you'd have to have not consumated it. Check it out with the church that married you would be my suggestion as a good place to start investigating this.

Answer 7

needless to say, he nevertheless desires a ton of scientific care. you mustn't have married him interior the degree he became at because of fact marvelous now he's at a susceptible degree. he's no longer formally over his melancholy and all his different problems, which would reason problems on your marriage. the proper wager in case you desire to maintain the wedding ceremony for you is to cut up your self for extremely it sluggish. enable him it sluggish to make certain a decrease extra, get extra help, with any luck positioned on extra useful drugs, and then see if the dating is rather worth having. If I have been you, however, i might divorce or annul because of fact any guy that seems at kiddie porn is a shame and a perverted person.

Answer 8

Maybe you both should think about it, marriage changes people, they BOTH change, although they can't see it. It's the OWNERSHIP thing. If you can both realize that a piece of paper does not mean ownership, only commitment, then you can still be the same individuals you were before the marriage. I'd consider all you've put into this relationship before throwing it out the door.

Answer 9

Nine years is such a long time to be together. Why get married and then divorce after 2 months? Try working at your relationship.

Answer 10

Usual grounds are failure to consummate or failure to maintain. As you had already been together, I can't see a Court accepting either of these as a premise. Ask a lawyer/
