I am married to her now for 5 months. She has never left her mother's home.She is pregnant. we live in Texas. I want to believe in love, but I feel I am being taken for a ride. Is this a genuine marriage if she has never left her mother's home? She asked me to file for the divorce. Now she wants me to file a non-suit, thereby dropping the divorce, after spending over $700.00 to file the petition.

If you have consumated the marriage - i.e., had sex with her - and it seems so if she is pregnant - you can't get an annullment.
Why is she living at her mother's house? Why did you ever get married if she didn't want to live with you? Have you tried counseling? have you tried TALKING to her?

The grounds for annulment vary by state. Short-term marriage or failure to cohabitate are not grounds for annulment in any state that I’m aware of. Failure to consummate is also not grounds in many (maybe even most) states.
In the state of Texas grounds for annulment include things such as:
(1) You were married while under the influence of alcohol or drugs which resulted in you lacking the capacity to consent to the marriage AND you have not cohabited since the effects of the alcohol or drugs ended
(2) One party used fraud, duress, or force to induce the other to enter into the marriage AND you have not cohabited since learning of the fraud or since being released from the duress or force.
(3) One party was permanently impotent at the time of the marriage, the other party was unaware of it, AND you have not cohabited since learning of the impotency. Which is not the same thing as failure to consummate.
There are also other grounds in Texas for an annulment, but there is nothing that you’ve stated in your post that would qualify.

You can get an annulment if you were married for less than 3 months; anything over that time will be a divorce~

If she is pregnant with your baby you will have to get a divorce not an annulment
