My daughter was married March 25, 2007. Marriage soon ended in late April of 2007. She has been told that she can get an anulment but when she calls lawyers on this they say no she can't. Her husband was very posessive, verbally, and emotionally abusive towards her after they said I DO. She has been through a lot of trauma in her life with the most recent things being a rape in 2004 and victim of an armed robbery in 2006 which has left her with PTSD. He knew all of this before he married her and knew she could not work right now. But yet he used all of this against her due to insecurities he was left with from his 1st wife. He left her home in April and then returned to Michigan in August when he saved up the money to move. Can she get an anullment or not in SC? Even now he abuses and harasses her by phone and computer, calling ot emailing over 20 times a day and accusing her of finding someone else. She can not handle this for a year until they can file for divorce. Please help.

Why is she so ashamed about a divorce? She may have more recourse as a result of that instead of an annulment.
For an annulment, she may need to go to another state. Of course, she would need to become a resident of that state first.
You seem to be putting a whole bunch of information here that may have little affect on the result, so just keep her focused on the primary causes of justification for her case.

I can relate to your daughter the only difference is I stayed married to the abuiser for 21 years. The best advice that I can give you is for your daughter to wait the year it is not gonna change anything except her last name. She needs to file seperation papers to establish a date of seperation and make herself not responsible for any bills after that point on. She can take out a DVO domestic violence order and if he calls her he will be arrested. Your daughter needs to take that year and get herself together and become self relient and take charge of her future ( i know it is hard I had to do it with 2 sons). This will also keep her from getting married for another year which will give her time to heal and prepare for another relationship if that is what she wants. GOD BLESS and GOOD LUCK

i would think that having asked several lawyers and getting the same answer, she will have to get a divorce, not an annulment
