Re: annulment time limit where fraud is involved
You may have grounds for an annulment based upon fraud. However, you may not need an annulment it you did not know that he was incurring gambling debts during the marriage the court would probably order him to pay those debts and you would have no liability for them. ( I say probably because you will need to develope that information in more detail with an attorney. If for example he used a credit card to incur the debt and you had signed for the credit card, you would be liable to the credit card company.) Any debt that he incurred prior to the marriage is his separate debt. File for a nullity of the marriage, asking for a dissolution in the alternative. Don't "gamble" on this, get good legal assistance. Good Luck, Pat McCrary

That would not be grounds for an annulment as his past debts are his separate debts.
