You can file a petition for dissolution in California. Obtaining an annulment is difficult as there are few circumstances that will support a petition for annulment. For a dissolution of marriage you will have to serve him by publication. The marriage can be dissolved the earliest 6 months after the service of the petition for dissolution is served on him. In this case after the final publication date when service is complete. You should consult with an attorney regarding the possibility of obtaining an annulment on the grounds of fraud.
