Legal Question in Family Law in California
I recently married a man who changed just shortly after getting married to me and started being verbally and physically abusive. He is now in jail for domestic violence against me and I was wondering if I could file for an Annulment or do i have to file for divorce?

Dissolution (divorce in layperson's terms). You are entitled to annulment if one of you is still married to someone else, you are brother/sister, or he lied to you about his reproductive capabilities.

If the marriage was consumated, you need to do a dissolution.
