Legal Question in Family Law in District of Columbia

incomplete annulment/unable to locate illegal alien spouse

I have just learned that my annulment was never completed. This marriage was to have been annulled in 1995.

I married an illegal Ecuadorian, we never consummated the marriage, never lived together, nothing. I lived in a different country at the time(am American citizen).

The last time I saw him we were in the lawyers office in 1995 in Manhattan signing annulment papers���I never saw any final papers and could never find him again. He was an illegal alien and is probably back in Ecuador. He had moved and I could never locate him again.

I don�t know the name of the lawyer or law office.

I was just in NYC to get the divorce certificate and they could find no divorce on the record.

I don�t care if the marriage is annulled or divorced. I just want it taken care of.

Re: incomplete annulment/unable to locate illegal alien spouse

I would suggest that you file for a no-fault divorce in D.C. There's a forms packet you can pickup at the D.C. Superior Court (4th flr.-Domestic Relations Clerk's Office) explaining how to do this on your own or you can retain an attorney to handle it.
