Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

Re: Annulment

NOTE: This communication is not intended as and should not be interpreted as legal advice. Rather, it is intended solely as a general discussion of legal principles. You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

You will need to file a suit for annulment in the family or circuit court (if no family court) in your area setting forth the grounds for the annulment. Because your husband was already married, you have proper grounds to say your marriage was a nullity from the start. If you can get a copy of his marriage certificate from his first wife, attach it as an exhibit and let the court know that he was never divorced.

You may wish to retain an attorney to represent you in this matter. The fees should be reasonable as the case will be uncontested presumably.

Re: Annulment

He may have knowingly committed committed bigamy and could be prosecuted. Be that as it may, you will need the proof of this. Has he admitted to it. An attorney in your circuit can handle the filing.

Have a copy of the marriane application. The clerk's office can assist, but cannot dispense legal advice.

Re: Annulment

In order to a annulment I believe you would have to get proof of his first marriage and then file for an annulment in Florida if that's where you were married?In order to really give you any assistance (because of the facts ) what I need you to do is sent me an e-mail with your phone number and a time to reach you at the number.

Sincerely,
