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 you are instructed to stop here, and do not read any further.

Unless all issues including child support pursuant to the mandated guidelines are resolved, you will not be able to obtain an uncontested divorce.

An annulment is only available when the marriage is a sham and has not been consummated. The fact that you are pregnant would lead the Court to believe that you had intercourse thus annulment would not be a proper course of action.

I strongly suggest that you meet and consult with a local attorney who can advise you as to your legal rights and responsibilities...and those of the father.
