annulment

When I received a judgment of annulment from the court on my marriage, what title will I have? DIVORCED or SINGLE. I would very much appreciate it if you point me to any reference that supports the answer. thanks

Re: annulment

Your question does not seem very important, frankly.

Annulment is one way to terminate your marriage, but it is VERY different from a divorce. The results may be very different from what you expect.

You really need to sit down with an attorney and get some guidance. The decisions you make now will have a profound, serious and long lasting effect upon you and your children.

Some thoughts (and these are only general statements, NOT intended to guide your decisions):

You are in the beginning or middle of a divorce.

You have a job. You may have a house. you may have savings, pension, credit card bills, and other things to deal with.

Your spouse may have a job.

You may have a child (children), and child support and college tuition needs to be paid. That is measured in tens of thousand of dollars.

Nothing that an attorney can say over this bulletin board can come close to helping you solve your problems. Careless actions by you will likely cost you thousands of dollars, make your life more difficult, and possibly cause additional harm to the child (children).

Hire an attorney. Go to an experienced divorce attorney located reasonably near you, and pay the attorney to review your situation carefully with you, and give you some guidance.

If you would like, give me a call; I am in northern New Jersey. I will be happy to discuss this with you; the telephone consultation will be free.

You can not rely on the statements made by an attorney given over the internet. The exact facts of your situation, including facts which you have not mentioned in your question, may completely change the result for your situation.

Re: annulment

When a marriage is annuled it means that you were never married due to some defect in the "marital contract"

which cause the parties never to have

had a meeting of the minds as to the

marriage. Unless you have previously married you have never been married.

You are single.
