Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey
mariage annulment
i am looking to have my marriage anulled after 9 months.
reason being my wife after 8months finally confesses that her previous marriage may not have been finalized becaused she never actually signed the divorce papers.
well after getting therecords it was in fact finalized(i guess since she didnt contest it)had i known this i would not have gone through with the marriage,and the officials to who did the ceremony would nt have taken part in the wedding.
that would explain why she put on the marriage liscense that she was never married(which was also false)
Its too much of a mess and we decide it's best if we have it annulled,because it never felt right from the very beginning.
now does this situation fall under fraud

Re: mariage annulment
Fraud might be a word that could be used but the best term is "void marriage." The marriage was void
if at the time of your wedding ceremony she was still married to her previous husband. On the other
hand, perhaps you are saying that you would not have married her if you knew she had been married before. In such case there would be fraud preventing you and she from having a meeting of the minds which consituted a marriage contract.

Based on the information you have provided, it appears that you may have grounds for an annullment.
Keep in mind that this information is given based on the scanty facts that you have provided. And no one can rely on advice from an attorney who has not been retained. In order to be able to rely upon any advice, you need to meet with and retain an attorney, who will be able to give you advice after a full and comprehensive interview. Before you do anything, you should contact an attorney for a full consultation. If you call me, mention Law Guru and your first consultation is free. Good Luck! Rob Gleaner
