Legal Question in Family Law in Oregon
Criteria to meet for an annulment
My husband and I believe an annullment would be best for our situation. We dont have kids, share any finances/property. Nor am I seeking any kind of spousal support. He was under the impression that I wanted to have kids when we were married. I do not. So he feels he has been cheated out of a family. Does this fall under the criteria to annul the marriage? What are the specific criteria and how is it met?

Re: Criteria to meet for an annulment
No basis for annulment from what you have described. Uncontested divorce is the appropriate means for legally dissolving the relationship.
You were both legally eligible to marry one another at the time you did so, and you both knew what you were doing. The fact that he wanted children and was under the impression that you did, too, is of no legal consequence. He may feel cheated, but that is not sufficient. (Supposing you actually DID want to have children and it turned out that you were unable to do so but that was not discovered until after the marriage? Would he then be able to get an annulment? The answer is NO.)
So file for divorce. If you need legal assitance, give me a call. We can arrange for an appointing for further consultation and legal services.
