Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

annulment vs divorce

I live in Texas and was married in October 2007. My husband and I have never shared a home and do not live in the same county. I've found out about multiple affairs, that he's represented himself as being in an open marriage and he's recently had twins with another woman. During the beginning of our marriage, he promised to move as soon as he could get a transfer with work, but I've also found out that he's turned down those transfers. We have no children together and no marital property. We both maintain our own households without help from the other. Would we meet the requirements for an annulment in Texas? And if so, what steps do I need to take and where do I find the forms to do this pro se? THANK YOU

Re: annulment vs divorce

If you want to proceed pro se, you will have to do the research at the law library to figure out how to go forward. If this is an uncontested divorce, an attorney will charge far less than the cost will be if there are mistakes.

Most debts and assets that have been acquired by both of you during the marriage are community property, regardless of whose name is on the property.
