Ask a Lawyer: annulment of a marriagePosted by: Dads Divorce on Nov 29, 1999   |

Question:
My friend was convinced to come to Tennessee and let his sister who is deputy clerk marry him to a women his family felt was a good choice. He did. But he knew it was a huge mistake. He told her just after that it was and they have agreed to have it annulled. They both live in Virginia. What does he have to do? They say they did not sleep together. Please give me the general how to's. Does he have to have an attorney? How long will this take? etc Thank you
Answer:
I must preface my answer by saying I am not licensed in Virginia. Your friend really needs to speak to an Attorney in Virginia to see what the requirements are in your state. Not consummating the marriage may not be a requirement. In Indiana, sleeping with your spouse has nothing to do with annulment. You must show an incapacity or fraud. For example, being mentally ill, under duress, under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Sometimes it is just as easy to get a divorce as annulment. Again it will depend on the laws of your state.
