I and my husband ROM 2 years ago and are staying togather. 3 months after the ROM he suggested that we seperate but i tried to keep the marriage going.
But now it has hit my limited on how's he treating me. I would like to get an annul on my marriage.
How do i go about doing it n will it cause alot.
Btw he'a a malaysian n i am a singaporean. We haven't gone throught the chinese customary wedding n have not registered at the malaysian embessy.
 


So the best way is to seek advice from lawyer n get a divorce.

Hi bubbly gal
It's long story, think back it's because of pressure from my mum that we got ROM. We basiclly dun even love each other. We even wanted to break up before the ROM.
 
if you had felt this way from the beginning, why did you try to make it work when there is no love in the first place?
 
I had my marriage annulled a few years back. The lawyer would look at a few things as well before he/she decides that you can annul. 1) Whether you had your customary 2) Whether you and your husband have moved in together and changed your address 3) Time factor.

Noting that you have moved in together already, it might be a little difficult. It's a long process. Took me on an emotional rollercoaster ride for about 8months.
 
I am not so sure why in the first place did i agreed to the ROM also. Thinking back it was such a bad decision.
 
hi cheryl

i have jus annul my marriage in jan..do u want to seek my lawyer for help?the lawyer has to create a story to help u bluff the judge in order to annul the marriage...few examples are as follows

1)Non-consummation owing to incapacity
2)Non-consummation owing to wilful refusal
3)Lack of consent
4)Mental illness rendering the person unfit for marriage
5)Respondent pregnant by another man
6)Respondent suffering from Communicable Venereal Disease prior to marriage
 
its not bluff lah, its more like put a reason for sake of putting lor, be it real or unreal... u tink the judges in spore so stupid meh... they also cant be bothered if the reason u put is real or not ... as u long as u put a valid reason for them to do their job its ok lor, of cos dont put something silly like 'i dont love him anymore' lah , hehe
 
Hmmm...smileguy..its not bluff la...its more of like phrasing the ugly and not logical stories behind the annualment to something more logical and easier to convince the judge to "pass" the annualment.

BTW..how long you took to annual ur marriage?? Mine like going to 6 mths le...still at paper work stage...real torture to drag so long...haiz...
 
Hi happy angel...mine i got my interim judgement le..the court hearing is over..is that consider over and settle my anulment ?

What abt yours? have u got ur interim judgement?Ya i agree the longer it drag the more torture lo..

Happy angel when did u guys rom...for me i ROM less than a year then annul le..to be exact 4mths.

anyway in chinese hao lai han san..It better to settle in a peaceful way than to separate in a way that owe u wat n owe this wat return this return tat...anyway life still have to go on...
 
Hi smileguy...

I have not gotten the interim judgement...I only know the court has approve on my lawyer's document...now waiting for my lawyer to serve him the document to sign...Hopefully in another 2 mths time i'll be free..

Hmmm..as for how long i'm ROM...to be exact..3 mths and 8 days...

I agree with u that we must learn to hao lai hao san...No point making a big hu ha and torture myself further...
 
hi happy angel..when did ur file ur annulity? for my case the court case is jus 2mth after we file it then 2 week later after the court case we get the interim jugdement report le..but i duno isit the end after i got the interim judgement report..or must i receive the Certificate of Making Interim Judgement Final then consider to an end of annulity
 
Hi smileguy...

We file our annulity back in May...now going to mid of oct. le...the progress is very slow...so much so...i'm very tired of waiting...
 
I married for the wrong reasons also...and now thinking of divorce or annul the marriage. I and him hv been ROM for 3 yrs already. For this 3yrs, we have not been staying together at all and we havnt gone thru customary too. Can i just go to ROM to annul the marriage or do i still need to engage a lawyer for it? pls advise...
 
My friend was married for more than 3yrs and even had a HBD flat with her hubby but still the lawyer manage to annul the marriage..
 
hi,everyone, I am now also preparing for annuling marriage, anyone can help me? Or send me the lawyer's phone number? Thanks a lot.
 
Can I ask a question about annulment? If I have a daughter, how will the annulment affect her in terms of our relationship will still be father and daughter?
 
Sorry....let's put it this way...Supposing a guy was to annul the marriage with a valid reason, and in the marriage there's already a daughter, what would the status of the daughter be like with the guy? Is it still considered to be father and daughter then?
 
it depends on whether the child is yours. the annulment of the marriage is between the husband and wife, the relationship with the daughter remains unchanged - if she is yours. if she isn't, you went into the marriage having her as a step-daughter and with the annulment, i suppose you can take it that you have no ties with her anymore.
 
can anyone send me your recommended lawyer contact, please? can send to [email protected] I don't know if i have make up my mind, so painful to make the decision, but please send me if you have. Thanks.
 
Melchau, I happen to know a lawyer who specializes in divorce case and vy experience and good in fighing cases. Most importantly his charges are one of the cheapest in town.

If anyone is interested can drop me a PM.
 
Had my ROM in 2007, customary in 2009, however my wife and I had been leaving separately since last year, few months after the customary. We had a BTO flat but is currently under constuction, anyone can advice whether is it possible to file for annulment for this case. Also, HDB had previously gave us CPF grant and now they demanded us to pay back the grant plus interest charges in CASH, I have heard cases whereby can appeal to pay back in CPF before. Anyone in same situation as me??? Can share???
 
Not really possible if marriage is more than a year.

They will deduct it back from your CPF unless you have zero amount in CPF then they will ask for cash, yes you can appeal to pay back in CPF, call up the officer and discuss with him/her.
 
unless u can convince the court that both of u do not ever have any sex after ROM... if not, it's impossible for both to return to "single" status..
 
Coz i have been hearing different stories such as if within 3 years can annul the marriage etc. But it is really hard to prove whether have or without have sex after ROM right. Thanks Coco and mrs ho for the infor. It will be good if I can have some good lawyers contact. Anyone have can just PM me, thanks.
 
Am I able to transfer my name for the BTO to my MIL if she were to sell her existing house??? My MIL has an existing resale flat under her own name. Anyone tried that before? Please advice..
Thanks.
