if my husband has file for the annulment. do i still need to engage a lawyer to represent me?

HI unhappy_Yoshi,

if you have something to claim from ur ex or something to claim than get a lawyer urself, if not, if nothing against what he spill on the annulment letter and u agree to sign, and he is willing to pay for the lawyer, than let him/her pay for the money, save urs.

I have my final annulment done in Feb 14. 2014

talking to a lawyer is $500 per hour...and you may not get what you needed to know...cos that's the lawyer's way of enticing you to seek him up again...I have a ex lawyer friend...you can PM me ([email protected]) if you really are on tight budget and need legal advise. I'm not into charging hor...just a victim myself that's why I understand. By the way, he's not charging also ...we are just helping. God Bless.

Will the custody of the baby go to the Mother if we decided to annul the marriage? And what is my rights as a Father? Thanks.

You can't annul the marriage if you have a kid. With a kid, it means both of you have consummate the marriage. You can choose to divorce. Unless there are special circumstances, baby would most likely go to the mother. As a Father, your right is to pay alimony to the ex-wife and kid. You are no more needed.

Hi verysadguy, even if that is a shotgun marriage and there is no consummate after the ROM?

Based on the following, I would assume it is possible...

"A child that was born to the couple before the marriage is annulled is still considered legitimate under the law."

"A child that was born to the couple before the marriage is annulled is still considered legitimate under the law."

You need to read the paragraph above the article you post. Do you already know there is a kid before the marriage? The paragraph you post is saying that a child born before the marriage is still considered the couple's child even after the marriage is annulled. It is nothing to do with whether you can get an annulment or not. This means that even if the marriage is annulled, you still need to pay alimony to the ex-wife and child.

"However, if the respondent knew of the above situations (except a previous marriage) and went ahead with the marriage when they could have avoided it; then it will invalidate the chance of obtaining an annulment."

Any of u can explain to me why you would want to annul a marriage only after a few months after ROM?? Juz curious as I'm a newly wed bride.

Hi, Sometime annulment is not both party decision, usually its 1 party childish thoughts and 1 party childish fantasy. Some just realise they cannot change the other half after marriage and think he/she can, decide to go thru the most quicker path. Some are guys decision who doesnt want to pay for divorce split fortune. But no matter what, 1 of the party usually is not willing to let go. But when marriage failed due to some childish way, ending it earlier is better than when kids are involve. No one wish to have unhappiness after marriage. U are newly wed, keep a positive mind, love the person u married to keep it alive and happy, hope the other party think the same way... dont wonder why others want annul marriage after a few month ba, U shd be thinking how to walk a longer path after marriage is more important. :)

me and my husband ROM on 26 July 2013 and we wish to annul it. can i ask do we need a lawyer to process this? He keep telling me that we do no need to have a lawyer to do.

Hey... If dont have any idea who lawyer to go thru, maybe u can look for Yeo's associate ba. Fee will be very commercialise of cos, but definitely need 1 to deal. Maybe u can ask him why dont need? and who is gg to void the marriage for u 2, the ROM? How naive he is

Hi all, I seriously need some advise.
We registered in Mar 2017.
Signed the annulment documents in Mar 2018 (both signed) - even know I know she doesn’t want. But until now still no updates from the lawyer. We are both living apart, never consummated due to my unwillingness (I don’t love her). How long will this process usually take? One main reason I called the marriage off is because she tried to attack my family with a knife when we were quarreling. Can this be another good reason for annulment? I’m only scared she secretly withdrew her consent for annulment.... that’s why it’s taking so long. Even if no grounds for annulment, can I pay to get it annul? I am really suffering from this wait. And I’ve met someone new, I really just want to end this and start a fresh.

Albeit my reply is couple of months late, ... instead of taking to the forum, ... shouldn't you be calling your lawyer instead?
