Advice on Annulment

[trader dave]

Hi All,

At this time I believe that the attorney does not know that I am paying the bills. I was going to contact him, but I am rethinking my options at the moment. If I had known the ropes then we might have tackled it all differently. It was a surprise to me and my gf about her marriage, it seems it's all connected with documents in the NCO as no ceremony ever took place, its a crazy world ! Thanks again for all your help

now you have lost me she did not know SHE WAS MARRIED

I guess you are not the only person `lost' here !!!!

If there was no marriage then no one is married and no divorce (euphemistically called annulment) is needed

I'm sure most people would remember if at some point in their past, they had stood before a judge or a priest and took part in a marriage ceremony.

Mind you, it reminded me of my wife's cousin who went right through a very expensive annulment process, only to find out at the very end that her so-called ex husband was actually a bigamist so she wasn't legally married to him anyway.

You would have thought at that stage that things would be simple and that she could go ahead and get married again as soon as, but in practise all it meant was that her attorney had another couple of paydays because she had to have 2 more court hearings before she could get her status with the NSO changed back to single.

Only in the Philippines...........

When this was posted I too thought how could a person not know if they were or were not married.

I may have changed my view on that.

Last week friends of ours, English guy Filipino female, both intelligent people, apologised because they had not invited us to their wedding in a catholic church here in Spain. I was surprised how they could have married in a catholic church as both of them are divorced.

Well to cut a long story short, it was only when I asked if the guy had sent off the marriage cert to DWP to claim the additional pension that I discovered they were only blessed by a priest not married. Both absolutely believed they had got married.

I think the last post might refer to;- "Failed marriage of 30 years not enough for annulment" see :- http://ph.news.yahoo.com/abs/2009102...u-85c5a6c.html
