I need an answer to a question I have reference my son and his marriage. My son got married in May, he has been shipped out to Egypt for a training mission with his army unit. His wife has come back home and is telling people that she is going to divorce him. My question is in reference to them getting the marriage annulled rather than a divorce. We live in the state of Wyoming and my son is stationed in Georgia and will be back in mid October. Could someone please help me or direct me to someone or someplace that can answer my questions.

Annullments or Decrees of Nullity must be proven... All evidence must highlight the wedding day... some basic element must have been lacking on the day the couple married such (intent... on child-bearing or fidelity) One of the parties must prove that they did not, on the wedding day, intend on having children or remaining faithful, one of the parties, on the wedding day, must prove inability to enter the binding contract such as intoxication, fraud, gross immaturity, under-age, bigamy, insanity, duress, concealment, etc. and in extreme cases, incest. It is simpler to file a no contest divorce; no fault divorce... annullments require in some states a year separation before it can be granted, as well as, non consummated union between the couple. I understand the religious law governing marriage; however, I would personally repent and seek God's forgiveness and rec'v God's grace, if I wanted to marry another or remain single. I pray your daughter-in law has cooled her position, she knew she married a military man which declares a non 9-5 husbandman. If it can be proved that on the Wedding Day, concealment, intoxication, the intent of the life-long union was a farce, an annullment should be sought, any of these things arising after the Wedding Day does not constitute grounds for an annullment. Annullments do not dissolve a marriage, nothing on Earth can dissolve a marriage, God ordained marriages; however, the Laws of the Land permit such a union not to be recognized if a legal component was missing. To rec'v specific for your state... contact a divorce lawyer because these rules are state-specific.

Hi,
You really need to consult with a lawyer. Ask him/her what they would charge for discussing this with you. Many lawyers won't charge for just talking, until they actually take some type of legal action for you.
Best of luck,
