He is now in a mental hospital for being diagnosed with a mental illness which led him to do the things he did and is why he was incarcerated. He is telling me i have To sign an annulment i am lost and don’t know how to go forward?
A:
Hi there. An annulment is an option for ending your marriage when there’s a mental incapacity issue.
It is different than divorce, but the end result is the same — the end of your marriage.
You should speak with an attorney to discuss the differences and how to move forward.
I’m happy to consult with you and I offer both full and unbundled services.
Good luck.
A: No, you can just file a regular divorce. In fact, based on the facts as you relayed them, that could be your only option.
