Q: My marriage was never consummated. He married me to try and get citizenship while being untruthful about It. Anullment?
He has abandoned me and I want to have this marriage annulled. How long would this take to get done? Will I need him to sign? I don’t know where he is. He could be back in Palestine.
I really need help with this. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
A:
If your marriage was never consummated, then that is a ground for an annulment in Tennessee. You should seek a local family law attorney who has experience with your situation. If the marriage was a result of fraud on his behalf, you can report him to ICE. You can find their information at https://www.dhs.gov/immigration-or-customs-violations
The bigger question is who signed the I-864 Affidavit of Support. You need counsel. Please do not hesitate getting an attorney. Service can be achieved with publication with the permission of the Court. I have handled such cases before as have many other attorneys.
