New Jersey Annulment

[estrella079]

What is the name of your state? New Jersey

I am now seperated from my husband for almost a yr. We have been married for 2 1/2 years. We both mutually decided to seperate and go our own ways and end our marriage. I was just wondering since we have no property and no children together, if we can have our marriage annuled instead of a divorce.

If have no idea if you would qualify for an annulment or not (my guess is no) however its generally quicker, easier and less expensive to just get a divorce.

Need some advice

New Jersey

I'm not really sure what the qualifications for a new jersey annulment are but the only reason why i wanted to look into it was because my husband was in the military for 4 yrs. About 2 yrs ago he was ordered to go into Iraq, the only reason why we got married was because he wanted to make sure if anything happened to him in Iraq, that I was taken care of, financially. We got married through the court two days before he shipped off to Iraq. He was in Iraq for about 6 months, got out of the military and came back home. We moved in together and lived with each other for a year. It was then that we realized, things between us were different and that it wasn't working out anymore. I would perfer to have an annulment if possible because of my religion but if thats not possible than we would have to go through a uncontested divorce. In that case, we agree with everything and have nothing to divide and no children. I want no alimony from him. We just want to sign papers and have it done as quick as we can. We also wanted to do it ourselves too without any attorneys. What do we have to do, to get the papers we need to file an uncontested divorce?

Go down to your local courthouse and ask for them. However, since you have no children and no property, and are in agreement, it probably wouldn't cost all that much to use an attorney. If you want it done as quickly as possible, that's the best way.

New Jersey Uncontested Divorce

First of all, I want to thank you for all this advice and information. I looked into an uncontested divorce and I read that you have to be seperated for 18 months to file for a divorce. We've been living apart as of December 2005, almost a year. Do we have to wait 6 more months to file for a divorce? Also, I was wondering if we have to file for a legal seperation. We haven't done that.
Thank you for your time.
