Would a divorce in Las Vegas or Reno be binding in Illinois? In general, what is the quickest way to get a mutually desired divorce? And lastly, with sufficient grounds, is annulment easier, faster or cheaper?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
My response:
Nevada is a divorce "No Fault" State. However, in order to get divorced in Nevada, you need to be a resident of Nevada for 6 weeks, and have been living separately and apart from your spouse for 1 year prior to filing for dissolution of the marriage.
While it's very, very easy to get married in Nevada, getting divorced is quite a different story.
Grounds for an Annulment are very difficult to obtain, even after one day of marriage. Usually, you must be able to prove fraud, or mental incapacity, or incompetency due to age, or other strict guidelines. If you can't meet the States' laws for Annulment, then you MUST obtain a standard divorce.
