| | | Military annulment
What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
My daughter married a marine on July 3, 2008. He drove up from Camp Pendelton for the weekend. The went to the court house in the morning, were married, and she has not seen him since. He told her he was preparing for deployment and did not want her to move to the base because he did not want to be distracted. He said he had to concentrate on his training. She believed him and has only had contact with him by phone. (She fell in love with him the year before and spent a week with him around Valentines Day 2008).
She canceled her medical insurance through her job after the marriage took place and he has not taken care of getting her on his medical benefits yet. He was suposed to send her the paperwork she needs to take to a local military base several times, but nothing has been sent. She told me last week he called her saying he was sorry for the way he has treated her, that he does not love her, but cares for her deeply.
I want her to get this annuled. I think that he married her so he could get more money. He has not given her a dime. (There was not even a wedding ring). What does she need to do to get this marriage annuled? Is there a time limit involved? The marriage was not even consumated.
Please help!
Thank you.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?  |

| | | anullment is a civil matter, the military won't have anything to do with it. You would be better off posting in a marriage and/or civil law forum. As a dependant, however, she is eligible to make an appointment for counseling/advice with the local JAG office. They won't represent her in her divorce, but they should be able to fill her in on the requirements of local law.
"I want her to get this annuled" --- Of course, legally you don't have anything to say about the matter. |

| | | If she wants out, than I would think she could explain her situation to his CO in writing. This may be grounds for fraudulent marriage. At least, I'm sure his command could dig up an Article 134 out of it somewhere. If he is conducting himself in the manner you state, I would suspect he is considered a bag of s+*" at work as well and they would be happy to have something on him. Either way, doing this would probably get his attention and cause him to help in resolution. |

| | | If she knows what his unit is, she can call the base's main number and be in contact that way. She could even go there in person. | |
