What is the name of your state? VA
I got married September 2007 to a man in the military. We've never lived in the same city while married and 2 months later he got stationed overseas. I still haven't moved there yet because he is deploying and won't be back until the fall '08. I recently found that he had a profile on a dating website. Additionally, he had promised me before we got married that he would get out of the military after this 4 year enlistment. He now is telling me that he wants to be in the military for life. If he would have told me this, I never would have married him. This is something I was dead set against and he promised me that he would get out after 4 years.
Is this considered fraud and is it grounds for an annulment? I understand that it's cheaper and easier to get a divorce, but the next time I get married, I don't want to have to go through the process of stating that I am divorced in my marriage license paperwork.
Additionally, would an annulment be cheaper going through military lawyers since he's in the military? I don't know if anyone has experience on this, but I would appreciate any advice. I feel betrayed and I can't trust him. How long does a typical annulment process last? There will be no fighting over money or other assets. It will be a clean cut break. Once again, thank you for your advice.
