Annulment or Divorce in Michigan

[sprice]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Michigan

I have been trying to figure out if Michigan has a addulment or do I need to go for divorce.

I was only married for 6 months when she left because I she lied to me on her past and financial condition.

Does Michigan have annulmant or do I need to go for the divorce route.

Thx
Scott

the time of the marriage is irrelevant. The relationship would have to qualify for an annulment. Those requirements are:

552.1 Invalidity of marriages; legitimacy of issue.
Sec. 1.

If solemnized within this state, a marriage that is prohibited by law because of consanguinity or affinity between the parties, because either party had a wife or husband living at the time of solemnization, or because either party was not capable in law of contracting at the time of solemnization is absolutely void. The issue of such a marriage are legitimate.

552.2 Invalidity of marriages; marriage of person under age of consent, marriage by fraud, lack of cohabitation.
Sec. 2.

In case of a marriage solemnized when either of the parties was under the age of legal consent, if they shall separate during such non-age, and not cohabit together afterwards, or in case the consent of 1 of the parties was obtained by force or fraud, and there shall have been no subsequent voluntary cohabitation of the parties, the marriage shall be deemed void, without any decree of divorce or other legal process.

so, if your marriage does not fit within any of those reasons, you have to go the divorce route.
