I'm live in New York and I married there, but I'm presently overseas. I'm just trying to do some legwork before I get home. I intend to hire a lawyer when I get back.
Are there any sort of grounds in New York for granting an annulment based on something like ongoing psychological manipulation/coercive control?
I married a man who describes himself as a psychopath but doesn't have any sort of mental health diagnosis. He's preparing a sworn declaration documenting our relationship and the ways he abused and manipulated me both before and after the marriage.
In conversation he's explicitly stated he has no empathy for other people, no sense of remorse, and he manipulates and controls people for the fun of it. He's described how he broke me down, made me dependent, manipulated me until I wasn't sure what was happening, and then pressured me into marriage. He admits I knew none of this. This will all be going into his sworn declaration for reasons other than an annulment.
Would this behavior be grounds to nullify a marriage?
