Question

Help answer this question below.

I got married 2 years ago in CA. A week later, my husband left, and I never heard from or saw him again. He wasn't a US citizen and we never consummated our marriage. Can I get it annulled or do I have to file for divorce?

    Californa Annulment:

    An annulment (or "nullity of marriage" or "nullity of domestic partnership") is when a court says your marriage or domestic partnership is NOT legally valid. A marriage or domestic partnership that is incestuous or bigamous is never valid. Other marriages and partnerships can be declared "void" because:


    of force, fraud, or physical or mental incapacity;

    one of the spouses or partners was too young to legally marry or enter into a domestic partnership; or

    one of the spouses or partners was already married or in a registered domestic partnership.



    Annulments are very rare. If you ask to have your marriage or domestic partnership annulled, you will have to go to hearing with a judge.

    ***

    I'm not sure, but it seems like you'd have ot get a divorce.

    you probably can not get it annulled. In California, annulment is usually only available if the marriage was not legal (bigamy, underage participant, fraud, force, unsound mind, etc.).
