Divorce and annulment

5 years ago

I want to divorce my wife. She mentally tortures me and has extra marital affairs. She ownes the house and has a govt job. She convinced me to quit my job as I was too young. Now if I go for work, she stops giving food and locks the door. My parents are of no help as they want me to stay with her inspite of knowing everything. I can't afford a lawyer. Is annulment possible? I was 20 at the time of marriage in 2003. I can't wait for a long precedure as I m exhausted mentally and financially.

A.Under what law was your marriage solemnized? Who was the Marriage Officer? What declaration you made at the time of marriage? What were you doing so long? It's almost going to be 15 years.

Legal positions cannot be answered without complete facts, as the answer will differ from one facts to other facts.

A.If you don't have enough money to pay advocate's fees, you can approach the state Legal Services authority. But you first have to leave her house and make a living for yourself. And if she really tortures you and moreover you were underage at the time of marriage, you do have good grounds. However, if you really want divorce, please take some steps to earn some money for yourself for your living separately. Once you do that you will have time and energy to think about legal proceedings.

A.court procedures depends on what accusations you make and what evidence you bring to affirm those accusations you make before the court. Moreover, the opposite party lawyer will not sit idle and listen to you about what accusations you make and what evidence you bring. You will be countered on each and every step you make. Justice can only be served when both the parties are heard and everything is properly justified therefore, court procedures are a bit lengthy. If your wife gives you divorce mutually in that case it can get over in 6 months, But, for divorce contested you need to be patient as it will take time. If you are exhausted financially then District Legal Aid Service is there for you.
