My name is Alexa. I got married in Nov. of 2006. In May of this year (09) I learned that my husband had lied about his divorce and had not waited the full 6 months to re-marry after his divorce. He said he had been divorced a full YEAR. I found out from the courts website that he filed AFTER we met. So, we were married only one and a half months after his divorce. He lied on the marriage petition as well.
I moved to Wisconsin AFTER the marriage, after selling my house, etc....
I have asked several attorneys who aren't sure how to proceed. Do I get an annulment based on fraud? Do I get a divorce? Were we legally married if he didn't wait the full 6 months? If not, what do I file to make him responsible for paying me back all that I spent getting me here, etc......?????? If he is in agreement so that he doesn't go to jail for fraud, can we do this Pro Se. I don't want him in jail, I just want him to re-pay what he owes me and the correct paperwork filed.
Thank you
