Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
Hello
I married a Venezuelan girl over 10 years ago in a small town in Fl..We were married at the local Court house..I am a US citizen and found out she was not. We did not reside together at the time but of course were planning to. Within 2 days I found out that she was a non citizen ..this of course was a concern at the time..When i ask her to produce the paperwork she simply left the country and returned to south america..I have not seen or spoken with her since..My question is do i qualify for annulment and what would the procedure be.. thanks

Unless it is for religious reasons, I generally always recommend simply pursuing a divorce. An annulment requires a much higher burden of proof.
If you opt to proceed without the assistance of counsel, be aware that you will not be entitled to a �do over� if things go badly.
The above information is provided without any consideration/payment having been received, and without full knowledge of all of the facts.
An internet inquiry is no substitution for an in-office consultation with an attorney.
If your situation falls within the Greater Tampa Bay area, I would be happy to schedule you for a no obligation half hour office consultation. The main office is in Dunedin, with a satellite location in Tampa.
Feel free to Google me.
Good Luck, Elliot Goldstein
