Re: legal questions

You really need to speak with an attorney about your specific situation, you have too many questions that are too complex to answer in a short e-mail.

Should you like to discuss this or any other legal matter, you can call my office to schedule an appointment for a consultation or in the alternative, I can be reached for on-phone low-cost legal consultation at 1-800-275-5336 x0233699.

Re: legal questions

Marriage Annulment, in NY, is based upon specific claims and allegations, that may include but is not limited to the length of the marriage.

A person may be "evicted" or removed from premises, that they do not own, after ANY period of time, if the person violates terms or conditions of their tenancy; which terms may be oral or written; or even given or Noticed to a prior tenant predecessor in interest.

If a marriage was [made] 'LEGAL' in another jurisdiction, state, or country, eventhough that "marriage" commonlaw or otherwise, would not be possible in NY; NY MAY recognize that marriage.

However, NY is NOT a "commonlaw marriage" state. Which means that a person cannot now (nor in the recent past) form a "commonlaw marriage" in NY State.

A Husband cannot be obligated to support a child of another person, unless, they knowingly consented, or agreed to support or care for the child of another. Which means that your husband cannot be held responsible or obligated to pay or support your child, (that is not his) if any of his prior support was based upon your trickery.

Good luck,
