Annulment - If I reside in Georgia but was married in Michigan, where may
I have my marriage annulled?
Question
I was wanting to find out about getting my marriage annulled. I was
married March 3rd of this year in an out of state marriage in Battle Creek.
However I live and I am a Georgia resident. Can I get my marriage
annulled up there or do I have to do it here in Georgia?
Answer
I believe that you would file in the State of Georgia since you are a resident
of that State. You did not mention whether your husband is also a
resident of Georgia. If he is a resident of Michigan, you may also
file in the county in Michigan where he resides. I would strongly
recommend that you consult a local attorney to assist you with this matter.
Once the attorney knows all of the facts, he or she can advise you how
to proceed.
