Title: Wife and I have decided to separate. We've only been married 7 months in CA. Seeking to nullify the marriage based on an unsound mind. What kind of legal snafus might I expect to run into after filing this?
Question:Basically to make a long story short my wife was having a total mental collapse axiety, depression, and sever panic attacks I thought it would be brilliant to get married because it would "save her". We were both terribly terribly wrong and so I have filed for an annulment in the court but my stepmum who is a paralegal said that it's not the 'best choice'. I know I can also petition the court for a summary dissolution but I'd rather have this just wiped off the slate for a clean break. So my question to the internet is is there a social stigma? Will this somehow backfire on me? What kind of problems am I likely to run into?

I did some research into CA probate section 810-813 and at the time Wife was experiencing multiple symptoms that fall into the definition of being in an unsound mind (and perhaps me too) but I am seeking to make a pretty cut and dry case here. I know that if the court doesn't grant me a nullification I can also just ask for a summary dissolution. What else can I do?

Answer #1: Do you have a religious or property reason you are seeking an annulment? Or maybe an annulment has a shorter waiting period than divorce in CA? If the answer is "no" to these, you may as well get a divorce. So much easier.  You will absolutely be granted a divorce. You may not have grounds for an annulment, but you'll certainly have grounds for a divorce. Moreover, if you file for annulment and it gets denied, you'll have to start over again with the divorce. Start a new waiting period clock, pay new filing fees, etc. The safer course is probably a divorce. I don't know anyone who attaches stigma to divorce anymore, but I do live in a pretty liberal city.
