Marriage Annulment case in Family Law Court - Please help

[sandy44 0]

Dear VJ'ers,

Need your help about a very stressful and tricky situation that I am facing at the moment. I am not sure if I have posted this in the correct section, but mods please feel free to move this if you seem necessary.

I am a Canadian citizen and got married to my wife (a USC) in Dec 2007 and registered our marriage in San Diego, California in Feb 2008 where she was working at that time. As I was completing my MBA during 2008 and our immigration process took longer than expected and I received my GC in Feb 2009.

All this time, we tried our best to maintain a long distance relationship by meeting in person every few months by taking vacations, etc. (I have numerous flight itineraries and pictures to prove the same) In November 2009, my wife was laid off from work and moved with her parents in L.A. And due to the bad economy etc, I did not move to San Francisco, CA until Oct 2009 though I had been interviewing for jobs in LA and San Diego earlier. At that time my wife had a job in Los Angeles, CA and I urged/tried to convince her to move to SF which was not was not taken well.

In the March of 2010, my wife filed for an Annulment of our marriage based on 'Fraud' citing that I married her only to get a GC and did not intend to live with her; which is totally false. I tried my best to reconcile with her and us working even harder on making our marriage work. The economic factors and not the lack of emotions or commitment to make our relationship work, was which that jeopardized our marriage.

In my opinion, the only reason that she is filing for an Annulment is to get a clean chit

I have consulted with a family law attorney who has given me mixed reactions to my case. I am very concerned about the same and would like any feedback that you may have.

Sandy44,

Sorry to hear about your situation. After reading your post, I have some questions.

Where did you get married in December 2007?

Where were you living prior to moving to San Francisco in October of 2009?

Which immigration process did you complete in February 2009? I-485, Adjustment of Status?

Where did your wife live prior to moving in with her parents in Los Angeles in November 2009?

How many days/weeks/months have you lived with your wife together since your marriage?

Best of luck!
