where did you marry?

may be easier to do this from Morocco if you married there as US is expensive and cheaper in Morocco

you can divorce in just a few weeks if you have proof you paid the dowery

 

and do you actually have an address to send paper work to 

only month and a half in Utah doesn't give her permanent residency there to file for divorce

and flying back to Hawaii and quitting her job and getting a lawyer there may be more than she can do at this time

 

so,  see the judge in morocco and prove the dowery is paid (should have been one of the questions asked of her for the marriage document)

this can happen fast in Morocco 

I thought you just divorced by text in Morocco.

 

Either way one spouse is in Europe and the other is in the US so Morocco does not have jurisdiction here.

Hi, 

.

So me and my wife are going separate ways after being married for more then a year. Even if we are on the NVC phase finally it's just done deal.

 

So I'm not sure how to go about it. 

 

So I live in Europe.

She is working in Salt Lake city at the moment but is a resident of Hawaii I think.

We got married in Alaska.

 

She wants to get a annulment/void on the marriage instead of divorce as she doesn't want to be reminded of it in the future when ticking in stuff on paperwork or whatever, being divorced or something like that she said.

 

What is the proper way go about it? What is the easiest and cheapest and less hassle way to go? I really don't want to pay tons of money for a unessesary lawyer...

 

Kind Regards

Easiest is to let her file for divorce and then avail yourself to receive and sign the paperwork.  You dont have any need for a lawyer if you have no children or shared property and you don’t even have to show up for the ruling.

One thing for sure do not agree to anything with fraud as her basis for divorce or annulment.

Your soon to be ex wife needs to grow up. Do you think I like to put down my abusive ex-husband's name down on things -- which I will do for the rest of my life when I have to account for all my marriages? Hell no! He is a horrible, narcissistic bully, but I suck it up and deal. Why? Because an annulment is very hard to get and for good reason. It's basically saying this marriage never happened, and there were things that happened that caused it to become a legal non-entity (fraud, bigamy, impotence, etc). Divorces are, thankfully, quite easy to get in comparison, even if it can take a long time to get all the details ironed out.

 

I agree with what others said -- let her start the proceedings in the US, wherever she is resident, and do not sign anything without reading it first. If the timeline for divorce doesn't matter to you, let her shoulder the beginning at least. If you're desperate to get it going, pursue divorce where you are. Best of luck to you -- moving on can be hard, even when you want to. The good memories can sometimes distract you from doing what you know you need to do -- get on with your great, big, wonderful life without her! ❤️

Exactly what I’m thinking aswell. Just needs to see the situation and grow up  

 

But anyway, I think I found the way to start the divorce from Sweden, and seems it would go pretty fast and cost nothing at all! So hopefully it all works out at the end ! 

 Thanks for the post!
