Question #86: I was married in 2005 and this was based on fraud. Everything about the relationship was a lie and I quickly looked for legal advice. I was recommended to a lawyer who advised me that the divorce is through the state and the annulment would have to be done through the church. I thought I was to file for an annulment instead of a divorce so that I can move on as if the marriage never existed…in which a marriage really never did exist. Now I come to find that another friend had gotten an annulment through the state. Is there a way I can change my status? I would rather consider the marriage null and void than have a divorce on my record. What can I do? Thanks.
