amycorr11 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Kinda long so bear with me. A year ago I ended a 5 yr relationship and began a new relationship with a man I had a strictly platonic friendship with for several years. He was perfect in the beginning and I wondered why I waited so long to date him. He brought up marriage very early on and said he was ready to settle down. After a couple months I noticed he had insecurity issues and would pick these ridiculous fights. After a while he would apologize. Against my better judgement I accepted his marriage proposal Christmas of last year and we set a date for this past March. The fights continued but I figured once we wre married he would calm down. Wrong! Things got worse and there was a lot of drinking involved. We never did anything together just the two of us ..including our honeymoon! The situation was volatile and became toxic. I left the marital home July 1st. Just a few weeks short of our 4 month anniversary. There is no hope of reconciliation. We have no kids e no assets or property, no joint bank accounts. I don't want to wait the required 1 year if I know it's over. He won't admit to adultery tho I suspect it as his status is single on Facebook. Should I admit to adultery and go for an online divorce? We are in the state of South Carolina if this helps. Link to post Share on other sites

GuyInLimbo Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Uh, have you bothered to call an attorney? Sounds like this would be better grounds for an annulment, but I'm no attorney. Link to post Share on other sites
JJLA Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Uh, have you bothered to call an attorney? Sounds like this would be better grounds for an annulment, but I'm no attorney. I'm a divorce attorney. I can't speak specifically for North Carolina, but here in California, the grounds for annulment are: incest, bigamy, or incapacity (under the age, unsound mind, etc.). An annulment is asking the court to reset the marriage and undo it as if it never happened. I just don't see grounds for that here. However, California has "summary" divorce, and NC may have something similar. If you are married less than 5 years, have no kids, and no assets or debts, the court gives you a simplified process.
