I hate to talk about this and I am embarrassed even though I know I shouldn't be. Here's the situation. Married almost 1.5 yrs. and we have been doing the divorce dance for several months. He tells me that he has participated in homosexual behaviors before we were married and was unsure for approx. 3 yrs. if he was a homosexual.
I have no doubt that he should have told me before we were married. I guess what I want to know if anyone has the answer to my ? of "can I file for an annulment" for this reason of concealment?
I've got to tell you this information has floored me.

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
Annulments are rare and are only granted in situations where there was some LEGAL DEFECT at the time of marriage that makes it invalid. Even if the marriage was not valid from the beginning, the court still has the power to divide the property, enter a parenting plan for children, and make financial orders.
Not sure if that helps or just makes it more confusing...
Ultimately it will be up to a Judge if you can have an annulment vs. a divorce. Also, you may want to do some research. Try the internet, library, legal aide office in your area. At the very least it would give you a starting point, and a better idea of what your rights are.
Stay strong, and best of luck to you~
