I have been looking into this. When I consult an attorney, I will ask. But does anyone have any experience with this??

As far as I am concerned, he had a pre-existed medical condition that I was not aware of. He has severe ADHD, depression, and borderline personality disorder. His mother is 'psychotic' and on medication, which I did not know at the time. His son and nephew have ADHD, which I was aware of.

Furthermore, in one of his violent rages, he swore he would never have children with me. And he's never taken it back or said otherwise. So I no that is considered fraud. He new my intentions were to have a family.

I just really wish I could get a annulment as opposed to a divorce because I take marriage so seriously. I have tried for years to make this work, but his condition is just unbearable. It makes my heart break just at the thought of even saying I'm divorced. I did not enter into this marriage lightly and I don't want anyone to ever think that or question my morals or integrity.

You probably have more grounds with the BDP than the AD/HD.

And if not have you tried any type of marriage counseling?

I know NOTHING about marriage law or religion based committment ceremony, but whether or not you are legally able to obtain an annulment isit not also a whole other decision to be made by your church independently? Like I said I am clueless on those matters, but I can't imagine anyone that you are worthy of giving a hoot WHAT they thing would not judge you.. Especially if you gave it your best, no one who cares about you would expect you to live in a miserable situation that was beyond your control..

I don't know Michigan law.

Following what I do know of precedents in other states, your best bet is the family planning thing, IF you can prove he didn't just change his mind after the marriage. The BPD/ADD thing would only work if he'd been diagnosed before and had intentionally hidden it from you.

If you really really want the annulment instead of divorce, then that's important for your own self-care and it might be worth it for you to live in an annulment-friendly state for a while. There's another board where someone has lots of info on this kind of stuff - PM me if you want the link.

Here's the simple info that I found.

I would highly advise you to contact a Family Law Attorney, to understand further details involved, with this legal proceeding.

Michigan does provide for certain grounds for an annulment such as a party having a current spouse, one of the parties not being of sufficient age, being mentally incompetency, having venereal disease, or being sterile or impotent. There are other grounds as well such as a marriage entered into as a joke or in jest. It has been held that a concealed intent at the time of marriage not to have sexual intercourse constitutes sufficient grounds for an annulment. <O:p</O:p

Annulment proceedings in Michigan, invalidate a marriage. Marriages may be void from the outset or be voidable, depending on the circumstances. The grounds include incapacity to marry, such as insanity, bigamy, under age, or any type of fraud that goes to the heart of the marriage. Parties wishing an annulment must not cohabitate after having discovered the grounds for the annulment of the marriage.<O:p</O:p
