Yoder, CO Divorce Law Firms & Lawyers

The length of the marriage has nothing to do with whether you can seek an annulment. A marriage can only be annulled if there was a legal flaw at the time the marriage was entered into. If the marriage was validly entered into, and then a change in circumstances causes you to no longer want to be married, then you would have to seek a divorce, not an annulment. Since Arizona is a no-fault state, the reason for the divorce (e.g. infidelity) is irrelevant.

You should try to gather as much financial information as possible, such as bank account statements, tax returns, retirement account information from before he transferred it to on-line, his income information, etc.

A divorce decree is the final order granting a dissolution of marriage. There are a lot of hoops to jump through  between filing the petition and getting a decree, including preparing and exchanging financial statements and information, preparing separation agreements and parenting plans, etc. The fastest a decree can be issued is 91 days after you are served with the petition. We offer help with the forms (and getting you through the process as quickly as possible (and possibly limiting court appearances) on a flat fee basis. We also mediate, which can include document preparation) if you would like some assistance. I hope this helps.
