annulment

etteloc59

my husband withheld from me that he attempted suicide at least five times before i met him, he was also in ashari for alcohol abuse and told me that they said he was not an alcoholic, how foolish was i to believe him!!we got married in a civil ceremony in mauritius in 2006, when we married i had two young children from a previous marriage and i owned my own home which was worth a lot of money at the time, he also owned his own home, he kept saying that he didnt feel it was his home as i had lived there with my ex husband, and as you do when you love someone, i sold my home and bought another and his name went on the deeds, my name is not on the deeds of his house! he has now attempted suicide twice in the last year, and verbally abused me and my 16 year old daughter, he became a complete control freak once we moved and laying down the law in relation to my kids, he has now left the house and wants both properties sold and mortgages paid off and split the balance, which leaves me with no home and no prospect of buying one either as i am 55 years old. would i be entitled to an annulment as he withheld vital information from me before we married??

Get a solicitor. No-one will be able to give you advice here, I'm afraid.

Definitely get legal advice from an experienced family practitioner. Civil annulments (as opposed to Catholic church annulments) are fairly rare things in Ireland, and the courts are leery of people seekign annulments in an attempt to avoid the property and financial orders that might be made on divorce, so you really do need good professional advice on your situation. With the value of the assets at stake, this is definitely not somethign that you want to be considering in the light of anonymous advice received on an internet forum.
