A Petitioner for Nullity is filed against the spouse if you have legal grounds for the Nullity. The legal grounds to obtain a Nullity are very specific and limited. The grounds are usually for bigamy, fraud, duress, incest, or lack of capacity. You should consult with a lawyer to make sure you can prove one of these grounds. Otherwise a regular divorce case is pursued.

There has to be a reason for an annulment, either the marriage was not consummated or the marriage was entered into fraudulently (e.g. one party was already married).

Annulment is very difficult and fact-specific. It is not enough for the marriage not to work out, the marriage must be invalidated based upon fraud or defect in the process when the marriage occurred, or bigamy, etc. To determine if your facts fit, you should consult with an attorney. Otherwise, you would be looking at divorce rather than legal annulment. Best wishes!

Your best bet is to find an experienced family lawyer. If you insist on representing yourself, first check the statute Marines in chapter 767 of the Wisconsin statutes, then draft a summons and Pitch Asian demonstrating that the grounds for divorce said forth in the law apply in your case. Then you must file the case in the court and have the papers served on your spouse and an affidavit of service filed with the court.
