That is a long, long time to wait before doing anything!  Almost certainly, there is more to the story, and specific advice should wait until you go through a consultation to go over everything you know about the facts leading up to those events, and what you know about the economic and other lives of both parties since then -- there are many facts that MIGHT alter the advice to be given.  And it is hard to see what health issues you are referencing, or why they are relevant to the divorce/annulment question. Generally, however, it is common to file a complaint "in the alternative" -- for both annulment AND divorce, so if things do not turn out as anticipated, you will still conclude the action by becoming unmarried.  First, see: http://willicklawgroup.com/annulment/ http://willicklawgroup.com/divorce/ Then schedule a consultation with this office, or other family law specialist office, and find out as closely as you can the costs, risks, and benefits of each course of action you might take.
