I have litigated several similar cases, but they are VERY fact-specific. If you have competent divorce counsel that you are comfortable with, discuss the matter with him or her; there is a process for setting aside a prior judgment granted without "due process" notification to the other person (i.e., you). There are many facts you do not include that couild change the analysis and outcome, so if you are not sure you are getting complete and correct advice from your current counsel, then take all your paperwork (regarding both the annulment, and the divorce, and anything that has happened or is going to happen in the UK) and make a consultation appointment with a family law specialist to analyze the matter completely and provide you with comprehensive advice, which could end up saving you a great deal of time, money, and aggravation in the long run.
