I was married in August of 2006, and my life and credit went down
hill. She and her mother had refused to downgrade when the bills
were unable to be paid. The electrical bills were over 500 dollars
a month. As a result, I have no credit, no job, and no place to
stay. Can the annulment take place within 10 months of marriage?
