Which is better for us, annulment or divorce?

Unless you can meet the standards of fraud or insanity, you must file for dissolution of marriage not annulment. There is a process called a joint petition for dissolution of marriage which is good for short term marriages with no children or assets. Check that out online or at the court.

Your house is a mixed asset - partly separate and partly marital. You are entitled to the equity you had at the time of marriage. The equity built during the marriage is marital.

Can my husband's ex-wife be responsible for paying school loans although divorce is over with?

Andrew M. Lloyd
Answered by attorney Andrew M. Lloyd
Divorce lawyer at Lloyd Associates, PLLC
It is a difficult question to answer without seeing the decree, but most attorneys make sure that the final decree disposes of ALL property, whether stated or not.  It may well be, however, that your decree has some language regarding any assets not disclosed can be re-allocated.  If that is the case, it would be worthwhile to pursue.  However, again, usually the decree simply states Wife take all 'other' debt in her name and Husband take all 'other' debt in his name.  This type of blanket language is generally sufficient to negate any motion for new trial or attempt to bring the case back before the court on a property distribution argument.  Again, this will depend largely upon the lieral wording of your decree.  Find an attorney local in your area and ask that they quickly look at it.  Takes about 10 minutes.
