Can I get unmarried as soon as possible if I got married last week and it was a big mistake?

You can only get an annulment if the marriage was not consumated, you were incompetent to marry at the time of the marriage or it was entered as the result of fraud or duress. Likely you'll have to get divorced.

Is it better to wait until you've been married 10 yrs (if you are close to it) before you divorce, if you are a stay at home mom?

The only issue that the length of marriage (at least ten years) affects is whether you can claim under your husband's social security benefits when you reach retirement age. So, if that is an issue for you, wait until the ten years have passed before filing for dissolution of marriage just to be safe.

When does alimony payments start?

Answered by attorney Brent R. Chipman
Divorce lawyer at Law Office of Brent R. Chipman
You should contact your attorney for the exact amount you should pay and for advice on when the payments begin. If the court ordered you to begin making payments in April, you should make the payments by the last day of the month. If the court was not specific about when alimony begins, you can probably assume that the first month would be May. There are no statutory due dates for alimony as there are for child support. If you pay by the end of the month, you are considered current. You cannot be in contempt of an order until it is entered, but if the judge ordered you to pay in April, you could find yourself in trouble if you wait until a written order is submitted and signed by the court.
