Military Marriage Annulment: Options for a Short-Term Marriage

Question
Hello Ma'am. I'm a 20 year old soldier. I got married about 2 years after meeting what i thought was the woman of my dreams. Well 9 months into my deployment in Iraq she says she doesn't want this anymore its to hard. We got married right before i deployed so she could have insurance and the other benefits of a military husband. So we have been married less than a year. I really do not wish to have a long drawn out process. If i am not what she wants is there anything i can do to end it fast and reduce the heartache. Thanks you for your time. Spc Michael

Hi MIchael~

You can file for divorce one of two ways.  You can file through the military and get a military divorce (use JAG, etc), it'd probably be cheaper for you.  Or you can file for a regular divorce.  As long as she doesn't contest the divorce, it can be over in a matter of a few months (from start to finish).  However, if she contests it, then it's going to be drug out longer and cost more to divorce.  

If you have any further questions please feel free to ask.
