Maybe. There are differences between a divorce and an annulment. First, an annulment takes place when a marriage was not valid to start with. What this means is that if you and your spouse married under false pretenses, then the marriage can be annulled. If the marriage is valid, then a divorce will need to be filed. It is important that you discuss both options with your attorney to fully understand which option is right for you and your situation.
You need to talk to an attorney immediately. If you do not have a parenting plan in place, when you go through the divorce proceedings, one will be created. Typically, couples are able to work out plans for parenting together but if not, then the judge will create a plan. It is important that all parties stick to the plan in place.

In some cases, the judge may listen to what the child has to say before they make their final decision. If you have questions about this process, it is important to speak with a qualified divorce attorney.
A home is considered an asset in most divorces, especially if it was acquired after marriage. If you are expecting to keep your home, you should let your attorney know, so they can counsel you on what to expect. Unfortunately, in some divorces, the house must be sold or one of the individuals must purchase out the other. However, this is something that will be discussed with you, so you know what to expect.
Yes. All divorces are handled the same way; however, the circumstances and results for each may be different.
