...and I tried to find a free consult lawyer no deal :-( $60 for a 30 min consult was the cheapest I could find.
...does anyone know if online legal advice is a sham?? I considered paying the $10 to pose my issue there. Thank you in advance for all your help/insight
ANNULMENT
NRS 125.290 Void marriages. All marriages which are prohibited by law because of:
1. Consanguinity between the parties; or
2. Either of the parties having a former husband or wife then living, if solemnized within this State,
Ê are void without any decree of divorce or annulment or other legal proceedings. A marriage void under this section shall not bar prosecution for the crime of bigamy pursuant to NRS 201.160.
[18:33:1861; B § 211; BH § 487; C § 498; RL § 2354; NCL § 4066]—(NRS A 1959, 195; 1967, 531; 1973, 201)

In regards to your question, thoroughly check out any attorney you consider using; their credentials and experience are of utmost importance regardless of the purpose of the consultation. You can check your state bar association as well. You may want to contact a family attorney in your area and ask in advance what the consultation to do this would cost .. and how long (time) it should take for the consultation itself or even if they offer a telephone consultation. This is a relatively simple situation: you found out recently your current marriage isn't valid; how do you annul it so you can remarry again and what filing/court/attorney costs are involved? Most importantly, what kind of timeframe are you looking at? A good family attorney should be able to give you a realistic total figure to work with .. only you can decide whether or not it's worth that kind of money to get on with your life.
Good for you for making the phone call. At least you know now there is a certain procedure in place for your state, despite the time it took to reach someone. (That'll happen depending on how early in the day or week, etc. that you call city hall.) You can, of course, always post your case on www.legalmatch.com as well. Good luck.
