Annullment of Transgender Marriage in Canada
In 1998, prior to Canada recognizing same-sex marriage, my partner and I married in Canada. We are both U.S. citizens. I am transgendered and have not had sexual reassignment surgery so I am female bodied. My spouse is also female. When we married I presented myself as male and produced legal documents supporting it. We have since separated and have now lived apart since September 2006. I live in CA and she lives in MI. Is it possible to have our Canadian marriage annulled based on the issue of same-sex or do we need to go through divorce proceedings since I presented myself as male? I am still transgendered and have now legally changed ALL my documents to Male vs. Female.

Internation law? Homosexual wedding? Transgendered partner?
This is so complex, only an attorney can advise you on it. |

[my partner and I married in Canada]
I am almost sure that you will be advised to get a divorce to eliminate any potential claims or confusion. This type of issue happens as well in certain religious and/or international marriages where confusion exists about the actual status of the marriage etc. |
