Answer to Question 2

The student should note that both the grounds and procedure for obtaining an annulment vary from state to state. Sallysue would likely base her claim on fraud grounds. Billybob never intended to have children but told her that he did want to. She relied on his statements when she married him. His fraud goes to an essential of the marriage i.e. childbearing. The student should reflect an understanding of the elements of fraud summarized in Paralegal Application 4.1 on page 118 of the text. Billybob may raise the defenses of consummation of the marriage, ratification, laches, and unclean hands.
