I am 19. Last year I made the biggest mistake of my life.
My then-boyfriend persuaded me to marry him.
We got the marriage license one day and were married the next.
Nobody in my family knew about it.
I really didn't want to do it, but I was having some problems at the time, and he hinted that he would never talk to me again if I didn't .
We broke up in May.
He is not a U.S. citizen and has never lived here.
He has since gone back to his country and hasn't returned to the states.
For the last three months, I have been seeing the most wonderful guy of my life.
I'd like to get a divorce and move on, but I'm a full-time college student with no money, and my family doesn't have any money either.
I found a site that was featured in the media that can help me with the divorce for little money, but my ex refuses to sign anything.
I just want to get rid of him after the stuff he put me through, but I don't know where to go. -- "MARRIED" IN NEWBURGH, N.Y.
Dear "Married":Because of the circumstance of your marriage, it may not be possible to end it without the help of an attorney.
Because you can't afford one, I recommend that you get a part-time job and save money for a consultation.
With help, you may be able to get the marriage annulled.
