NONE OF THE ABOVE!!!!! Given the way Ridge handled this, I want Brooke to make this a long, long, long divorce process. Taylor waited this long, what's a few more months?

Yeah, Brooke should make Ridge wait 6 months like Steffy did to Liam. LOL.

Shown on screen, Steffy blackmailed Bill. Yet, she told Ivy (and Liam too) that “blackmail is a crime”. Per Steffy’s own words, she IS a criminal cuz she has blackmailed.

She should be petty like Steffy was with Liam (when they had only been married 3 months and hadn't even gone on any date before getting married). At least Brooke has logical reasons to be petty. Force Ridge to live in sin with his adulteress side piece.

Insanity -- his children drove him insane about leaving Brooke.
The writers are amazing with this annulment thing. They have been using it with Liam and Steffy, too. I don't expect a soap to be realistic all the time, but I do expect it to follow the laws it sets up. If they want a quickie divorce, Eric went to the Dominican Republic - or some island - to divorce Stephanie. Why can't they just do that? When Bill wanted to divorce Katie, he used his residence in Nevada. I wish they'd stop being lazy about it and find REAL life ways to get the divorce done outside of CA. Or just go ahead and have a six months waiting period. Make it two months long. I mean, they don't gestate a baby for a real 9 months. So I'm fine if the 6 months period is only two months or three. smh. They just act like they have no ways to make things work without using STUPID plot points.
Is Eric even divorced? Or is he waiting 6 months? We don't even know. If they knew they want to rush a Bridge divorce so he could marry Taylor, they should have had him divorce brooke back in the spring. I don't get why they didn't. The whole thing is just stupid.

Not sure why anyone is susprised after what happened to Hope and Liam in 2019. She pretty much threw annulment papers in her grieving husband's face and married Thomas a week later. She had zero ground for annulment, but no one questionned it. Liam signed the papers and the marriage was dissolved like it never happened.
At least in this case Ridge can always use the deception ground. He thinks Brooke deceived Thomas and lied to him. That's still a weak reason, but if Hope could annul Liam because she thought her daughter was dead, Ridge can definitely annul Brooke... At least the writers are consistent with this.

Ridge cannot use Brooke deceiving his SON as a reason for RIDGE to get out of a marriage. Ridge has to be the one deceived and the deception has to be the basis for the marriage.
Liam and Hope are not the only people who annulled a marriage. I think Liam and Steffy did it once or twice even and Ridge annulled his marriage to Taylor. I want to say Thorne annulled his to Katie. What about Wyatt and Steffy? I can't remember.

If it is proved that Brooke did not deceive, are the papers still valid?

Brooke didn't deceive Ridge. It only matters if Brooke deceived RIDGE in order to get him to marry her.

Co-signing this as 100% accurate.
I had a client once and we actually vacated his divorce decree because it turned out his "wife" was never divorced from her first husband. It was messy. That's grounds for an annulment.

Interesting. So he wants a divorce and as it turned out, he could get an annulment.

He got a divorce and there was an award of spousal support and she got some of his property. The annulment undid all that. No spousal property rights with an annulment. It wouldn't have impacted any child custody or support because there were no kids. The annulment wouldn't have an effect on that.

My reaction was Brooke should refuse to sign off on an annulment and file for divorce. This way the idea of saying the marriage didn’t exist…which is what bothers her…would be resolved. She could use desertion as grounds since Ridge has dumped her for Taylor.or she could use many, many other grounds…but she should go for a divorce and get some Ridge money while she’s at it.

That's what I was thinking. If she gets an annulment it will mean the marriage didn't exist. Will it stop her for during him for desertion?

She is in a position not to give a Ridge a thing. Carter will get in touch with paperwork indeed. Get your own lawyer, Brooke…hire Justin! And file for a nice, dragged out, costly divorce and drag everything through the mud if need be…but at least it will result in an ended marriage…not a wiped out of existence never existed marriage.

Do you have to prove grounds for an annulment in courts of law. I know people one or two who’ve gotten an annulment and it was not for some flimsy reason as I want to get back with my ex-wife. People who want to do that just get a quickie divorce. It is cheaper and easier.

Yes. In my experience, most people got annulments for religious reasons, such as they are Catholic and want to remarry and can't do that in the church without an annulment.

Ridge can get a quickie divorce in Guam, Haiti or the DM for a few thousand dollars. He has a company jet and money. An annulment is a lot harder.

B&B already had Thorne fax Macy divorce papers so he could hook up with Taylor and let her use him.

he plans to use the grounds for annulment in bell's world, bell only uses soap law which pretty much means anyone can get an annulment at any time

I get it's a soap but none of these apply. I think Brooke won't sign and she'll make Ridge wait for a divorce like Steffy did with Liam years ago. Why should Brooke make him and his side pieces lives easier? NOPE
Meanwhile she can have Bill over anytime she chooses.
