Angela Deem gained fame as a reality TV star due to the entertainment industry’s preference for controversial figures, despite her reputation as a bully and unpleasant individual. According to starcasm.net, the crazy Meemaw filed a Complaint for Annulment of her marriage to her estranged Nigerian husband, Michael Ilesanmi, at the start of summer 2024. However, there are many indications that suggest the court will deny her request.
Angela’s grounds for annulment are based on claims of abandonment and fraudulent inducement into marriage. She alleges that Michael abandoned her and was involved in a conspiracy with other Nigerian men to marry U.S. citizens for the purpose of gaining legal permanent resident status in the United States. Angela’s filing states that she has been unable to locate Michael to serve him the annulment papers, as he has been missing since February 2024.
While Angela’s claims are serious, there are several reasons why her annulment might not stand in court. Firstly, proving fraudulent inducement can be challenging. Fraud as a ground for annulment requires clear and convincing evidence that one spouse intentionally misrepresented or concealed vital information that significantly influenced the other spouse’s decision to marry. In Angela’s case, she would need to provide substantial proof that Michael’s primary intention was to gain legal residency and that he conspired with others to achieve this.
Secondly, the burden of proof for abandonment is also high. Angela must demonstrate that Michael left her without any intention of returning and that his absence has been continuous for a significant period. Given that Michael’s whereabouts are unknown, it may be difficult for Angela to provide concrete evidence of his abandonment.
Additionally, the court may consider the length of time the couple has been married. Annulments are typically granted for short-lived marriages or where the grounds for annulment existed at the time of the marriage. Since Angela and Michael have been married for over four years, the court might be more inclined to view their issues as grounds for divorce rather than annulment.
Furthermore, Angela’s inability to serve Michael with the annulment papers could pose a legal challenge. Courts require that the respondent be properly notified of the annulment proceedings.
If Michael’s living situation is still unclear, Angela may need to consider other notification methods, such as publication. However, it’s important to note that this approach, while a possibility, does not guarantee Michael’s notification of the legal proceedings.
