My husband filed a complant for annulment 6-7-12. Summons 6-12-12. I have not been served officially yet. What is the time line, process from here for them.
As you have not yet been served, the clock has not begun to tick. However, once you are served, you will then have twenty days to file a responsive pleading. So, for example, if you are served on the 10th, your response would be due on the 30th. Also, if the deadline falls on a weekend or holiday, the due date would then go to the next business day.

For me to file a contested divorce, do I need the original marriage certicate in hand to do so
No, you do not need the marriage certificate to file for divorce.
Married two months March 18, 2012 to June 7, 2012 annulment filing. filed for annulment because he was caught lying, a lot. Had two lives, closet gay, closet smoker, drugs, you name it, and is a doctor here is Las Vegas. Text me every day I love you, then lied.
When he was caught May 30, 2012, he came home late midnight drunk, kicked me, brusing me from my knee to my hip. I went to the bedroom alone in shock and wept. It was over. Next day I started to pack (I brought 5 bedrooms of beautiful things into the home, art etc.) May 31, 2012 he came home late again, he kicked down the door to the bedroom I was in ( I did not try to keep him out, just put a note on the door I was resting), (due to the bruises I was scared). He called the police, his Doctor friend came to his side.After kicking the door down he wielded his gun, telling me to get the f out of his home. They left police came, said he could do what ever he wanted, it was his home. I felt no protection and did not say anything more, was in shock and denial. June 1, 2012 I left the home putting my things in storage. Moved into a hotel..
June 8, 2012. I passed out, went to emergency room, cardio problems stress, doctor saw bruises, domestic abuse, called police. I had taken pictures of bruises on camera. The police took report, no pictures though. Now the detective says there is no case, no pictures my pictures are no dated etc. Question! I want to contest divorce annulment, sue my husband for ongoing medical bills, the medical bill June 8, forcing me out of the home was unlawful, assault and battery, housing, duress? Can I do this, been to several lawyers, all do nothing here, but sit on their you know whats and ask me to fork over $15,000 to do a tort liability etc. I do not have brooken bones. But this is not right, I have suffered way too much with this lying? Doctor. Thanks I will tip.
My thought would be to address everything in the annulment/divorce case. As to the annulment, and as you may know, an annulment may only be granted under certain circumstances. These circumstances include insanity, under age marriage, related partners, bigamy, fraud and drug addiction. As you have mentioned none of these, I am left to assume that none exist. If so, the annulment will not be granted.
As it appears that you consider the marriage to be over as well, you might consider filing for divorce. In the divorce action, you could list the issues you have addressed here. While claims some of the claims (assault, battery, duress) may be difficult to prove, I would suggest that you have an excellent claim as to the medical bills. Regardless of how the bills were incurred, the fact remains that they were incurred during the marriage, making them part of the marital estate.
