Firstly she needs to protect herself from him physically. If he has moved out or gone she needs to change the locks on the doors. Secondly she needs to protect herself financially. Open a new bank account close the old one.
She needs to get custody of the children. New born included. She needs to sue him for child support. Good luck.
I have to agree with don5327 that she needs to protect herself finacially and physically. She should also consult an attorney. Annulments are rare and I am not sure that the drug addiction is enough cause especially with a child involved…
Go on the home site and type in annulment. It will explain the reasons that they are granted.
Sadly, the child that she is pregnant with will be his child and she can not completely keep him away from that child. She can get a protective order, primary physical and legal custody but this child can not legally be kept away from the father. On the better side of this, normally persons that are this heavily addicted do not have the desire to be a parent so she very easily could consult an attorney, have an agreement drawn up so that she maintains the residence, primary legal and physical custody, and have him sign it. Due to the length of time they have been married, it’s doubtful that she would have to split any assets or be responsible for any debts. The money that he has already taken would be a small price to pay if that’s all she loses…
