Annulment  Document Preparation

Annulment Misconceptions

The grounds for an annulment are often times very misunderstood. We get frequent calls asking for help with preparing for an annulment based on a marriage of a very short duration. Click here to see the grounds for an annulment including a voidable marriage (a marriage that is declared to be invalid at the time of the court’s order) and a void marriage (a marriage that was never valid from the start). These guidelines will give you a good idea of how the court looks at the process.

Annulments – The Process

The process of annulling a marriage is very much like the process of filing for and obtaining a judgment for a dissolution of marriage. The court costs are the same, the court procedures are almost identical. The biggest difference in the document preparation between obtaining a divorce or an annulment is the reason for the request. The judgment for a dissolution of marriage terminates the marriage. The judgment for an annulment makes the marriage void. Be sure to understand the process prior to starting an action.
