Reasons for an Annulment:

1. These is a close enough blood relationship between you and your spouse that the marriage is prohibited by law;
2. Either you or your spouse was married to someone else on the day you and your spouse were married;
3. Either you or your spouse was younger than 18 at the time of the wedding ceremony and the person who was under 18 did not get proper consent from a parent or guardian. If this is the situation, the Complaint for Annulment must be filed within one year of the underage person becoming 18, and you and your spouse cannot have lived together since the underage person turned 18;
4. You or your spouse lacked the understanding of your actions to the extent that you or your spouse were capable of agreeing to the marriage (i.e., either party was too intoxicated to make a knowing decision, etc.);
5. Either you or your spouse was insane at the time of the wedding ceremony and that person has not regained his/her sanity or the parties have not cohabitated since that person regained his/her sanity;
6. You married your spouse due to his/her fraud (i.e., your spouse led you to believe that he/she wanted children. Then, after the ceremony, you found out that he/she didn’t want children; Your spouse only married you for your money, etc.). If this is your situation, cannot have cohabitated with your spouse since learning of the alleged fraud;
7. Any grounds for declaring a contract void in equity. A marriage may be annulled for any cause which is a ground for annulling or declaring void a contract in a court of equity. The parties must desire to declare the marriage contract void and cannot have cohabitated.

If your spouse files an Answer after being served with a Summons and Complaint, then your case is considered “contested.” We will continue to represent you; however, additional fees will apply. We will contact you immediately should this happen and discuss your options.

Most cases do not end up in Court. However, you may be asked to come to Court for a “Prove-up Hearing” at the Judge’s request. The Court will usually send a memo to our office indicating the need for a Hearing. This is rare, but it does happen. Our office will assist you in any Prove-up Hearing at no additional charge if the case remains “uncontested.”

Sealing of your file is up to each individual Judge and cannot be guaranteed.

*Full service includes: preparing documents, filing them at Court, locating a Process Server, if needed, attending a Prove-up Hearing, if necessary, picking up your documents at Court, and mailing copies to the parties.
