Benefits of an Annulment

Under certain circumstances, you and your spouse may be eligible for an annulment in order to end your marriage. In this case, the marriage is simply seen as though it never happened under the law. Though nullity is difficult to prove and the circumstances are limited (irreconcilable differences is not one of them), some couples may prefer this course of action due to various personal or religious beliefs.

Though annulments may seem simple, there is an extensive amount of work that must go into obtaining one. This is a process that you should not go through alone. By hiring an experienced attorney to help handle your case, you can be confident that all of the appropriate paperwork and legal exercises are complete.

Annulment vs. Divorce

The following list outlines some of the benefits of an annulment, versus a legal separation or divorce:

• Improved religious standing.
• Limited complications regarding the division of assets or child custody.
• Dissolution of an illegal marriage (where one party was under the age of 18 or the marriage was based on fraud).
• No right to support or property from the other person.

For some annulment cases, you may need witness or expert testimony to help prove the grounds for your case. In addition, there may be other legal procedures to complete that take experience to do thoroughly and accurately. In either case, the help of an experienced attorney can help you receive the marital status that you desire.
