Annulments

Annulments are the legal equivalent of an eraser - it creates a legal fiction that says your marriage never happened.  Grounds for an annulment are limited, and generally one has to be able to prove that he or she was induced into a marriage unfairly, such as by the use of fraud.  Parties to an annulment may still be entitled to a financial settlement, so if there are assets to be divided, seeking an annulment does not mean that you have to give up your financial rights.  

If you are considering an annulment, call us to schedule an appointment and discuss your rights and options.
