Find a Fresh Start: Guiding You Compassionately Through the Annulment Process
Annulment Overview
An annulment is filed when declaring the marriage is legally invalid. The grounds are different than when filing for divorce. The legal grounds for an annulment rather than a divorce are:
- Either party was already married
- Either party was forced into the marriage
- Underage marriage
- Mental illness or incapacity
- Marriage is prohibited by law, in most cases this is incestuous marriage
- Inability to consummate the marriage

From initial consultations to final agreements, we break down each stage, providing clarity and guidance to help you understand what to expect.

Initial Consultation: This first step involves a meeting where we discuss your specific situation, review the legal grounds for annulment, and evaluate the feasibility of your case.
Filing and Documentation: If annulment is viable, the next step is preparing and filing the necessary legal documents with the court, including the annulment petition and any supporting evidence or affidavits.
Court Proceedings and Finalization: The final phase involves court proceedings, which may include hearings or negotiations, culminating in a judge's decision. If granted, the annulment is finalized, legally nullifying the marriage as if it never occurred.
