Reasons for an Annulment

Not every marriage will qualify for an annulment. To be eligible, it must be shown in court that the marriage was never legally valid. While every situation will be different, an annulment can occur for a variety of reasons.

  • Close Blood Relatives
  • An Existing Marriage
  • Underage Marriage
  • Use of Fraud or Force
  • Unsound Mind
  • Physical Incapacity

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Questions

  • How Do Annulment and Divorce Differ?

    Answer

    While both annulment and divorce act to terminate a marriage, they have striking differences. An annulment works to nullify a marriage; legally, it’s as if it never happened. Divorce, on the other hand, can have lasting legal implications which may affect spouses for years to come.

  • Can an Annulment Be Denied if both Spouses Agree?

    Answer

    Yes. It is not enough for both parties to agree to an annulment. For an annulment to be granted by a court, a marriage must meet at least one of several specific requirements. If this is not the case, spouses may be left to explore other legal options such as a divorce.

  • How Long Will it Take to Get an Annulment?

    Answer

    Frustratingly, there is no simple answer to this question. If the annulment is uncontested, the process can be relatively quick. However, if one party disputes the motion, it can add a substantial amount of time to the process. To learn more about your specific situation, do not hesitate to contact our law firm.

  • Should I Hire an Attorney?

    Answer

    Pursuing an annulment can be a complex matter; even a seemingly simple mistake can lead to the denial of a motion. With so much on the line, you can’t afford to leave anything to chance. Experienced legal advocates like those at our firm, can help you protect your interests every step of the way. Call us today and discover how we can help.

  • Andy Ingram

    Attorney

    A native of Central Florida, Andy Ingram is committed to providing every single one of his clients with top-notch representation. Prior to graduating high school, he earned his associate’s college degree. Then, in just three short years, he graduated with two bachelor’s degrees from the University of Florida. In 2005, he graduated from University of Florida's Levin College of Law and became a licensed attorney that very same year.

    Shortly after his time as a public defender, Mr. Ingram focused his efforts on employment and labor law for many years. This unique experience enabled him to develop his skill set in discovery strategy and motion practice. He then worked at the Alachua County Office of Criminal Conflict and Civil Regional Counsel, combining his experience in civil practice and criminal defense. He is intimately familiar with both civil and criminal trial practice at the federal and state levels and has extensive federal trial experience.

  • Christopher L. Dunham

    Attorney

    As an Ocala native, Christopher Dunham is committed to providing individuals with high-quality legal representation. He attended Florida State University College of Law, where he earned his law degree, and then became a licensed attorney in 2007. Mr. Dunham started his career in law by working under State Attorney Brad King for the Fifth Judicial Circuit as a prosecutor. While he was there, he successfully handled 1,000s of felony and misdemeanor cases. Throughout his time prosecuting individuals, Mr. Dunham tried many cases for Florida, including numerous DUI trials.

    Even though Mr. Dunham is currently focused on family law and criminal defense cases, he, above all, considers himself a trial lawyer. He firmly believes that the real work of a lawyer is not conducted behind a desk but, rather, in the courtroom. As a result of this belief, he chooses his cases based on his clients’ need for proven and strong trial strategy, instead of the circumstances and laws involved.
