| | Annulment Laws > Procedures > Nullification of Marriage |
 | | Annulment is the process by which a Court states that a marriage never legally existed. | | | The court may have discretion and the marriage remains valid for all civil purposes until a judicial decree of annulment is issued. | | | Other courts hold that if the marriage was permissible under the law of the state where the ceremony was performed, it will not be annulled by courts of the domicile of the parties. |

| | If an annulment is granted by the court of first instance, it must be upheld by an appeals court in another diocese (the court of second instance). | | | This officer of the court argues against the granting of an annulment unless it is an obviously deserving case. | | | An ecclesiastic annulment is a declaration by the Church that a marriage which was thought to be valid was not legally binding. |

| | Annulment |
| | Annulment of marriage cases are rare in Missouri. | | | The legal theory underlying annulment is that the marriage was never valid to begin with and therefore a court will declare an annulment upon being presented with proof of the invalidity of the marriage. | | | For instance, in a 1940 Missouri case, an annulment was granted based on the wife& false statements to her husband before the marriage that she did not have syphilis. |

| | Kansas Family and Divorce Lawyer : Annulment |
| | Like a divorce, an annulment is a court procedure that dissolves a marriage. | | | Annulments are rare since the advent of no-fault divorce, but may be obtained in most states for one of the following reasons: misrepresentation, concealment (for example of an addiction or criminal record), misunderstanding and refusal to consummate the marriage. | | | In addition, the district court may grant a decree of annulment of any marriage if the contract of marriage was induced by mistake of fact, lack of knowledge of a material fact or any other reason justifying rescission of a contract of marriage. |

| | ANNULMENT OF MARRIAGE |
| | Annulment in Connecticut is a complex legal matter, in part because the grounds for annulment are found in a number of different statutes (laws), as well as in what is known as common law. | | | Because annulment is a family law matter, people seeking legal counsel should look for an attorney with experience in family law. | | | A legal (civil) annulment is a decree that the marriage was void when it took place, meaning that the couple was never legally married in the first place. |

| | Getting a Marriage Annulled |
| | An annulment may be granted when a marriage is automatically void under the law for public policy reasons or voidable by one party when certain requisite elements of the marriage contract were not present at the time of the marriage. | | | Generally, an annulment may be sought by one of the parties to a marriage if the intent to enter into the civil contract of marriage was not present at the time of the marriage, either due to mental illness, intoxication, duress or fraud. | | | A voidable marriage is one where an annulment is not automatic and must be sought by one of the parties. |

| | Annulment - |
| | Annulment is a legal procedure for declaring a marriage null and void. | | | Annulment differs from divorce where the court ends an otherwise legal marriage on a specific date. | | | In strict legal terminology, annulment refers only to making a voidable marriage null; if the marriage is void ab initio, then it is automatically null, although a legal declaration of nullity is required to establish this. |

| | An action for annulment for this reason must be filed by the underage party within two years of reaching the age of consent; if a parent or guardian seeks to terminate the marriage of a minor, then that action must be started before the minor reaches the age of consent. | | | An annulment for this reason must be filed while the parties are both still living; however, if the condition causing the incompetence is cured and the parties continue to live as husband and wife while competent, then the law will presume the marriage has been reaffirmed. | | | First, Ohio law requires that any person seeking to end his or her marriage in an Ohio court be a resident of Ohio for at least six months, and the particular county for at least ninety (90) days, before bringing the legal action to end the marriage. |

| | Annulment Procedure |
| | An annulment is a formal judicial process governed by the universal procedural law of the Church, although each diocese has procedures that differ somewhat in specifics from those of other dioceses. | | | Although an annulment is a formal legal procedure, many petitioners find that it can also be a healing process as well. | | | Canon law requires that no person be denied access to the process merely because of an inability to make any financial contribution, and every tribunal has a number of cases every year that are handled without any cost to the petitioner. |

| | An annulment is a court ruling that a marriage was never legally valid. | | | Some people may prefer to seek an annulment for religious reasons (although it is not always necessary to obtain a civil annulment in order to qualify for a religious annulment) or because the marriage caused a party to lose spousal support from an earlier marriage. | | | Issues of custody, support, or property division may also be addressed by the court as part of an annulment proceeding, if one of the parties is found to be a putative spouse. |

| | Annulment Law |
| | Whereas a divorce brings a valid marriage to an end, an annulment is a legal decree that effectively undoes the marriage, such that in the eyes of the law the marriage did not ever exist. | | | The duration of a marriage is not a factor in the determination of whether an annulment is available. | | | An annulment may limit your ability to share in the marital estate, or to obtain spousal support (alimony) which would otherwise result from divorce. |
