Annulments
Some marriages may be retroactively terminated under special circumstances. This termination is known as annulment. A couple whose marriage is annulled is considered to have never been legally married. Many factors may contribute to a marriage annulment, which may be more beneficial than divorce in some cases.
If you recently found out that your marriage is based on grounds for annulment, you need to know your legal options. Contact the Fort Lauderdale divorce lawyers of Eric N. Klein & Associates, P.A. at 954-580-8080.
Grounds for Annulment
When a couple gets an annulment, it differs from a divorce in that there will be no legal records of the couple being married or divorced. It is as if the couple was never married to begin with. Annulments are granted when a couple did not meet the requirements for a legal marriage. Common grounds for annulment include:
- Close blood relation
- Insanity of one spouse
- Coercion to marry
- Having multiple spouses
- Deception of one spouse
Individuals who have been victims of these grounds for annulment may be able to have their marriages annulled if they can provide the proper evidence or a confession on the part of their spouse. Individuals who seek annulments should hire experienced attorneys to handle their cases.
