What is Marriage Annulment
What is Marriage Annulment
Marriage Annulment is less widely understood than divorce because it is less common. Annulling a marriage is a similar legal process as divorce, but with different results. With divorce, a marriage is dissolved. But when a marriage is legally annulled, the marriage is essentially seen as never being legal in the state it occurred in the first place. The governing legal bodies of the state determine the marriage as void and null. Unlike a divorce that acknowledges the previous marriage, from a legal aspect, and annulled marriage is as if it never even existed
There can be certain advantages to an annulled marriage over a simple divorce. A local family attorney will be able to best explain them to you as they pertain to your situation and the state you were married in.
