Bronx Annulment Lawyers

November 16, 2017 Uncategorized

While most people who are dissatisfied with their marriages get divorced, others decide it was such a huge mistake that they want to ensure that legally it never took place. Thus, rather than get divorced, they seek an annulment. While there are numerous advantages as well as disadvantages to this legal process, more and more people are choosing to opt for this rather than simply getting separated or divorced. However, since an annulment is considered a very complex legal process, it’s important to use the services of an attorney who has extensive experience in handling these cases.

Grounds for Annulment
According to the State of New York Unified Court System, the state recognizes five specific grounds for an annulment. These include if one of the persons was under age 18 at the time of the marriage, if one or both spouses could not consent to marriage due to mental incapacity, if either spouse is unable to have sexual intercourse, if one spouse has been incurably mentally ill for a minimum of five years, or if the marriage was done under duress, coercion, or fraud. While it may sound as if any of these circumstances would be easy to prove, that’s not necessarily true. To ensure you are able to get the annulment you desire, always choose to consult a Bronx annulment lawyer who understands the proper way to proceed.

Advantages of Annulments
Compared to a divorce, there are several advantages to getting an annulment. For starters, the law will treat the marriage as if it never happened, helping avoid the stigma of being divorced. Along with this, there will be no further issues to be dealt with after an annulment, since courts do not divide up property or finances during annulment proceedings. However, if there are children involved, an annulment does not change paternity rights or parental responsibilities, and the children born during an annulled marriage are still considered legally legitimate.

Annulment Disadvantages
While there are certainly advantages to getting an annulment, persons seeking this legal remedy should realize there are also many disadvantages. Perhaps the biggest obstacle is proving one of the five grounds the state recognizes for granting annulments, since sometimes it’s a matter of your word versus that of the other person and their attorney. Because of this, annulment proceedings can be time-consuming and very expensive, so be prepared for a possibly long and drawn-out process. Add to this legal equation the time and money spent on investigations, depositions, discovery, and the court trial, and you may decide a divorce is starting to look like a much better option.

What If I Was Lied To?
In some situations, a person may marry someone, only to find out later they were lied to regarding important aspects of that person’s life. Whether they lied about their name, occupation, wealth, or other aspects of their life, consulting with a skilled annulment lawyer will help you navigate through the lies and find out what legal options you may have regarding an annulment.

Speak With an Attorney
If you feel as if you need to pursue an annulment due to one of the various reasons listed above, speak with an annulment attorney as soon as possible. By doing so, you can make sure you know exactly what to expect, and you’ll have an experienced legal professional by your side from start to finish.
