How Does Marriage Annulment Work?

While ending a marriage is extremely difficult, not every marriage has to end with divorce. A marriage annulment essentially wipes the slate clean as though you had never been married.

Annulment in Texas

Marital annulment is a legal process which treats a marriage as if it never occurred. In an annulment proceeding, the court seeks to return the two parties to the position they were in before the marriage took place. The state of Texas recognizes a few various situations for which an annulment may be granted. While an annulment may sound like a simple process, in reality, it can be much more complicated if there are other aspects to be considered, such as property rights or children.

Here are just some of the reasons that you might have grounds for annulment in Texas:

Fraud or misrepresentation
Incapacity due to intoxication
Inability to consummate the marriage
Underaged spouse
Incestuous marriage
Same-sex marriage
Mental illness or incapacity
Bigamy
Unlicensed officiant

Basic Guidelines for Annulment

In most annulment cases in Texas, both parties must be in agreement about the desire for an annulment. If adequate legal conditions exist, the courts are willing to grant joint petitions for annulment. This process can be smooth unless one of the spouses objects the annulment. If both parties are not in agreement, then a hearing in court will be required, and it will be necessary to present credible legal evidence to support the request for an annulment.

While an annulment may sound like a relatively straightforward process, there are many legal aspects that you should discuss with an experienced family law attorney. From child custody to division of property and more, you must make sure that you get the expert legal advice you need.
