Annulment Attorney
What is an Annulment?
An annulment acts similar to a divorce in that it legally dissolves a marriage. Unlike a divorce, however, it acts to show that the marriage never actually existed. Any legal rights that might have been granted in a marriage are null and void. Ohio law allows for the filing of annulments if either spouse is under the age of 18 or no parental or guardian consent was signed allowing the minor to marry. Other reasons why an annulment may be allowed are as follows:
- Incest
- Bigamy
- Fraud
- One of the spouses is physically incapacitated
- One of the spouses is mentally incapacitated
- The marriage was forced on one of the spouses
Obtaining an annulment requires an experienced family law attorney who is familiar with the exact Iowa laws that apply to these situations. The McGuire Law Firm has assisted many clients with filing their annulments successfully. Contact our office to discuss your specific situation.
