Annulments

Murrieta Annulment and Family Lawyers

In some cases, instead of spouses pursuing a divorce in Murrieta, it may be more appropriate for them to seek an annulment.  When the California family courts decide to grant an annulment, they are essentially saying that a marriage never existed.  This is much different than a divorce where a marriage is legally terminated and acknowledged as existent.  If you are considering annulment, our team of Murrieta family law attorneys is here to work with you.  We can evaluate the terms of your marriage and the grounds for your annulment and then tell you if this is the right course of legal action.

To work with our team of Murrieta annulment lawyers, contact us now to set up a free case evaluation.  Whether your grounds for annulment are clearly defined or a little more complex, we have the experience and legal services you need to obtain the outcome you hope for.

An annulment is what is called a voidable marriage.  People may wish to pursue annulment when they have legitimate grounds, such as unsound mind, fraud, pre-existing marriage, forced marriage or underage marriage.   People who wish to have their marriages annulled must file a court action which will allow them to obtain a decree of nullity.  Once people have obtained a decree of nullity, their marriages will be considered non-existent.  Usually, short-term marriages are annulled in the state of California.  However, if there are legitimate grounds for nullity, long-term marriages may annulled, too.

While there are numerous reasons why people may pursue annulment in Murrieta, one thing remains certain, and that is the fact that people have a better chance of obtaining successful annulments when they work with our Murrieta family lawyers.  At Singleton Smith Law Offices, we work closely with our clients to answer their questions, provide them with sound legal advice and we help them obtain prompt annulments.
